Job Announcement for the Education Delivery Institute
Title: Higher Education Engagement Manager
Location: Washington, DC
Organization Overview
The Education Delivery Institute (EDI) is an innovative nonprofit organization that helps public education leaders to implement education reform at scale. We exist to increase educational achievement and attainment for all students – by increasing the number of high school students who graduate college and career ready and then go on to complete postsecondary education.
EDI partners with both K-12 and higher education leaders with ambitious reform agendas and invests in their capacity to deliver results. By employing an approach known as delivery, a proven methodology for effective implementation in the public sector, we help leaders maintain the necessary focus to plan and drive reform. For additional information, please visit www.deliveryinstitute.org.
Higher Education Team
The higher education team works directly with system and campus leaders to implement and scale strategies to increase student retention and graduation while closing attainment gaps. Leaders look to EDI for guidance and support in implementing proven strategies through intentional planning, implementation, progress monitoring and data use.
Our campus practice, Student Success Implementor, builds on our success working with system leaders and translate this to the campus level. We help committed campus leaders increase student success by making sense of the data they collect and using it to implement targeted, proven strategies.
