The Department of Teacher Education, Special Education, and Curriculum and Instruction seeks to fill a full-time, non-tenure track faculty position in ELL Education and Bilingualism, starting September 2013. Candidates should hold a doctoral degree in a field relevant to the education of English language learners (ELLs) and/or bilingualism and education, including, but not limited to, second language acquisition, educational linguistics, language and literacy development. Successful candidates should have substantial experience as practicing educators with a minimum of five years K-12 classroom teaching experience, preferably in an urban setting. Candidates should also have excellent teaching and mentoring skills for working with undergraduate and graduate students interested in teacher education and English learners.
