The Faculty of Education at the University of Prince Edward Island has openings for sessional instructors to teach the following course in the Fall 2018 session.

ED-6250-86 CURRICULUM: LEADERSHIP IN LEARNING

In this course, students examine research into recent curriculum developments which are based on principles of integration, resource-based learning, and holistic learning, and which require the use of alternative assessment approaches. In addition, the impact of these developments on teachers' instructional strategies and students' learning are investigated. The focus is on the integration of knowledge about curriculum design and teaching in order to develop leadership skills for curriculum change.

This is a three semester-hour course offered on campus on to students in our MEd Focus on Global Perspectives cohort from September 5 to November 30, on Wednesdays from 8:30am to 11:20am.

Qualifications:

A graduate degree in education, a Bachelor of Education degree, and a successful record of school teaching in the K-12 context are required. For applicants without school-based experience in a Canadian public K-12 system, teaching in other contexts relevant and appropriate to the position will be considered. Where courses are offered on-line using multi-media technologies, applicants will normally be able to demonstrate successful on-line teaching experience. Candidates who do not have previous online teaching experience must be open to and willing to do extra training for this delivery model, and without additional compensation.

In addition, candidates applying to teach graduate courses will normally have established expertise, and successful leadership and/or teaching experience in a context related to the foci of the cohort.

In all instances, qualified applicants on the UPEI Sessional Roster of the Faculty of Education will be given priority. 

THE OFFERING OF THESE COURSES IS CONDITIONAL PENDING FINAL ENROLMENT NUMBERS.  ALL SESSIONAL COURSES ARE SUBJECT TO THE FINAL BUDGETARY AND ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL.
