International Student Experience Fellow

14-Nov-2024<h4>Senior Director, States Leading States Project</h4>Harvard Graduate School of Education 67346BRJob SummaryHGSE is a diverse community&nbsp;of learners, teachers, and employees who are passionate about changing the world through education and striving for maximum impact in the field of education.The States Leading States (SLS) initiative at Harvard University will identify and spread evidence-based education policies throughout the United States. Housed within Harvard’s Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR), SLS will partner with state education agencies to evaluate their initiatives’ impacts on student outcomes—such as “science of reading” reforms, cell phone bans, new instructional materials and high school redesign—and then work with organizations such as the National Governor’s Association (NGA), the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Council of State Legislatures (NCSL) to disseminate policies which have proven effective. States have undertaken a range of education reforms in recent years. Not all efforts have benefited students. SLS will highlight and spread the policies that have had the most positive impacts.&nbsp;The Senior Director will play a pivotal role in driving SLS forward, directly engaging with state leaders, working with faculty and researchers to design studies to evaluate the concerns of critics (as well as the hopes of proponents), and collaborating with organizations to spread the word about effective reforms.

We are looking for a candidate with an unusual combination of skills: fluency with quantitative research design, strong project management skills (overseeing data collection, analysis, analysis, report writing and dissemination) and the exemplary communication skills to maintain relationships with state leaders and state associations.
