Part Time Adjunct Faculty - Drawing (Professional and Continuing Education)

The Evergreen State College seeks a faculty member to teach quarter-time in academic year 2025/26, specifically to teach one course in drawing each quarter. The fall and winter quarter courses will be "Drawing: Foundations" and "Drawing: Figure," respectively. The focus of the spring quarter course will be flexible and depend on the interests of the successful candidate as well as curricular needs. The courses will be located within Evergreen's Professional and Continuing Education program and will be scheduled to be taught in the evenings or on weekends. The courses are expected to be taught fully in-person.

Curriculum in the school of Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE) is based on undergraduate certificates and bachelor's degree completion curriculum comprised of 4-credit and 8-credit offerings, and capstone work that may include internships or individual study. Courses and programs are offered online, in-person, or in hybrid formats. All curriculum includes synchronous meetings for at least half of the class instruction time. Synchronous sessions occur in the evenings or on weekends (Pacific Time). Faculty development opportunities are provided to help faculty increase skills in online teaching and curriculum design.

Evergreen uses narrative evaluations in lieu of grades, and faculty are generally responsible for evaluating 25 students/quarter in each class. Faculty support students with informal advising as they reflect on their learning processes and develop their own areas of academic concentration.

Our pedagogy centers on collaborative learning communities. We are interested in helping students develop interdisciplinary approaches to critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and collaboration across the curriculum. Because over 80% of our students come from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning environment where all are welcome, and all can learn from each other.

This is an adjunct faculty position and not eligible for continuing appointment. All requirements for the position must be completed at the time of hire. Salary for all positions is based on experience and degrees (see http://www.evergreen.edu/facultyhiring/salarygrid for more information). We do not offer relocation expenses for our adjunct faculty positions.

A complete list of faculty responsibilities is in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
