The ideal candidate for this position has a collaborative nature, is a problem-solver and strong advocate for public schools, and a highly-competent instructor. This position involves teaching course curricula that consists of individuation, collaboration, and opportunities to learn the complexities of education across the spectrum of PreK-12 school settings.

At least one cumulative year of experience linking research and practice in schools and youth-serving organizations; knowledge of current K-12 practices and policies; knowledge of multicultural education for social justice and transformative frameworks in education; collaborative work linking a university and its local education community; experience working in racially and socially diverse educational settings, experience working with racially and socially diverse students and families; and the potential for scholarly work and publications in teacher education.

Salary: The level of appointment will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salary will be based on University of California pay scales.
