Job Summary | The Evergreen State College seeks full-time adjunct faculty members for the 24-25 academic year with broad training and experience in linguistically and culturally responsive early childhood education who is interested in teaching in a collaborative, liberal arts context using a student-centered approach. Preference will be given to candidates who have experience working with students from underserved populations, and whose teaching emphasizes applied, critical, interdisciplinary, and social justice-oriented approaches to early childhood education. The successful candidate will collaboratively teach a 16-credit early childhood education program at The Evergreen State College-Tacoma campus undergraduate program. |
Job Expectations | Most faculty will teach in full-time, team-taught, 16-credit programs connected by a particular theme or line of inquiry. Faculty are generally responsible for evaluating 25 students/quarter, though their programs may include up to 50-75 students, depending on the size of their teaching team. This arrangement allows for in-depth, interdisciplinary and experiential learning, and the building of strong learning communities. Faculty are also responsible for advising students as they reflect on their learning process, develop a pathway of study, and formulate their own areas of concentration. Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping students develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaborative work. Because over 80% of our students come from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning environment where all are welcome and all can learn from each other. A complete list of faculty responsibilities can be found in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. |
