Temporary Faculty Pool – Lecturer Part-Time

CalStateTEACH Teacher Preparation Program 

CalStateTEACH is Multiple Subject Teacher Preparation Program with asynchronous online academic work and site-based clinical experiences. Our mission is to empower and equip teacher candidates to support diverse learners for California's future. We have a complex mobile learning initiative dedicated to preparing tomorrow’s teachers, particularly in rural, remote and urban schools.

We are searching for experienced teacher leaders or administrators who are committed to preparing educators to cultivate learning and ensure equity for all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, language, immigration status, socio-economics, ability status, sexual identity, gender, gender identity or expression. CalStateTEACH faculty are open to change and ready to develop 21st century skills and knowledge. We expect faculty to be grounded in educational technology and have experience in the use of an array of software. We require that faculty have a depth of experience in clinical supervision and understand the nature of instructional rounds.

Duties of the Position:

Each faculty member is assigned to support a group of multiple subject candidates throughout the course of their credential program. The faculty member works with candidates through a CalStateTEACH Regional Center, reporting to the Regional Director. Specific duties and responsibilities fall in the following three areas:

1. Teaching/Advising

Interview candidates for program admission; advise candidates; develop and support a cohort as a learning community; guide candidates’ online learning through implementation of the CalStateTEACH curriculum; support candidates as they learn, practice and reflect on the Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs); provide helpful feedback regarding their progress toward meeting the TPEs; provide formative and summative assessment of classroom performance and required written work, including well-designed formative assessments that resemble the pedagogical assessment tasks in the embedded Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA); make field placements to meet credential requirements and program regulations; supervise site-based classroom instruction; serve as liaison to school-site personnel; and participate in and assure the selection and support of site-based mentor teachers. Responsibilities may also include supporting candidates who need CSET preparation, participating in the planning and delivery of regional seminars, and facilitating cohort meetings during Saturday seminars.

2. Program and Faculty Development

Attend all regular regional faculty meetings and CalStateTEACH statewide faculty meetings; serve on regional and statewide committee(s); contribute to the development and revision of curriculum to ensure program quality; achieve and maintain knowledge of CalTPA Tasks; become expert in the CalStateTEACH curriculum, delivery format, policies and procedures and online instruction; stay abreast of developing technologies employed in the CalStateTEACH and develop skills to use them; and become qualified to administer the required program interview.

3. Other Related Activities

Contact potential candidates; participate in recruitment/outreach activities, including job fairs and professional conferences; participate in local meetings, county offices and professional educational consortiums; and collaborate with local school districts in determining appropriate clinical placements.

Rank and Position:

Selected candidates are hired as lecturers by the CSU campus affiliated with the Regional Center and are placed, according to education and experience, on the CSU faculty salary schedule.

Salary Range - Commensurate with experience within ranks established by the CSU Salary Schedule (Class Code = 2458 for Academic Year Lecturers).

The salary range for Temporary Faculty with a Master's degree is $5,507-6,677 per a month when teaching full time (15 WTUs). Starting salaries are usually at or near the minimum of the range. Actual monthly salary will be adjusted based on the number of WTUs assigned per an academic term.

Instructor Responsibility: Temporary faculty members are responsible for adherence to and implementation of university and system-wide policies as directed per Academic Policy Manual 306, paragraph 2. Instructors are responsible for the preparation, delivery, conducting, proctoring, and grading (as appropriate) lectures, office hours, homework assignments, quizzes, class projects, and midterm and final exams. All classes must be offered and meet as scheduled throughout the entire semester, in the mode assigned and listed in the schedule of classes (i.e. asynchronous, synchronous, in-person, or hybrid).

Conditional Appointment

Please be advised that an appointment is contingent upon budget and enrollment considerations and subject to order of assignment provisions in the collective bargaining agreement between California State University and California Faculty Association. These provisions state the “Order of Work,” or the order in which available courses must be assigned to faculty, starting with tenure line faculty and ending with new lecturer appointees.

Appointees will be required to demonstrate eligibility to work in the United States. California State University, Fresno does not sponsor Temporary Faculty for work visas.
