bachelor’s degree curriculum and stackable certificates that combine theory with practice to help students achieve academic goals, advance
their careers, and create a better world.
JOB EXPECTATIONS:
Curriculum in the school of Professional and Continuing
Education (PaCE) is based on undergraduate certificates and bachelor’s degree completion curriculum comprised of 4-credit and 8-credit
offerings, and capstone work that may include internships or individual study. Courses and programs are offered online, in-person, or in
hybrid formats. All curriculum includes synchronous meetings for at least half of the class instruction time. Synchronous sessions occur in
the evenings or on weekends (Pacific Time). Faculty development opportunities are provided to help faculty increase skills in online
teaching and curriculum design.
Evergreen uses narrative evaluations in lieu of grades, and faculty are generally responsible for
evaluating 25 students/quarter in each class. Faculty support students with informal advising as they reflect on their learning processes
and develop their own areas of academic concentration.
Our pedagogy centers on collaborative learning communities. We are
interested in helping students develop interdisciplinary approaches to critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and collaboration
across the curriculum. Because over 80% of our students come from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in
approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning
environment where all are welcome, and all can learn from each other.
This is an adjunct faculty position and not eligible
for continuing appointment. All requirements for the position must be completed at the time of hire. Salary for all positions is based on
experience and degrees (see Salary

positions.
