AY Lecturer Pool - Teaching Credentials

Overview

2025-26 AY Lecturer Pool - Teaching Credentials

DEPARTMENT: Teaching Credentials

POSITION TITLE: Lecturer Pool - Teaching Credentials

POSITION DETAILS:

The Teaching Credentials Branch believes it is critical that educators are prepared within an anti-racist framework and prepared to teach with an understanding of the communities within which they teach. The branch is committed to advancing the campus-wide commitment to antiracism and inclusion. We prepare future elementary, secondary, and special education teachers. As an anchor institution within the diverse Sacramento region, we prepare teachers and leaders to be agents of change, committed to social justice, equity, and inclusion in culturally and linguistically diverse schools and communities.

We seek part-time lecturers to serve as PK-3 ECE Instruction Specialist, Multiple Subject, Single Subject and/or Special Education university supervisors in area PK-12 schools. This work involves traveling to local schools to observe candidate instruction and mentor candidates; evaluating candidate progress towards meeting California Teaching Performance Expectations; and attending monthly meetings with other supervisory and instructional faculty. For fully online programs, virtual observations are allowed.

We also seek part-time lecturers to serve as instructional faculty in our PK-3 and our Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) programs. Duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

Part-time lecturers are instructional faculty 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 our 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.

Rank and Salary

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department.

Most new lecturers are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank. As of July 2024, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are:

Lecturer A: $5,507 - $6,677

Lecturer B: $6,221 - $13,224

Lecturer C: $6,825 - $14,523

Lecturer D: $8,593 - $15,211

The salary ranges indicated are based on a "full-time rate" (15 weighted teaching units [WTUs]). A semester's worth of compensation is made up of six (6) payments of the given amount. To calculate your salary for a semester, the base rate would be pro-rated based on the units worked out of 15 WTUs. If you were a Lecturer A assigned 3 units at the minimum salary, your pay would be structured as follows: $5,507 x 3/15 (3 units out of a possible 15 units total) = $1101.40 x 6 checks = $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.
