About The Position
Lecturer positions in the department carry responsibilities in the areas of teaching. Teaching assignments are based upon qualifications of the individual and the needs of the department. The Child Development Department (www.csuchico.edu/chld) is an independent and growing department within the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences (www.csuchico.edu/bss). It serves approximately 215 majors and 170 minors offering curriculum that addresses children from birth to young adulthood, families, and agencies that serve this population. The Bachelor of Arts in Child Development provides current knowledge of theories, research, and opportunities for applied practice through internships. This degree focuses on children's development (i.e., physical, neuro, cognitive, social, and emotional) from prenatal/infancy through emerging adulthood. The diversity of children's experiences within key developmental contexts (e.g., family life, peer relationships, school and community experiences, gender, culture, trauma, resilience) is explored in specialized courses. The acquisition of knowledge, practice, and skills associated with observation, research, and other assessment practices are emphasized. This major provides three supervised internships that enable students to gain valuable work-related experiences within professional settings. Graduate and undergraduate programs boast high-quality research experiences, exceptional faculty mentoring, and civic and global engagement opportunities. The campus motto, "Today Decides Tomorrow," is brought to life by inclusive pedagogy, experiential learning, and co-curricular programming. The Chico Experience prepares students to be critical thinkers, engaged citizens, and inspired stewards of environmental, social, and economic resources. Together, they will become leaders solving the challenges of the 21st century.
