Instructor, Teacher Education Department

Job Summary :

The University of the Fraser Valley invites applications for a limited term faculty member in its Teacher Education Department (TED) .

Our graduates are distinguished in the teaching profession because of their strong ability to integrate educational theory and knowledge into a reflective teaching practice that is critically minded, pedagogically sensitive, and socially just.

The position is subject to budgetary approval.

This is a position for an educator who enjoys the challenge of working in an innovative program, and whose philosophy about teacher education is consistent with TED’s Mission Statement, Department Values, and the Program Goals for both the MEd and the BEd.

This individual will also share the TED faculty’s commitments to social justice and anti-racism, and to decolonizing and Indigenizing practices.

As such, the successful candidate would have knowledge of the five TED values and commitments and will embed them into their curriculum design and delivery.

The successful applicant will be expected to teach courses in the BEd on the Mission campus, work collaboratively with a variety of faculty and seconded faculty mentors, and be part of the TED admissions and orientation processes.

There are also additional expectations involving service to the university and the local community.
