About Deans for Impact
Every child deserves a well-prepared teacher. Deans for Impact is a national nonprofit organization working to make this the reality for every student in the U.S. We do this by bringing together leaders of educator-preparation programs who want to change the way they prepare beginning teachers; helping these leaders transform their programs through evidence, including our best scientific understanding about how students learn; supporting programs to sustain changes over time; and building the capacity of leaders in educator preparation to influence education policy.
 
Our Values
At Deans for Impact, we believe that a great workplace is one where you are inspired by your colleagues and deeply engaged in your work every day. Six core values guide our work: 

• Model professionalism – We model professionalism by seeking out feedback and fostering growth through honesty and humility.
• Be good stewards – We care deeply about our culture, and we expect everyone to positively nurture its growth and evolution.
• Practice good pedagogy – We create learning environments where all voices are heard; gather evidence to inform our decisions; and design activities with the end in mind.
• Always seek solutions – We take a nimble approach to develop solutions to problems, test them, and then iterate based on what we’ve learned.
• Design for inclusivity – We take deliberate steps to foster inclusivity in everything we do, from hiring to program design to identifying leaders to collaborate with.
• Transform the system – We take risks to create transformative change, and we’re not afraid to fail.
