UCEA Job Search Handbook

 

Welcome to the second edition of the UCEA Job Search Handbook! 

The handbook is an online resource for aspiring educational leadership faculty members and the advisors and institutions that prepare them. The handbook includes a variety of tips, strategies, suggestions, documents, and other useful resources, and is intended to enhance the quality of the job search process for educational leadership faculty candidates (whether novice or experienced).

Please click on the links below to access the substantive content of the handbook. In this edition we have added new information that may be useful for both doctoral students and experienced faculty members who are changing institutions. We also have added a new section that includes tips and suggestions for search chairs and committees. Please let us know if this resource is useful to you or if you have any questions or suggestions.
