Instructional Faculty – Part-time Temporary/Lecturer Pool

The Special Education & Counseling Division in the College of Education at Cal State LA, is seeking applications for a pool of part‑time faculty lecturers with positions available as determined by need during the  academic year. Positions will be filled as needed for each academic semester.

Part‑time faculty lecturers are hired with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure‑track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with existing faculty. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made.

Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance.
Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester so some faculty lecturers may need to be available on very short notice.

Supervision observations are conducted during K-12 school hours. Must be able to use electronic observation forms, attend regularly scheduled seminars and an initial training on fieldwork supervision. Supervisors must be qualified in the credential area through either training, credential/license, or experience teaching in the public schools.

Demonstrated experience and commitment to student‑centered learning and teaching. Demonstrated proficiency in written and oral use of the English language is required.
