The University
Sonoma State University's beautiful 274-acre campus is located in Sonoma County wine country, an hour north of San Francisco. The campus offers the ideal setting for teaching and learning and access to a community of rich cultural, environmental, and recreational opportunities. Founded in 1960, SSU is one of the 23 campuses of the California State University System. As members of the largest public higher educational system in the nation, we provide accessible, high-quality education.

The Department- Administrative Services Credential (ASC) Program
We are seeking a faculty member to join our dynamic, equity-driven educational leadership preparation program.
The Sonoma State University School of Education provides transformative educational experiences through teaching, research, and key initiatives. We prepare undergraduates, graduate students, and credential candidates to advocate for social justice in their learning and throughout their careers so that students, schools, and communities thrive.
Central to this mission is the crafting and delivery of an educational leadership preparation program that centralizes social justice in theory and action, promotes reflective practice, is research-based, and humanizes learning spaces. Our program is grounded in respect for cultural, linguistic, and economic diversity.
Our ultimate goal is to provide our diverse group of candidates with instruction and aligned field experiences designed to bridge the theory to practice divide in equity-driven educational leadership. Small class sizes and a collaborative spirit among our diverse faculty contribute to a distinctive climate of community among students, faculty, and professionals in the surrounding school districts.
