New College of Florida invites applications for an instructional faculty position in the M.A. in Educational Leadership program beginning in Fall of 2026. This program is born out of a recognition that most masters in educational leadership and principal certificate programs focus on school operations and compliance, while research indicates that instructional leadership is the fundamental leadership competency that leads to excellent school outcomes.

As New College of Florida strives to be the nation’s premier liberal arts college, this program represents a vital part of that mission. It is built to ensure each graduate will be ready to lead schools that will put our country back in the running among the world’s top educational systems.

The M.A. in Educational Leadership integrates the latest research and best practices in the cognitive science of learning with the timeless wisdom found in the Great Books of the Western World. This program will train current and aspiring academic leaders to provide the kind of instructional leadership that develops great teachers.

Faculty in this program will teach in a graduate program that produces leaders who will be ready to create exceptional school culture, lead high‑performing school teams, and build talent that leads to outlier outcomes for students and families. This includes leading instruction of core classes and overseeing clinical coursework where future leaders develop their teaching and leadership skills on the front lines.

The teaching load is two courses per semester. Faculty may also need to oversee internships and seminars required of the graduate students. The faculty member will be expected to work closely with the program director on the materials used and the method of delivery of the courses. Must be willing to teach evening courses as needed.
