Posting Title:

Office Manager - PIC

Department:

DAL-Office of the President-500000

Job Location:

Dallas

Salary Information:

Salary commensurate with experience

Department Summary:

The Principal Impact Collaborative at UNT Dallas is an innovative leadership program for North Texas school leaders. PIC was originally launched because our urban schools need to retain high-performing principals who create an environment where teachers want to stay and student learning thrives. Experienced principals need to be empowered and inspired to drive impact on their campuses. PIC seeks to provide the time and space for school leaders to grow and thrive.

Our program model is unique nationally in that our curriculum blends three key content areas to provide a “whole adult” approach to leadership development: transformative leadership, human centered design (aka design thinking) and personal resilience/well-being. Our model also provides an opportunity for participants to network and share best practices with like-minded peers, while incubating and executing a ‘big idea’ to drive impact on their campus. Our program’s core values are centered on respecting the individual leader and equipping them to have the confidence, skills, and resilience to lead successfully and generate sustained impact in their demanding roles.

During the current 2020-2021 school year, PIC manages its signature program for experienced principals through two cohorts, which support roughly 40 principals/leaders from Dallas ISD, Fort Worth ISD, Uplift Education, Garland ISD and Richardson ISD. This signature program supports high-performing leaders to drive innovation and impact on their campuses through the development of their campus projects, while also re-energizing leaders to sustain the role. Additional information about our signature program can be found on our website: www.principalimpactcollaborative.org

In the 2021-2022 school year, PIC will continue to serve experienced principals through our signature program. PIC is also entering the second year of a New Principal Academy, a partnership with Dallas ISD, which serves all the district’s new principals through a lighter-touch model to develop leadership and resilience in new school leaders. PIC will also be piloting new program models for partner school districts. These models may include a year-long program for principal supervisors, a rising leaders program, and some targeted professional development for school leaders, district leaders and campus teams. Additional partnerships and pilots will continue and evolve throughout the year as PIC continues to scale impact.

In the spring of 2022, PIC will also recruit for its 6th principal / school leader cohort, which is expected to support 20-30 school leaders from at least 7 school districts.

A student-focused public research university, UNT graduates more than 8,500 students each year from its 12 colleges and schools and offers 97 bachelor’s, 82 master’s and 35 doctoral degree programs, many nationally and internationally recognized. As UNT’s strengths in science, engineering and technology grow, the university continues to nurture its core areas of distinction in music, education, social sciences, business, the arts and humanities. Leading Texas public universities in the number of Goldwater Scholars and designated a “Best in the West” university by The Princeton Review, UNT is known for its academic excellence.

By providing access, welcoming diversity and strengthening collaborations with our many educational, business and community partners, as well as building new partnerships across the globe, UNT's faculty and staff work each day to prepare students for the challenges they will meet in our changing world.
