JOB DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES
The Dual Enrollment (DE) Director leads the expansion of dual enrollment across LAUSD to ensure every student has access to high-quality, intentional pathways aligned with CalGETC or CTE programs of study.
Typical duties for this position include:
- Designing and overseeing districtwide systems to scale dual enrollment in alignment with CalGETC and CTE pathways.
- Ensuring every high school has intentional, strategic DE course offerings; building toward universal access.
- Developing consistent processes for scheduling, coding, transcript credit, and enrollment.
- Working with data staff to build dashboards tracking DE participation, equity, and outcomes.
- Champion the value of DE with principals, counselors, site staff, and district leadership.
- Leading professional development for counselors, teachers, and site staff on advising, scheduling, and supporting DE students.
- Aligning DE expansion with superintendent initiatives (Two-for-One for Everyone, Dream It, Achieve It) and LAUSD’s strategic plan.
- Representing LAUSD at regional/state DE convenings (LARC, workforce boards, higher education partners).
- Ensuring DE pathways are accessible to disproportionately impacted students (Latino, African American, EL, foster, SWD, low-income).
- Collaborating with Counseling to integrate DE into Individual Graduation Plans (IGPs) and equity-focused advising.
- Working with Early College Academies and Early/Middle Colleges to strengthen and expand models addressing opportunity gaps.
- Partnering with CTE-LL WBL Coordinators to connect DE students to career exploration, mentoring, and pre-/apprenticeship pipelines.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Minimum Education: Bachelor’s degree in education, public administration, or a related field from an accredited college or university (Master's Preferred).
Minimum Experience: Five (5) full years of full-time work experience in K–12 education, with leadership experience in CTE, Linked Learning, or dual enrollment.
DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS
The ideal candidate is an equity-driven, hands-on systems builder and strategic leader with extensive leadership experience expanding college and career access within a K–12 educational system. They possess a comprehensive understanding of California’s K–12 Strong Workforce Program (SWP), Cal-GETC transfer requirements, and the dual enrollment landscape, including CCAP agreements and Career Technical Education (CTE). The successful candidate will design, implement, and scale a standardized, districtwide dual enrollment infrastructure to operationalize the district’s initiatives, while working closely with the CTE department to support K–12 SWP implementation and outcome tracking. They excel at intentionally aligning coursework with high-wage, high-demand career sectors such as Health Care, Biotechnology, and Green Energy, and building dual enrollment pathways that lead to stackable certificates and degrees.
Because this role requires both strategic leadership and hands-on implementation, the ideal candidate must be comfortable leading system-level change while also managing the daily operational details needed to make dual enrollment work across schools and colleges. This includes supporting master scheduling, standardizing course coding within student information systems such as MiSiS, coordinating with LACCD partners, developing shared pathway maps, monitoring student enrollment and completion data, and using dashboards to track progress toward measurable outcomes, including annual dual enrollment growth, increased course completion, and improved equity in student participation.
The ideal candidate has a demonstrated ability to build collaborative partnerships with higher education institutions, district departments, school-site leaders, counselors, CTE Linked Learning staff, and regional workforce partners. They are also experienced in managing grant-funded initiatives, documenting outcomes, and using data to improve implementation. Above all, they are a proactive problem solver who is committed to removing enrollment barriers, closing equity gaps, and ensuring that disproportionately impacted students have access to pathway-aligned dual enrollment opportunities that support college, career, and economic mobility.
