Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

Eastern Connecticut State University is looking for a graduate student who has completed their master’s degree to teach Psychology of Childhood (PSY 206), a three-credit course in Spring 2025. This course will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30pm-6:45pm.

This course is part of Eastern’s new liberal arts core and has a designated learning outcome of “communication”. How this is achieved via assignments within the course is up to the individual faculty member, and it does not necessarily have to be classic research papers. From the ELAC website (https://www.easternct.edu/elac/understand-the-curriculum.html): “Communication requires students to recognize and utilize the most appropriate means to address specific audiences in relevant contexts or genres in order to effectively inform or persuade.” There is an expectation that instructors will utilize one high-impact practice in their course – examples of options include capstone courses and projects, collaborative assignments and projects, common intellectual experiences, diversity/global learning, ePortfolios, first-year seminars and experiences, internships, learning communities, service learning, community-based learning, undergraduate research, or writing-intensive courses. (The full-time faculty member who teaches this course utilizes collaborative assignments and projects, focused on communication and critical thinking.
