About Deans for Impact
Every child deserves a well-prepared teacher. At Deans for Impact (DFI), we work to ensure that beginning teachers are good on day one, and on the path to become great over time. We do this by bringing together leaders of educator-preparation programs who want to change the way they prepare teachers; helping these leaders transform their programs; and influencing policy that affects their work. Guided by principles of learning science, we aim to equip teachers with the tools to create rigorous, equitable, and inclusive classrooms–so that all children thrive.

About the role of Program Manager
Deans for Impact works closely with teams from educator-preparation programs to transform how they prepare future teachers. In 2022, Deans for Impact will launch a new network to support programs in preparing novice teachers to understand – and to consistently implement in their instructional practice – well-established scientific principles of how children learn to read.
This benefits all students, but especially students who, due to structural inequities, have historically had less access to high-quality foundational skills instruction.
The Program Manager will focus on designing and delivering learning sessions and providing individualized coaching to faculty as they implement new content to better prepare teacher-candidates to practice scientifically-grounded reading instruction. The Program
Manager will also develop and maintain processes to ensure the smooth operation of the network. In addition, the Program Manager will support the development of modularized materials for faculty to use in their courses.
