Overview
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.
Responsibilities

They coach a caseload of teachers including high performers, new to career, and underperforming. In the remaining 30% of their time, Academic Deans support student and staff culture in collaboration with Deans of Students, Deans of Fellows, Grade Level Chairs, and Department Chairs. They also support school-based and network leadership teams to ensure compliance with all state mandated metrics for STEM programming the state.
