U
Dean of the School of Education
  • University of Wisconsin–Madison
  • Madison, WI FULL_TIME
  • Job Summary:

    The University of Wisconsin-Madison, established in 1848 and considered one of the world's outstanding public research universities, invites applications and nominations for the position of dean of the School of Education. UW-Madison, the flagship campus of the Universities of Wisconsin, is a land-grant university committed to excellence in teaching, research, and public service. UW-Madison has an annual budget of approximately $3.7 billion, a student body exceeding 50,000, and a community of more than 25,000 faculty and staff. UW-Madison is driven by the 'Wisconsin Idea', the notion that the University should enhance the lives of every person in the state of Wisconsin, as well as around the nation and the world.

    The dean, who reports to the chancellor through the provost, serves as the chief academic and executive officer of the School of Education, with responsibilities in the areas of staffing, budget, curriculum, student academic affairs, and physical space, as well as fundraising and alumni relations.

    The School of Education is consistently ranked as one of the best in the nation. According to the 2023-24 U.S. News and World Report 'Best Graduate Schools' rankings, UW-Madison's School of Education is No. 3 - marking the 10th straight year it has been ranked among the top five. In addition, nine graduate programs in the School of Education were ranked in the top 10 by U.S. News.

    One of the School's great strengths is its breadth and potential for interdisciplinary collaboration across a range of departments and programs in the arts, health, and education. It is unlike any other school of education in the country due to this unique grouping of 10 academic departments, which include: Art, Counseling Psychology, Curriculum and Instruction, Dance, Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, Educational Policy Studies, Educational Psychology, Kinesiology, Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education, and Theatre and Drama. Programs across the School are growing and in increased demand - with more students engaging with the School's highly regarded undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree programs than before. The School is second among all schools and colleges in academic credit activity on the UW-Madison campus, awarding 434 undergraduate, 360 master's, and 100 doctoral degrees in the last year.

    The School is actively engaged in promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion by reducing barriers and creating opportunities to access; increasing the demographic diversity of its faculty, staff, and students; and encouraging scholarship, teaching, community engagement, and service that embraces and engages the full measure of the diversity of our society.

    The School of Education is home to a range of world-class research. Some of this work takes place in the Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER), which provides a research home for approximately 140 grant-funded projects and staff. One of the most productive education research centers in the world, WCER has assisted scholars and practitioners to develop, submit, conduct, and share grant-funded education research for nearly 60 years. WCER is also home to WIDA, a fee-for-service project that advances language development and academic achievement for multilingual children to help ensure equitable, quality education. WIDA provides an integrated system of support to 42 states, territories, and education agencies that contract with WIDA to meet federal requirements under the Every Student Succeeds Act. This system includes a federally peer-reviewed English language proficiency assessment, ACCESS for ELLs, completed by more than 2 million students each year.

    In addition, departments in the School conduct cutting-edge research that benefits society, ranging from work on autism spectrum and Alzheimer's disease to learning science, mental health interventions, and education policy research, to name a few. The School's research, scholarship, performances, and artistic production in the arts are rooted in a history of continued excellence, from serving as home to the nation's first Dance Department and Glass Lab, as well as supporting one of the nation's top print-making programs in the Art Department. Across departments and centers in the School is a commitment to community-engaged research, outreach, and partnerships that are in service to the state, country, and world.

    The School of Education is also unique in that it receives incredible support from its alumni and friends. This is due to a productive and highly collaborative relationship with the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association. In the past eight years, the School has raised more than $50 million for undergraduate and graduate student support across the arts, health, and education. These supports have broadened access to the School's programs, diversified its student population, and enabled more of its students to study abroad and take courses in the summer. One donor-funded program is the UW-Madison School of Education Wisconsin Teacher Pledge, launched in 2020. If students in any of the School of Education's 15 teacher preparation programs commit to staying and teaching in Wisconsin for three or four years, the Teacher Pledge program pays the equivalent of in-state tuition and fees, as well as testing and licensing costs. To date, 758 current students and alumni have taken the Pledge, and there are now 350 Teacher Pledge alumni teaching in 87 Wisconsin public school districts and 14 private schools around the state.

    The Dean currently supervises 11 direct reports and provides leadership across central units that include the Teacher Education Center; the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; the Office of Professional Learning and Community Education; the Global Engagement Office; Media, Education Resources and Information Technology; Academic Advising and Career Services; and the Office of Communications and Advancement.

    The School of Education employs more than 1,100 people, including: 164 faculty, 568 academic staff (including 143 instructional staff), 45 university staff, and 346 graduate student teaching/research/project assistants. The annual budget of the School is $200 million.
