Sara Mead, gender warrior, scourge of the infant education industry, frequent commentator on the DC schools scene, expert on all things regarding small children, founding Quick & ED contributor, genuinely nice person, and policy analyst par excellence, is leaving us to begin an inevitably successful stint at the New America Foundation. It's a sad moment for everyone at Education Sector; Sara wrote many of the organization's first and best reports, and she leaves behind an example that will be hard to follow.
But follow it someone shall. We're now hiring for a new senior policy analyst to fill Sara's (metaphorically) large shoes. All the requisite qualifications apply--we're looking for a smart, innovative thinker who's great at research and analysis and even better at writing, someone with significant experience and expertise in a range of policy areas and environments.
More broadly, we're looking for someone who wants to tackle one or more of the big-picture education policy challenges of the day--making the K-12 accountability systems of today work better for all students while inventing the accountability systems of tomorrow; giving all students and parents more choices of high-quality public schools; increasing the supply of top-notch teachers, particularly for the students who need them the most. We need an analyst who not only has great ideas in these areas but also has the will and strategic vision to translate them into real-world improvement on behalf of student and society at large.
If you're that person, let us know. And don't forget the job comes with the keys to this blog, along with a full tank of gas, unlimited mileage, and no-fault insurance. We're looking forward to hearing from you.
