Dean of Academics Job Description

Beta is a Title I Schoolwide campus. I understand that part or all of this job could be funded with federal funds.

At Beta, we believe building world-class schools starts with offering a world-class education. That begins with academics. No matter your role, whether in operations, culture, or instruction, your first charge as a leader is to know where our scholars are academically and to own their success. Academic achievement comes first. Character development is a close second. Both are non-negotiable and require every leader to act as a team player. This may include planning and teaching after-school tutorials, pulling small groups, covering classes, or coordinating Saturday school. We move the academic dial together with urgency and excellence.

Mission

The Dean of Academics serves as the campus academic leader responsible for scholar achievement and growth leading to an A rating by TEA. Working closely with the Principal, Director of Curriculum & Instruction (C&I), Chief of Academics, and interventionists, the Dean ensures that instruction, assessment, and intervention systems drive measurable academic excellence.

Reports To

The Dean of Academics reports to the Principal and Chief of Academics.
