The organization\u2019s year-long Impact Academy gives dean-level leaders the skills, knowledge and strategies to pursue instructional excellence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this will give me\u2014and UTC by connection\u2014a voice that has more influence on a wider scale than just right here in our own town and our own state,\u201d said Rutledge, who joined the UTC faculty in 1995 after teaching English and Latin for Hamilton County schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf all of us are headed in the same direction of trying to prepare the best teachers possible, there are some commonalities that we can all talk about, share best practices and learn what worked for somebody else\u2014and then benefit from it ourselves,\u201d said Rutledge, who became director of the School of Education in 2003 and was named dean of CHEPS in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The newest Impact Academy cohort spans 12 states and collectively prepares over 6,600 teachers annually. Every member was selected following an intensive nomination, application and interview process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that transformative leadership is the cornerstone of an educator-preparation program that embraces an improvement mentality and prioritizes candidate learning above all else,\u201d said Benjamin Riley, founder and executive director of Deans for Impact.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Impact Academy fellowship combines monthly virtual sessions with regular learning modules and ongoing leadership coaching from Deans for Impact member deans. Fellows strengthen their ability to engage faculty, staff and K-12 school partners in a shared vision for change.<\/p>\n<p>Collaborating with others nationwide is an opportunity to hear different ideas from different perspectives but all working toward the same goals, Rutledge said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis gives us the chance to hear from other people who have a similar interest who might want to throw out ideas that we would all benefit from. When we meet with our colleagues from here in Tennessee, for example, we find ourselves focused on many of the same things,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though we are different institutions\u2014some private, some public, various sizes\u2014it tends to be that we all have very similar ideas we focus on. Having a larger voice expands that even further.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additional information about Deans for Impact and the Impact Academy fellowship can be located at <a href=\"https:\/\/deansforimpact.org\/\">deansforimpact.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valerie Rutledge, dean of the College of Health, Education and Professional Studies has selected for a national education group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2020\/08\/national-group-will-exchange-educational-ideas-rutledge-says\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1493,"featured_media":32561,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,3,7712,8244,64],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-32557","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-college-of-health-education-and-professional-studies","8":"category-community","9":"category-faculty-and-staff","10":"category-honors-and-awards","11":"category-news","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
