The Rhode Island Department of Education is creating a new Office of Adult
Education to integrate the wide range of adult literacy and basic adult
education programs statewide. We are seeking a Director to lead this
statewide effort linking it to workforce, economic development and other
educational initiatives. The goal is to provide adult learners with access
to educational and support services to achieve their educational and
personal goals as workers, parents and family members, citizens and
community members and lifelong learners. Achieving these goals will require
vision, innovation and the ability to achieve measurable standards of
excellence.

Key responsibilities will include: policy and systems development,
interagency collaboration, ensuring a continuum of education from beginning
literacy through higher education and job training, program quality and
accountability, program/staff development and support, and program
operations and management.

Requirements:

* Five or more years of experience in policy analysis and development
at the local, state or national level.
* Ten or more years of experience in leadership positions in adult
education.
* Masters in Adult Education or related field is required; a Ph.D. is
preferred.

A substantially equivalent combination of education and experience will be
considered.
