Alliance for Decision Education: Director of Learning

Posted by Alliance for Decision Education on August 20, 2019

The Alliance for Decision Education (formerly How I Decide Foundation) is dedicated to the belief that better decisions lead to better lives and a better society. Our mission is to improve lives by empowering students to be better decision makers. In 2014, we began working with education experts to create engaging and award-winning programs that introduced decision skills to students across the country. Informed by our success, we realized we had to do more.

Today, the Alliance for Decision Education is gathering education and industry leaders, researchers, policymakers, teachers, program providers, and parents from across the country to ensure Decision Education becomes a critical part of every middle and high school student’s learning experience. We are building the field of Decision Education and creating a national movement that can, and will, make a difference in the lives of students for generations to come.

We are currently looking for a Director of Learning. Reporting to the Executive Director (ED), the Director of Learning will set, guide, and execute the strategy for Alliance efforts to establish, build, and integrate the field of Decision Education. A new position in the organization, the Director will have the opportunity to build the Education department. S/he will be responsible for developing our efforts to define and promulgate standards; develop and promote credentials and training programs; envision and build curricula, standards, and assessments; establish and manage relationships with state departments of education, school districts, and schools; and build collaborations with education colleges and graduate schools of education.  The Director of Learning will ensure that the Alliance is viewed as the central reference, disseminator, and conduit of Decision Education content, training, and best practices within this diverse constituency.
