University of 海角社区 Executive Vice President and Provost Jeffrey Hecker has named Timothy Reagan the dean of the College of Education and Human Development, effective July 1.<\/p>\n

The appointment is pending approval by the University of 海角社区 System Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n

Reagan replaces U海角社区 Professor of Higher Education Susan Gardner, who has served as interim dean for the past nine months.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Reagan has a more than 30-year career in education as a faculty member, researcher and administrator \u2014 demonstrated engagement and expertise essential to helping fulfill the statewide mission of the 海角社区\u2019s flagship university,\u201d says Hecker. \u201cIn addition, he has international experience that will provide important perspective on global issues in education in 海角社区 and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also want to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Gardner for her leadership as interim dean, effectively positioning the college to advance its teaching, research, innovation and engagement initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

U海角社区\u2019s College of Education and Human Development prepares more 海角社区 teachers and education leaders than any other institution. In the land grant tradition, the college is engaged in nearly all of 海角社区\u2019s more than 140 school districts. U海角社区\u2019s graduate education programs are nationally ranked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted to be joining the University at an especially exciting time in its history,\u201d Reagan says, \u201cand look forward to working closely with colleagues in the College of Education and Human Development, and, of course, with our many partners in the community to address the many challenges and opportunities that face us as we move forward to continue to serve the state and the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reagan recently returned to the United States, having served for three and a half years as founding dean of the Graduate School of Education at Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan. He has held a variety of senior faculty and administrative positions at institutions in the U.S. and South Africa, including Gallaudet University, University of Connecticut, Roger Williams University, Central Connecticut State University and University of the Witwatersrand.<\/p>\n

He holds a Ph.D and master\u2019s degree in educational policy studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.<\/p>\n

Reagan says the core values that have guided his career include a belief in the role of a liberal education as a foundational part of the preparation of educators; a deep respect for diversity and inclusivity in schools and society, broadly conceived and grounded in a powerful concern for social justice; and, most important, a commitment to working to ensure that the highest quality of education is available to students at all levels of the educational system.<\/p>\n

His areas of expertise include teacher education and teacher education reform, language policy and planning in education, foreign language education, sign languages, and comparative and international education. Reagan is the author of more than a dozen books and 150 refereed journal articles and book chapters on educational and applied linguistics, educational policy studies, educational reform \u2014 especially at the preK\u201312 level, teacher education, comparative education and philosophy of education.<\/p>\n
