I-Track Department Chair
University of California Los Angeles
Requisition Number: JPF08371
Geffen Academy educators approach teaching as an intellectual profession of the highest order, one in which knowledge is not only transmitted but created. Geffen Academy educators possess a sophisticated and reflective understanding of their discipline and a record of achievement which demonstrates their ability to utilize and contribute to the robust connections we have with UCLA, a world-class research institution. Educators’ work is guided by our school’s mission to prioritize proven educational practices while also recognizing that teaching is a complex intellectual endeavor that defies rigid codification. Geffen Academy educators seek to create trusting and caring relationships with their students and with their larger community.
Innovation Track (I-Track) is a course of study spanning Middle and Upper School that uses technology and design thinking as a framework for developing the habits of mind of innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders. Students will solve real-world problems using a variety of tools and the design thinking process, which asks students to understand the problem from a user-centered perspective, to explore solutions to the problem with rapid prototyping, and to materialize and iteratively refine solutions.
The I-Track Department Chair will be responsible for the design of an excellent program of secondary school instruction. In addition to being a master educator, the I-Track Department Chair will lead in the creation of a course of study that offers students the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills, and commitments to bring their own ideas for projects, programs, and processes into fruition. The Department Chair will direct the recruitment and management of a team of educators with complementary skills and areas of expertise, so that the department offers a rich educational program responsive to the needs and interests of Geffen Academy’s students.
The Department Chair is primarily responsible for overseeing the educational program of the department, which includes the department’s curriculum, the growth and development of the department’s educators, and the overall evaluation of the department’s functioning and mission.
