The College of Education (CoE), in collaboration with the College of Science and Technology (CST) at Temple University is seeking an adjunct Master Teacher for the TUteach program. TUteach(http://www.temple.edu/cst/tuteach/) is an innovative new undergraduate program for the preparation of secondary math and science teachers based on the highly successful UTeach program developed by the University of Texas at Austin (http://www.uteach-institute.org/). The program is dedicated to recruiting and training math and science majors to become successful high school teachers. As such, the program includes a variety of early and strategic field experiences, beginning in the freshman year; incentives for student participation in early classes; streamlined, content-specific pedagogy coursework; community-building activities and resources; and intense student advising and support.
The adjunct Master Teacher will work closely with current TUteach faculty to teach a section of the introductory course "Step-1: An Introduction to Inquiry-based Teaching," advise and mentor students, and perform other duties as assigned. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. The Step-1 class will be offered in the late afternoon so that qualified in-service high school teachers can be considered for this position.
Job Requirements
Successful candidates will demonstrate significant knowledge of, and school-based experience in secondary science teaching, understanding of local schools and school systems, and capacity to mentor new and aspiring teachers. Prior work in teacher professional development (e.g., as a department chair, coach, facilitator) is preferred. The candidate should be an innovative thinker and collaborative problem solver with a commitment to the preparation of new teachers and the success of TUteach. The Master Teacher will work closely with faculty in both CST and CoE. Candidates should have earned a master's degree or higher.
For more information, please contact TUteach co-directors Dr. Douglas Baird (mailto:dbaird@temple.edu), Dr. James Byrnes (jpbyrnes@temple.edu), or TUteach Master Teacher Dr. Herbert Green (mailto:hebert.green@temple.edu).
