Adjunct Instructor - Creating Productive Classroom Communities
The MA Program in Educational Transformation at Georgetown University is looking for an adjunct instructor to teach a 3-credit graduate level course, Creating Productive Classroom Communities, in our Fall semester. Serving teacher candidates working full-time in schools, in this course candidates examine their worldviews, discipline/punishment principles and practices of the current schooling system, and the role of culturally relevant and problem-posing pedagogies to establish classroom communities that facilitate and accelerate student learning through current research and effective practices on motivation, engagement, and behavior management.

The MA Program in Educational Transformation (https://edtransform.georgetown.edu/) is a 1-year, graduate level program designed to prepare professionals to advance equity in K-12 education across multiple domains: race, class, linguistic diversity, and among students with disabilities. We take a critical stance towards educational policies and practices and seek to develop among our students the skills to transform educational settings and contexts to promote equity. We take an explicitly anti-racist position in our program and an asset-based approach in our pedagogy; we expect all faculty to uphold and model those commitments in their teaching.

The course runs from August 28, 2024-December 21, 2024, meeting on Wednesdays, 5:00pm-7:30pm. The expected pay for this course is $10,000. If you are interested in applying please email your CV, any college-level teaching evaluations, and the names of three references to Prof. Sabrina Wesley-Nero, the assistant program director, at edtransform@georgetown.edu.
