Inaugural Director of Equity and Inclusion at University of Rochester - Warner School of Education - Rochester, New York, United States
Founded in 1958, the University of Rochester's Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development offers graduate programs in teacher preparation, K-12 school leadership, higher education, education policy, counseling, human development, online teaching and learning, program evaluation, applied behavior analysis, and health professions education. The Warner School of Education offers PhD programs and an accelerated EdD option that allows eligible students to earn a doctorate in education in as few as three years part time while holding a professional job in the same field. The Warner School of Education is recognized both regionally and nationally for its tradition of preparing practitioners and researchers to become leaders and agents of change in schools, universities, and community agencies; generating and disseminating research; and actively participating in education reform. The Warner School is also deeply involved in the University's historic partnership with East High School in Rochester, NY, and the University assumed leadership of the school in 2015, working closely with educators, students, families, and the community. Our work at East is based on a belief that with sustained focus on great teaching, dynamic curriculum, and appropriate social-emotional support, school can become a place where all of our young people can find success.
