General Description
The School of Education's (SOE) Associate Dean for Research (ADR) is responsible for creating and implementing a strategic and sustainable research program for the SOE. The ADR reports to the Dean of the School of Education and is a member of the SOE's Administrative Leadership Team. The ADR works closely with center directors, faculty, department chairs, and staff and represents the SOE internally and externally.
The School of Education has prepared teachers and other education leaders for over 100 years. It took its current form in 2007 and remains therefore one of the newer graduate schools of education among the top tier of research universities. Despite being less than 20 years old, the School is regularly ranked among the nation's top ten and its research capacity has grown rapidly. In the last two fiscal years, the School has averaged $29M in research awards, with nearly half of this coming from federal sources.
Today the School enrolls around 1,200 graduate students and has conferred over 900 degrees, including over 80 doctorates, in 2024. It has 70 full-time faculty and approximately 24,000 alumni.
A new strategic plan establishes the School's vision - "To serve as the nation's most credible source of knowledge on the most important challenges facing education" - and a new framing for its mission: the School "produces solutions-focused research and prepares leaders who are empowered to use evidence to transform schools and organizations to become more effective and equitable."
The School is proud to count several well-established trans-disciplinary centers among its assets. These include Institute for Education Policy, the Center for Research and Reform in Education, the Center for the Social Organization of Schools, the Center for Technology in Education, and the Center for Safe and Healthy Schools. The School of Education has developed and implemented a strategic vision and a comprehensive approach to advancing its commitment to being a diverse, inclusive, equitable, and just community, building on the University's 2021 Second Roadmap on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
