Chaney Mosley, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Agricultural Education and Associate Director of the Tennessee STEM Education Center at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), where he instructs coursework for preservice teachers in Career and Technical Education (CTE) and other STEM fields and works on teams to secure external funding for research and outreach. Over the past five years at MTSU, he has served as PI or Co-PI on numerous federally funded grant projects securing a combined total of external funding in excess of $31 million. Since assuming the role of agricultural education professor, the number of program graduates has increased by 233%. Harnessing the alumni network from the School of Agriculture, Dr. Mosley raised $25,000 in less than two years to establish a new endowment creating a permanently funded scholarship for undergraduate students pursuing agricultural education degrees. Further, in 2018, he established Raider Roundup, a College and Career Exploration Day recruitment event for high school students with 268 inaugural attendees; participation increased 107% by 2022. Dr. Mosley sits on six university committees and represents MTSU on six external committees and boards, including a Governor appointed position on the Tennessee Farmer Suicide Prevention Task Force. He currently serves more than 23,000 members as President of the Association for Career and Technical Education, the nation’s largest organization for CTE professionals, aimed at providing educational leadership in developing a competitive workforce.  

Before joining MTSU, Dr. Mosley was the Director CTE and the Academies of Nashville for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools (MNPS), where he provided leadership for 41 career academies employing 125 CTE educators across 15 high schools serving more than16,000 students. He managed an operating budget in excess of $9.8 million while collaborating with more than 350 business, industry and higher education partners to support successful secondary to postsecondary transitions for a diverse student population, with greater than 75% of students coming from low-income families. He was also an Assistant Principal at Nashville Big Picture High School, a specialty school with embedded work-based learning where all students engage with industry partners through a two-day off-campus internship each week. After executing the five-year strategic plan for the Academies of Nashville, a 2015 review of data showed impressive results with student achievement at the advanced and proficient level having risen 28% in Algebra I, 15% in English I, 9% in English II, 11% in Biology, 23% in Algebra II, and 11% in Chemistry; 5,129 more high school students scored at the advanced or proficient level as compared to 2010. The average ACT score increased to 18.4 with the number of students receiving a 21 or higher increasing from 27% to 29.3%, and MNPS has experienced a 90.1% increase in CTE concentrators with scholarship offers increasing from $83.5 million in 2012, the year Dr. Mosley assumed the position, to $116.8 million.

Dr. Mosley has more than 20 years of experience in CTE leadership that encompasses teaching, outreach, policy and research; he has earned a national reputation in the field. He completed the National Leadership Fellowship with the Association for Career and Technical Education and has helped formulate and implement local, state, and national education policy. He was featured on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered in a story titled “College? Career Tech? In Nashville, Teens Do Both” and he was interviewed for a USA Today story titled “Closing the Gap Between School and Work” where he spoke about career and technical education as an approach to dropout prevention. By invitation, he twice participated in the Clinton Global Initiative American as part of the Reconnecting Youth working group aimed at the reengagement of opportunity youth, where he collaborated with state and local organizations to create a program serving foster youth in successful transitions to adulthood through workforce development initiatives.

Dr. Mosley is known for research and evaluation related to career and technical education. He has received the Outstanding Research Poster award from the Association for Career at Technical Education Research (ACTER) for research related to high school student career readiness, authored/co-authored more than 35 empirical and practical articles about education and workforce development, presented more than 55 professional development workshops and presentations to educational leaders, researchers, and practitioners, and delivered the keynote address at four conferences. Practically, he has conducted statewide CTE teacher professional development needs assessments for the states of Tennessee and Washington and currently serves on the National Career Clusters Advisory Committee for AdvanceCTE, the longest-standing national non-profit that represents State Directors and state leaders responsible for secondary, postsecondary and adult Career Technical Education (CTE) across all 50 states and U.S. territories.
