National Academy of Education Seeks Project Manager at Stanford University
for
Committee on Teacher Education
The National Academy of Education's Committee on Teacher Education seeks a
Project Manager to coordinate all aspects of the committee's work
beginning September 1, 2001. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education's
Fund for the Improvement of Education, the Committee on Teacher Education
has begun work to develop recommendations about the central concepts
regarding learning, development, curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy that
should guide the core curriculum of teacher education programs.
The project, currently scheduled for two years, has convened a group of 28
distinguished education researchers, successful teacher educators, and
experienced practitioners. The group will meet five additional times
before December 2002 to develop recommendations about teacher education
content and strategies. The committee will also coordinate its efforts
with seven partner universities that will inform and evaluate the
recommendations, consider questions of implementation, and advise the
committee on the appropriateness and feasibility of its recommendations.
The project manager / senior researcher will be responsible for
coordinating all aspects of the committee meetings, drafting and compiling
recommendations and reports, overseeing contracted research, monitoring
budget, seeking future funding, and providing support to the co-chairs of
the committee John Bransford and Linda Darling-Hammond. The project
manager will report to the committee co-chairs, and will work with the
executive director of the National Academy of Education who serves as
liaison to the Academy board and U.S. Department of Education and oversees
the financial management of the grant. A part-time research associate to
support this project is currently on staff at Stanford University.

research, and the ability to work collaboratively with a diverse group of
