Description
The UC San Diego Extension Arts, Humanities, Languages and Digital Arts Department seeks part-time language instructors to teach continuing education classes in our classroom locations on the UC San Diego campus. Please review our courses at extension.ucsd.edu to see which languages we are currently teaching.
SPECIFIC DUTIES
1. Teach in an engaging and stimulating way at the level appropriate to the group, so as to maximize adult student participation and learning.
2. Assess student characteristics, needs, interests, and learning styles, and develop course materials and activities in order to maximize the effectiveness of instruction.
3. Adapt lessons to include information and topics which are current and relevant to students.
4. Assign out of class and homework activities regularly; provide helpful feedback in a timely manner.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
1. Bachelor's degree and at least two years of experience teaching language to adults.
2. Native fluency in the target language and English.
3. Preferred qualifications: a master's degree in foreign languages, or a related field, and five or more years of classroom language teaching experience to adults.
4. Highly effective interpersonal skills to engage and inspire students.
Note: These are positions to teach classroom-based courses, but we are also interested to see applicants with online teaching experience and knowledge of the Blackboard learning management system.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
As an academic department within UC San Diego, all Extension Program instructors and courses must be formally approved according to the regulations of the Academic Senate of the University of California. Eligibility to teach a course is contingent upon this formal academic approval. Once approved, teaching assignments are “by agreement”. The instructor’s Letter of Agreement outlines the deliverables for the course, the course schedule, and compensation terms, and is subject to department policies and procedures. UC San Diego Extension makes no commitment to hire an instructor until it has sent and received a signed instructor Letter of Agreement. Should the course section an instructor plans to teach be cancelled for any reason, the instructor agreement, including rights to compensation for future section meetings, is voided. Remuneration is for classroom hours only and does not include time spent for course preparation or other events.
UC San Diego is an Equal Opportunity Employer that values a diverse workforce.
