Date: Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 1:32 PM<br>Subject: Two Opportunities at Arizona State<br>To: <a href="mailto:AERA_DIVISION_H-ANNOUNCE@listserv.aera.net">AERA_DIVISION_H-ANNOUNCE@listserv.aera.net</a><br><br><br>Arizona State University – The College of Teacher Education & Leadership<br>
invites applications for:<br>
<br>
1) *Director* - Teacher Preparation Research and Evaluation Project<br>
(T-PREP).<br>
<br>
- Project Overview: Arizona State University, Northern Arizona<br>
University, and the University of Arizona, in conjunction with school,<br>
state, and business partners, and with support from the Arizona Community<br>
Foundation (ACF), are developing an assessment model by which the<br>
effectiveness of teachers prepared by ASU, NAU, and the UA can be<br>
meaningfully assessed. The model will be used for formative assessment,<br>
providing ongoing feedback to teacher preparation programs, teachers,<br>
schools, and state policy makers. Although the project was initiated by the<br>
three state public universities, the successful candidate will work within<br>
ASU and in collaboration with the other teacher preparation institutions<br>
across the state, including community colleges and private institutions.<br>
- Position Description: Reporting to the Co-Principal Investigators, the<br>
successful candidate will (1) manage research and evaluation projects; (2)<br>
oversee graduate students who will collect and analyze data; (3) work with<br>
CTEL faculty who will help conduct research and evaluation projects; (4)<br>
work with the T-PREP Steering Committee in support of projects; and (6)<br>
assist with maintaining and disseminating information on the T-PREP website.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
2) *Director and Post-Doctoral Fellow* - Partnership Office for Research on<br>
Teaching, Assessment, and Learning (PORTAL).<br>
<br>
- Project Overview: In October 2009, CTEL received a $33.8 million grant<br>
from the U.S. Department of Education Teacher Quality Partnership Grant<br>
Program to continue to help them (1) restructure their teacher<br>
certification programs, (2) expand their programs via its Professional<br>
Development Schools (PDS) initiative, (3) upgrade the professionalism of<br>
teacher training, (4) upgrade the selection process for future teachers, (5)<br>
integrate teacher education programs into other colleges at the university,<br>
and (6) recruit talented individuals from other colleges to become teachers.<br>
One major component of this grant involves the development of the<br>
Partnership Office for Research on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning<br>
(PORTAL). The purpose of PORTAL is two fold: (1) Internal Accountability -<br>
to hold CTEL accountable for the quality of its programs and the teachers it<br>
graduates by tracking them into the field and measuring their effectiveness<br>
years after they enter the profession, and (2) External Accountability - to<br>
hold CTEL accountable for the impact it has on the larger community, which<br>
will be fostered via research and evaluation partnerships with Arizona<br>
school districts.<br>
- Position Description: Reporting to the Co-Principal Investigators, the<br>
successful candidate will (1) build and oversee partnerships with districts<br>
and schools; (2) manage research and evaluation projects; (3) oversee<br>
graduate students who will collect and analyze data; (4) work with CTEL<br>
faculty who will help conduct research and evaluations; (5) work with<br>
internal and external advisory boards in support of projects; and (6) assist<br>
with maintaining and disseminating information on the PORTAL website.<br>
