Adjunct Faculty Pool in Graduate Literacy Education
About The Position
Shenandoah University’s Division of Education and Leadership invites applications for an adjunct faculty pool to teach in its online graduate Literacy Education programs. The programs include the Master of Science in Literacy Education, with concentrations in Reading, Writing, and Early Literacy, and the Reading Licensure Professional Studies Certificate. They support educators in deepening their literacy knowledge and applying research to instruction, assessment, and professional practice. The university seeks faculty with relevant expertise, experience working with educators, and a commitment to engaging graduate-level online instruction. Inclusion in the pool does not guarantee a teaching assignment; appointments are made on a course-by-course basis as programmatic needs arise. Courses are offered in an accelerated, eight-week, online asynchronous format throughout the year. Faculty maintain an active instructional presence, facilitate meaningful interaction, and provide timely, substantive feedback that helps students connect course content to professional practice. Assignments involving field experiences, practica, or the Children’s Literature Conference may include additional supervision, coordination, or attendance requirements.
