Position Announcement
CENTER FOR URBAN SCHOOL LEADERSHIP The Center for Urban School Leadership (CUSL) at U.C. Berkeley is searching for a director, partially funded by a three-year grant from the Walter and Elise Haas, Sr. Foundation. CUSL is an organization devoted to improving school-level leadership in urban schools in the Bay Area, and includes six components:
- the Aspiring Leaders Program, working with surrounding districts to identify potential leaders;
- the Principal Leadership Institute (PLI), an innovative program preparing 40 45 individuals a year to become leaders (especially principals) in urban schools;
- the Leadership Support Program, a three-year induction and professional credential program for PLI graduates;
- the Coaching Initiative, providing coaching and other support for new leaders in urban districts;
- the Leadership Studio, bringing together district officials, university participants, and non-profit organizations to collaborate on improvements in leadership capacity;
- the Research into Practice Institute, a fledgling effort to help principals, school councils, and districts improve practice through access to research.
The Center is committed to the development of leaders who can address the complex issues of urban schools, improve the quality of instruction, and have the knowledge, skills and dispositions to facilitate conversations about race and equity. The Center models, both organizationally and pedagogically, the distributed leadership and collaborative learning communities that we advocate for urban school change.
For more information on CUSL, visit gse.berkeley.edu/program/principals/pli.html, the web site of the PLI.
The priorities for the Director will include working with partnership districts (especially San Francisco, Oakland, and West Contra Costa); broadening the Leadership Support Program; deepening the work of the Leadership Studio; and building the Research-into Practice Institute; and raising funds for the CUSL.
The ideal candidate for the CUSL directorship will have the following qualifications: (1) experience with leadership development in urban schools or districts, particularly fostering instructional leaders working collegially to improve the learning of diverse students; (2) administrative experience and the ability to administer the various programs of the Center; (3) an understanding of the methods appropriate for evaluating the programs of the Center. The directorship of the CUSL is an opportunity for an enterprising individual to join a high-profile school leadership organization and contribute to the improvement of urban schools. The candidate should have demonstrated expertise in program management, program evaluation, development and fundraising.
This position will be a Coordinator of Public Programs V, VI, or VII with an annual salary between $67,600 and $87,400, plus benefits, depending on experience and qualifications. The amount of time may be between 75% and 100% To apply, please send a letter of interest, a resume including all relevant educational experience, and the names of three references to

Position Announcement
LEADERSHIP FOR INSTRUCTIONAL IMPROVEMENT The Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a position in the area of leadership for instructional improvement. The professorial rank is open, but consideration will be given only to candidates who have received their doctoral degree within the last 12 years. The appointment should begin with the academic year 2008-09.
The person appointed to this position will be expected to contribute broadly to our doctoral research program, but will also contribute to two programs with the mission of preparing leaders for California's public schools, including principals, district officials, superintendents, or leaders in other educational organizations. The two recently developed leadership programs in the GSE are the Principal Leadership Institute, an M.A. program to prepare school-level leaders, and the Ed.D. program to prepare leaders for school districts and other multi-school organizations. These programs focus on urban schools, address diversity and equity, and prepare individuals to be instructional leaders. The successful candidate will be expected to provide expertise in methods of improving instruction at the school, multi-school, and district level, in settings with large numbers of economically disadvantaged students who are also students of color and from immigrant and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Such methods of instructional improvement might entail curricular and professional development, interventions in "low-performing" schools, and systemic alignments, but also innovative pedagogical approaches to students' academic engagement, such as culturally relevant pedagogy. Thus, we are seeking an individual whose scholarly work combines an understanding of curriculum and instruction with knowledge of how schools and districts function as organizations.
The successful candidate will be expected to (1) carry out a research program in her or his area of interest; (2) participate in the planning and direction of the professional programs; (3) teach courses in these programs as well as in Ph.D. programs; (4) direct M.A., Ed.D, and Ph.D. projects and dissertations; and (5) engage in public service related to their area of scholarship. Given that the students in our professional programs have many competing demands as full-time practitioners, the programs provide a full complement of courses during the summer, in the evenings, and on some weekends during the academic year.
Applications should include a statement of interests and qualifications; a curriculum vitae; reprints of recent publications; and the names and addresses of three references.
