Woodring College and the Special Education and Leadership Department support Western's mission, which states that together with our students, staff, and faculty, we are committed to making a positive impact in the state and the world with a shared focus on academic excellence and inclusive achievement. We encourage applications from women, people of color, people with disabilities, veterans, and other candidates from underrepresented backgrounds and with diverse experiences interested in this opportunity.
The Department is currently seeking exceptionally qualified persons interested in temporary, non-tenure track teaching positions. The positions are usually part-time, with occasional opportunities for full-time appointments. Positions may become available at any time and are typically filled on a quarterly course-by-course basis.
The department, college and University value teaching, and we expect you to be an excellent teacher; to be current in y our discipline; to engage students actively in their own learning including discussion, writing, and analysis; and to set high standards regarding course content. You are expected to provide students with feedback on their coursework and examinations, and to be available to students through regularly scheduled office hours in keeping with department policy. You must have your students evaluate your course(s) using the standard University evaluation forms, or others approved by the provost, and you must make those evaluations available to the department chairs and faculty for annual review.
You will be asked to provide contact information of three references. Verification of highest degree is also required (unofficial transcript is acceptable and may be scanned for electronic application and email purposes).
