Job description
We’re looking for a Dean of Education to design and run a new kind of educational model at the Horowitz Andreessen Academy that’s completely distinct from any other major college - and that’s driven by students.
Our goal at the Academy is to help students cultivate four key attributes:
High Agency
AI-Native Building
People Skills
Ambition
Your job is to figure out how to get students to develop these traits at HAA. Not through traditional lectures, tests, grades, or homework - but through allowing students to create their own challenges and projects, and setting an extraordinarily high bar.
This role is part educational philosopher, part culture-builder, part coach. There isn’t a playbook for this type of educational model yet, so you’ll build it from the ground up.
In this role, you will:
Design the structures that let students direct their own learning - e.g. standups, peer review, mentorship touchpoints
Figure out how to set a high bar for student work and output, through peer norms and osmosis - instead of through enforcement
Coach and mentor students directly, pushing them to think bigger and take on harder challenges while also knowing when to step back
Hire, train, or manage instructors and mentors across disciplines
Define how the school will assess student growth - especially on traits that, by design, can't be tested or graded
If you’re excited by this vision and challenge, sketch out a version of how you would do this - and include it in your application.
