Director of Student Learning & Innovation

Focused Systems. Smarter Data. Human-Centered AI.

Innovation succeeds when focus and execution align

Why This Role, Why Now

Increasing Academic Demands

Higher standards and stakes require focused, coherent instructional systems

Diverse Learner Needs Across Programs

Multiple programs and learning environments make coherence essential

Data Without Clarity

Data exists, but actionability matters

Rapid AI Expansion Without Shared Guardrails

AI is here - governance and literacy matter for responsible adoption

We are perfectly positioned at Sage Oak to strengthen and connect the work already underway into integrated systems that drive action.

The Priorities

These are not separate priorities, but rather they function as one integrated operating system for optimized student learning and innovation.

Innovation

Strengthens how we respond and scale impact

All three engines work together to integrate efforts into one coherent instructional system. Result = positive student outcomes

The Approach

Proven leadership strengths in systems-level decision making and implementation: prioritizing the work that matters most, aligning it across departments, and communicating it clearly so it translates into shared buy-in and consistent instructional action.

I Prioritize Initiatives That:

  • Drive improved student outcomes
  • Reduce fragmentation for educators
  • Build capacity instead of dependence

Leadership in Practice:

  • Focus: Improve student outcomes through clear, actionable data
  • Coherence: Align standards → curriculum → assessment → supports
  • Implementation: Clarity + routines = shared buy-in
  • Accountability: Measure impact → refine → scale

End Result:

  • Instructionally sound decisions
  • Data with purpose
  • Human-centered, responsible innovation
  • Cross-departmental collaboration and cohesion
