Position Information Position Title Adjunct Faculty for the Evergreen Prison Education Program Job Summary The Evergreen State College invites applications for a part-time faculty position for the Evergreen Prison Education Program (EPEP) to teach in-person classes held in Washington State correctional facilities. The current location for EPEP's BA program is Stafford Creek Corrections Center (SCCC) in Aberdeen, WA. The Evergreen State College seeks one or more part-time faculty members with college-level teaching experience in interdisciplinary liberal arts and sciences who will excel at teaching incarcerated students pursuing their Bachelor of Arts degree from The Evergreen State College. The successful candidate(s) for this position will teach at the undergraduate level in one or more WA State correctional facilities in coordination with other EPEP faculty and in accordance with Evergreen's 5 Foci: interdisciplinary study, collaborative learning, learning across significant differences, personal engagement, and linking theory with practical applications. The Evergreen State College organizes the majority of its curriculum into interdisciplinary, team-taught coordinated studies programs centered on particular themes, and organizes its faculty into interdisciplinary planning units instead of traditional disciplinary departments. Applicants are invited to address (in their letter of application) their visions of innovative approaches to teaching across disciplines, while also describing their areas of disciplinary expertise. We seek innovative educators with experience teaching in any of the following subjects: Math, Science, Sociology, Anthropology, History, Psychology, Political Science, Indigenous Studies, Technology Studies, Environmental Studies, Game Design, Spanish Language, Creative Writing, or other related subject areas. The ideal candidate for this position will be capable and confident in teaching on their own in the facility while also coordinating with other faculty around shared themes, approaches, and methodologies. This position works with the Evergreen Liberation Education Network (ELEN) Co-Director of Curriculum in developing innovative strategies to inaugurate the growth, well-being, and integrity of EPEP's degree program, and supports the ELEN network in embodying our mission, vision, and values. This work includes exposure to potentially difficult information, people struggling with health and other life circumstances, and sometimes challenging work environments. We aim to support faculty in processing difficult aspects of the work in healthy and productive ways. The Evergreen State College provides a Bachelor of Arts program to incarcerated individuals in coordination with the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC). Prior to hiring, candidates must successfully pass DOC security clearance; information from these checks will not necessarily preclude employment. EPEP faculty must complete required Department of Corrections trainings related to working in prison, in addition to other training required of all faculty. The successful candidate must be able to adapt teaching methods and assignments to fit the prison education context, where, as an example, internet access is unavailable and all required course material needs prior approval from DOC. Additionally, faculty must be willing to follow DOC policy for communicating with students between class meeting times. The College reserves the right to extend searches or not offer positions advertised. As a condition of employment, persons hired must provide proof of identity and employment eligibility, including authorization to work in the United States, within three (3) days of beginning work.
