The Johns Hopkins School of Education remains committed to working collaboratively, building a productive, supportive culture, promoting and recruiting candidates from diverse backgrounds, and inspiring our community to foster positive change.
The Administrative Leadership Team includes Dean Morphew, the vice, associate, assistant deans, senior communications director, and three chairs of the academic departments. They are advised by the Faculty Senate, Staff Forum, Student Ambassador Group, and National Advisory Council. These leaders bring a wealth of experience and expertise to management and oversight of the school’s academic, research, and practice activities.
The Dean’s Leadership Council provides a forum for information sharing and decision-making to support the dean and advance the achievement of its vision and mission of the school. This committee comprises administrative leadership, department chairs, and center directors.
