Special Education - Non-Tenure Track Faculty Vacancy Pool
About the Position:The Special Education Department maintains a vacancy pool of qualified persons interested in temporary, full and part-time teaching positions. In anticipation of possible openings throughout the academic year and summer sessions, applications are accepted continuously for temporary non-tenure track teaching positions on a part-time basis with occasional opportunities for temporary, full-time appointments. Positions may become available at any time and are typically filled on a quarterly basis.
About the Department:There are two definitions of special education. One is the education of students with disabilities. The other is the application of exceptional teaching. We in the Special Education program at Western Washington University believe very strongly in the second definition. We think that it is our mission to prepare exceptional teachers and, while students who have disabilities often require the services of such teachers, we also believe that there are many other students who can benefit from high-quality instruction. We also think that there is much satisfaction to be gained from the acquisition of the highest levels of teaching skill and that the teachers trained in our program benefit professionally and personally from the acquisition of these skills. That is why the word "special" in our title is a source of pride to us and to our graduates.
