University, Department of Educational Studies
The Department of Educational Studies at Colgate University invites
applications for a full- time Director of the Teacher Preparation
Program that will hold the rank of Senior Lecturer. The Director is
responsible for managing the Teacher Preparation Program as well as
offering foundations courses in both the program and the department.
All our faculty are committed to providing a breadth of course
offerings to students interested in studying education broadly,
including students who are interested in gaining a critical
understanding of larger educational phenomena and students planning a
career in teaching. The ideal candidate will have a strong
interdisciplinary background in Foundations of Education. The Director
will teach a total of three courses per academic year – 1) Seminar on
Curriculum and Instruction in Math/Science (Methods), 2) Supervision
of Secondary Student Teachers, and 3) Introduction to Foundations of
Education course and/or area of specialty. The Director will have
access to Faculty Development Grants, conference travel funding, and
the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Research to improve on the
curriculum, pedagogy and possible research in these courses.
The Director will manage the Teacher Preparation Program (TPP) and
work closely with the Chair of the Department of Educational Studies.
This will entail working directly with our TPP students at both the
Undergraduate and MAT levels and connecting with New York State
Department of Education (NYSED), our accreditors TEAC/CAEP, developing
relationships with the local schools, working with the Department of
Educational Studies faculty, and developing relationships with chairs
and faculty in the departments of Math, Science, Sociology and
Anthropology, and History.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D./Ed.D that is expected prior to or shortly
thereafter the time of hire, and possess teacher certification at the
secondary level in Math or Science. We are interested in candidates
with a history of successful and relevant teaching experience at the
secondary level. Candidates should note previous leadership experience
in Teacher Education programs at the university level and familiarity
with the accreditation process, edTPA, state requirements for TPPs,
and the TEACH website. We will recognize administrative experience at
the K-12, university level, or state department of education. Last, we
are seeking candidates that have leadership experience in developing
constructive relationships with K-12 teachers, principals, community
members, families, and students. Experience in identified high needs
schools (urban or rural) is also preferred.
Colgate is a highly-selective liberal arts university of 2800 students
situated in central New York. Further information about the

this statement, we would like to see evidence of carrying out this
approach in their teaching, scholarship, and/or service to the
community. Colgate University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative
Action Employer; women and candidates from historically
underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
A letter of application that addresses the requirements outlined
above, unofficial graduate school transcripts, current vita, brief
