Bishop, a member of the University of Vermont faculty since 1998, fills the dean position held in the interim for the past two years by Mary Gresham.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very happy to announce that Dr. Bishop will be joining the UMaine community as the next dean of the College of Education and Human Development,\u201d says UMaine Provost John Volin. \u201cHer leadership experience and expertise will help continue to advance the strong academic, service and research tradition this college is known for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to acknowledge and thank Dr. Gresham, whose more than 40 years of higher education experience and leadership were vital during this particularly difficult time,\u201d Volin says.<\/p>\n

Bishop, who specializes in middle-level teacher education, served as associate dean in the UVM College of Education and Social Services from 2014\u201320. She co-directs the Middle Grades Institute, providing annual professional development to 200 educators.<\/p>\n

For eight years, Bishop directed UVM\u2019s Middle Level Teacher Education Program and was founding director of the Tarrant Institute for Innovative Education from 2009\u201317.<\/p>\n

Bishop\u2019s research, focusing on the provision of responsive learning environments for young adolescents, has received more than $13 million in external funding to improve education for this age group. She has co-authored six books on education reform, the most recent being \u201cThe Successful Middle School: This We Believe\u201d and \u201cPersonalized Learning in the Middle Grades.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is executive advisor to the Middle Grades Education Research Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association, former chair of the Research Advisory Board of the Association for Middle Level Education, and co-editor of the Middle Grades Review.<\/p>\n

Her numerous awards include the 2019 New England Secondary Schools Consortium Champion for Vermont, and the 2017 James P. Garvin Distinguished Service Award from the New England League of Middle Schools.<\/p>\n

Bishop has been both a middle school and secondary school teacher. She received a master\u2019s degree in curriculum and instruction, and an Ed.D. in educational leadership and policy studies, both from the University of Vermont.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to be selected as dean of the College of Education and Human Development, particularly at a time of such innovation and growth at the university,\u201d Bishop says. \u201cThroughout the search process, I was impressed by the deep dedication to student success that was conveyed by all involved. I look forward to building on this commitment, to collaboratively constructing vital research and education initiatives, and to amplifying UMaine\u2019s impact in the state, nationally, and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
