POSITION TITLE: Lecturer Pool – Doctorate in Educational Leadership

POSITION DETAILS:

The Doctorate in Educational Leadership Program is designed for working professionals and produces exemplary educational leaders for schools, community colleges, general education environments and community organizations. The program develops anti-racist educational leaders who are reflective, asset-driven, research-informed, and who address intersecting injustices.

Duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

Part-time lecturers are instructional faculty with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure-track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with our existing faculty. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester.
