The Faculty of Education at the University of Prince Edward Island has an opening for sessional instructors to teach the following courses in fall 2019.

ED-6150-15  EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP

In this course, students examine the field of educational leadership. Educational leadership extends beyond the role of the school administrator and focuses upon the development of teachers as leaders who impact on creating effective educational environments. Students research aspects of leadership which impact on schools, and explore models of effective leadership through case studies and simulation.

This is a three semester-hour course offered on campus to students in the MEd Focus on Global Perspectives cohort from September 4 to December 18, on Mondays from 1:30pm to 4:20pm.

ED-6270-10  GLOBAL EDUCATION

In this course, students examine the theory and practice of global education as it has developed in Canada and elsewhere. Other curriculum innovations that have contributed to global education (e.g., development education, environmental education, human rights education, peace education) are also examined. Interactive and participatory learning methodologies are used to encourage reflection on the teaching of contemporary social and global issues in a variety of educational contexts.

This is a three semester-hour course offered on campus to students in the MEd Focus on Global Perspectives cohort from September 4 to December 18, on Wednesdays from 8:30am to 11:20am.

Qualifications:

Ideal candidates will have a Masters of Education degree.  Successful candidates will normally have school-based experience in a Canadian public K-12 system.  For applicants without school-based experience, teaching in other contexts relevant and appropriate to the position will be considered.

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.
