Academic Dean of STEM

Academic Dean Of Stem

Academic Deans of STEM coach and develop our teachers who close gaps in student achievement. Academic Deans are model teachers who drive results for students in their own classrooms, are pedagogical experts who can teach the art and science of teaching to others, and have experience leading, managing, and coaching adults.

The Academic Dean's primary responsibility is to drive and own instructional outcomes for students by spending the majority of their time (approximately 70%) on instructional leadership and teacher development. They set and execute the vision for STEM and Humanities on their campuses in alignment with the network's instructional visions and are the key drivers for student achievement for a subset of the student population. Academic Deans drive results by coaching a caseload of teachers including high performers, new to career, and underperforming. In the remaining 30% of their time, Academic Deans will support student and staff culture collaborating with Deans of Students, Deans of Fellows, Grade Level Chairs, and Department Chairs. Academic Deans of STEM are also charged with supporting the school based and network leadership teams in ensuring that we comply with all state mandated metrics for STEM programming the state.
