The Education Department at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Education to begin in the Fall of 2019. Wheaton College affords students the opportunity to explore interests within a supportive liberal arts environment that cultivates curiosity and activism. The College emphasizes social justice, multicultural competence, and global citizenship. The department seeks a dynamic teacher/scholar with a focus on elementary or early-childhood education and a dedication to the preparation of undergraduate students who pursue both an education licensure major and a liberal arts major. Candidates with backgrounds in special education and math/science education are especially encouraged to apply.

Teaching responsibilities include a special education course, an elementary/early-childhood education math and science methods course, a student-teaching seminar, and practicum supervision. In addition, as co-coordinator of Wheaton's elementary and early-childhood education programs, this faculty member will work with colleagues to advise licensure candidates, maintain relationships with district partners, cultivate opportunities for fieldwork, and contribute to departmental compliance with state regulations.

Wheaton supports faculty scholarship through research funds, sabbaticals (including a pre-tenure leave), and a 2:3 teaching load (2:2 during the first year). Wheaton also offers a comprehensive faculty mentoring program and invests in faculty across their career span.

Minimum Qualifications:
A doctorate in Education or related field by August 2019.

Three years of PreK - grade 6 teaching experience.

Ability to supervise student-teachers.

Demonstrated potential for research and scholarly activity.

For full consideration, the following are to be submitted via Wheaton's online application system: letter of application, curriculum vitae, and a sample one-page plan for teaching an eighty-minute session of any of the courses listed above.

Wheaton strives to be a liberal arts community that values diverse perspectives and identities. Candidates should describe in their letter of application how their teaching and scholarship might support the College's commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The application form will also request contact information for three references (at least one of whom should address teaching effectiveness). Please note that references will be contacted via email once an application has been submitted, and asked to upload letters of recommendation directly to the online application system.
