Dean of Students-20 years Experience in Education- Looking to Relocate to San Diego area

My current position is Dean of Students at one of the largest middle schools in the state of Nevada. I have over 20 years experience in education. I am responsible for monitoring, mediating, and assigning discipline for students in grades 6-8. I am the instructional leader for Social Studies and the Special Education Departments. My responsibilities include observing teachers, facilitate professional discussions regarding practice, facilitate high profile special education meetings, monitor the compliance of state and federal mandates, expertise in monitoring and analyzing teacher performance, conduct investigations regarding possible unprofessional infractions. I've also worked at the university level supervising student teachers. Previously I've enjoyed teaching students with learning disabilities, mental retardation, Autism, visual impairments, hearing, orthopedic impairments, and also with an array of genetic and environmental disorders. My goal philosophy as an educator is to provide a valuable, interesting and challenging curriculum that inspires students to perform at their highest individual level. I've lead my previous school to four consecutive national awards that recognized our philosophy and successful inclusive practices. I am a highly motivated, energetic educator who works collaboratively within a group as well as excelling in producing quality work individually while meeting all deadlines. I enjoy thinking outside the box, analyzing unsuccessful programs, restructuring, and then monitoring. I'm an enthusiastic presenter who enjoys training and inspiring adult learners. I am looking forward to relocating to the San Diego area and finding a home with a public or private learning institution who would value someone who is experienced, innovative, collaborative, analytic and loves education.
