Adjunct Faculty Pool in Graduate Literacy Education

Shenandoah University’s Division of Education and Leadership invites applications for an adjunct faculty pool to teach in its online graduate Literacy Education programs. Offerings include the Master of Science in Literacy Education with concentrations in Reading, Writing, and Early Literacy, as well as the Reading Licensure Professional Studies Certificate.

These programs support educators in deepening their literacy knowledge and applying research to instruction, assessment, and professional practice. We seek faculty who bring relevant expertise, experience working with educators, and a commitment to engaging graduate-level online instruction.

Inclusion in the pool does not guarantee a teaching assignment. Appointments are made on a course-by-course basis as programmatic needs arise.

2,100 to 4,000 per course

Applicants may be considered for one or more instructional areas:

• Early literacy development, assessment, and instruction
• Reading instruction, assessment, and intervention
• Writing instruction and writing workshop
• Children’s literature
• Family literacy and home, school, and community partnerships
• Literacy field experiences and practica

Applicants should identify the areas that align with their education and professional experience.

• Courses are offered in an accelerated, eight-week, online asynchronous format throughout the year. Faculty maintain an active instructional presence, facilitate meaningful interaction, and provide timely, substantive feedback that helps students connect course content to professional practice.

Assignments involving field experiences, practica, or the Children’s Literature Conference may include additional supervision, coordination, or attendance requirements.
