Duties and Responsibilities
The School of Education ( SOE ) at Loyola University Chicago
invites applications for part-time instructors to teach in
the SOE’s Teaching and Learning (T&L) program area during the
2022-2023 academic year and beyond. The T&L program runs
Loyola’s CAEP -accredited teacher education program, TLLSC
(Teaching, Learning and Leading with Schools and
Communities).
Candidates will demonstrate a strong commitment to urban education
and dedication to serving a historically minoritized student
population consistent with Loyola’s commitment to advancing social
justice through transformative education.
Credentials, background, and teaching experiences in the following
areas are typical areas of need within our program:
Elementary education (grades 1-6) with experience literacy
and/or social studies
Preschool (ages 3-5) and early elementary (K-2)
teaching
Middle grades (5-8) and secondary (9-12) education,
including content area instruction in areas such as
mathematics
Culturally responsive and anti-racist pedagogy, along with a
social justice lens on educational psychology, child development,
and educational policy.
Serving culturally and linguistically diverse
populations
Special education (PK-21)
Supervision of internship experiences (we are also seeking
experienced educators who can support our students during their
final one-year internship
• Teaching up to six credit hours courses or modules per
semester . Undergraduate field-based courses are typically
offered during the morning, with university-based courses offered
in the late afternoon or evening. Graduate courses typically take
place in the afternoon and evening. Courses (2-3 credit hours) are
offered in university classrooms, while modules (1-6 credit hours)
are field-based learning experiences which primarily are taught
within partner sites. Enrolled students are pursuing Illinois
teaching licensure in early childhood, elementary, secondary,
and/or special education.
• Supporting our existing partnerships with schools and community
agencies through collaborative on-site work with teachers and
administrators to support field-based teaching and
learning.
• Collaboration with T&L chairs and faculty in
ensuring consistency and quality across sections and semesters.
Part-time faculty receive resources and support from faculty leads,
chairs, and program coordinators in order to become familiar with
our program, syllabi, assignments, and systems/technology.
• Face-to-face instruction. Note that our teacher
education programs are largely face-to-face or hybrid in format
(and not solely online), so PT faculty would ideally be available
to teach on Loyola’s campus and to visit partner sites where
indicated. Field experiences are directly supervised by faculty,
who typically visit school sites with their class.
