Job description

General Statement of Duties

The McKeown School of Education at Salem State University is seeking adjunct professors to supervise pre-practicum and/or practicum teaching candidates remotely. Supervisors are required to meet with students for a pre-observation to discuss their lesson plans, watch videos of the candidate teaching, and provide oral and written feedback to the candidate in post-observation meetings. Supervisors also work with host teachers to support the student-teacher as they develop knowledge and skills across the time in the field, and hold regular, required meetings with the host teacher after each observation. Because most of this work is conducted remotely, the supervisor must use McKeown School’s technology platforms, such as Sibme and Canvas. Training is provided on all technology platforms, observation tools, and forms for licensure documentation. As this work is done remotely, supervisors can hold a full-time teaching job. Bi/multilingual supervisor candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Compensation is based on the number of pre-practicum and/or practicum students supervised in a semester, ideally between 3 and 6 in number.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Supervise remotely using the required platform(s)
• As the University’s representative, lead the supervision process by maintaining regular communication with the field office, host teacher, and student teacher.
• Check Salem State email daily and respond within 24 hours, Monday-Friday.
• Attend all scheduled orientation and training sessions.
• Set up, publish and maintain the University-approved platform for the assigned supervision section.
• Communicate thorough, actionable feedback in writing via CAP online and orally in remote meetings with teacher candidates.
• Assign grades and any other required assessment information using required platforms and input final grade by the due date at end of term.
