Nevada stands at a generational crossroads for public education.

With historic investments, clear legislative direction, and a
shared commitment to ensuring every child can build a bright
future, the state is poised to deliver transformational results for
students. The Deputy Superintendent for Academics & Student
Achievement will help lead this next chapter, strengthening
foundational literacy and numeracy, equipping students with
durable skills, expanding pathways to college and career, and
making Nevada a national model for how public education drives
economic mobility and community vitality.

The Deputy Superintendent for Academics & Student Achievement
provides statewide leadership to elevate instructional excellence and
drive student success across Nevada. Serving as the chief architect of the
state's instructional system, this cabinet-level role aligns standards,
curriculum, assessment, and school supports around a single goal:
ensuring every student receives high-quality Tier 1 instruction every day.

Reporting directly to the State Superintendent, the Deputy
Superintendent advances a bold vision for student achievement-
improving outcomes for all students, with a focus on those furthest from
opportunity. The role leads Nevada's instructional strategy by ensuring
every school implements rigorous, standards-aligned instruction
supported by strong materials, effective professional learning, and
district-level capacity building. Additionally, the Deputy Superintendent
builds and oversees a high-performing team responsible for curriculum
and instruction, assessment and accountability, student and school
supports, early learning, and inclusive education.

The ideal candidate will have a proven record of improving student outcomes at the classroom,
school, or system level, supported by at least eight years of leadership in K-12 education. They
should have experience driving instructional or school-improvement initiatives, implementing
high-quality materials and standards-aligned professional development, and managing large
budgets and multi-office teams. Strong knowledge of ESSA, IDEA, and Nevada education
statutes is essential. Candidates should bring substantial practitioner experience-as a teacher
and instructional or school leader, or equivalent work improving outcomes at scale. A relevant
master's or doctoral degree is preferred, or an equivalent mix of education and experience.

Set a bold statewide strategy for high-quality,
standards-aligned instruction.

Recruit, develop, and lead a high-performing team
across curriculum, assessment, school improvement,
early learning, and student supports.

Drive the statewide High-Quality Instructional
Materials (HQIM) strategy in literacy, mathematics,
and science.

Build aligned systems of professional learning and
coaching in partnership with the Education Service
Center and external experts.

Strengthen continuous-improvement and
intervention practices using data to accelerate
outcomes for students furthest from opportunity.

Partner with higher education, workforce, and
community leaders to connect strong instruction to
long-term student readiness.

Lead key NDE academic initiatives before the
Legislature, State Board of Education, and public
forums.

Align and manage state and federal funds to advance
strategic priorities.
