<\/p>\n
This position opening presents an opportunity to join a department that upholds a commitment to critical pedagogy, prepares future teachers as public intellectuals, and actively engages matters of teaching, learning, schooling, and educational policy. It is also an opportunity to join a campus community working to build on the College’s equity-oriented founding tradition, fulfill its commitment to pedagogical excellence, and support its students to “put the liberal arts into action” for the public good.<\/p>\n
Candidates should bring expertise in one or more of the following areas: critical pedagogy, urban education, critical race theory, curriculum and instruction, ethnic studies or curriculum studies. Candidates must have: an earned doctorate in a relevant area of study or defense date by August 2019, a demonstrated scholarly record or potential, and a commitment to critical pedagogy and public education. The strongest applications will also evidence accomplishments in any or all of the following areas: undergraduate teaching, K-12 teaching experience, elementary education, and teacher education program development. Ideal candidates will bring an understanding of the larger historical, sociocultural, political, and economic contexts shaping education policy and contemporary K-12 classrooms.<\/p>\n
This new colleague will be expected to: 1) Teach a science and mathematics pedagogy course to elementary education students out of a regular course load of five courses a year; 2) Supervise student teachers; 3) Advise undergraduates, including teacher certification candidates; and 4) Contribute to shared departmental and College labor.<\/p>\n
Salary and benefits are competitive. While the regular course load is 3-2, tenure-track faculty teach a reduced load (2-2) in the first year. The College offers strong support for teaching and research, including the following resources for pre-tenure faculty: a summer stipend for the first two years, a supplementary research fund, and a semester’s sabbatical at full salary after a successful third-year review.<\/p>\n
