Cal State University (CSU) San Jose
1 Washington Street, San Jose, CA 95192, USA
Department Summary At this point in history as intersecting crises of racial, economic, health, and environmental justice buffet our lives and communities and exacerbate inequalities in educational and other institutions, the San José State University (SJSU) Teacher Education Department (TED) finds itself in a moment of transformational change. In alignment with the SJSU Strategic Plan, Transformation 2030 - hyperlink ; the Lurie College of Education (LCOE) Strategic Plan - hyperlink ; and the TED vision and mission - hyperlink and program learning outcomes - hyperlink , we seek to reimagine PK-12 teacher education by centering the assets of students who are diverse in terms of ethnicity / race, language, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, neurology, creed, and other intersectional characteristics of identity. While centering students’ intersectional identities as assets, we simultaneously seek to partner with other LCOE and SJSU departments and programs, community colleges, PK-12 districts and schools, and community organizations to create anti-racist, culturally sustaining, and emancipatory education structures for students and pathways for educators. We aim to transform the local teaching force so that it better reflects the students we serve. Brief Description of Duties We invite applications for a pool of part-time instructors to teach foundations and / or subject-area methods courses to candidates in the Multiple and / or Single Subject Credential Programs in the Department of Teacher Education. Foundations courses include assessment, educational psychology, health and special education, multilingual learners, and sociology of education. Subject-area methods instructors teach a course focused on K-12 curriculum and instruction in their subject area of expertise, e.g., art, English language arts, mathematics, music, physical education, science, social science, or world languages. Candidates must demonstrate an awareness of and have experience in understanding the needs of a student population of great diversity - in age, cultural background, ethnicity, primary language and academic preparation - through inclusive course materials, teaching strategies and advisement.
