Students who enroll in this course are working as Peer Leaders who foster collaborative and active learning environments for undergraduates in a variety of classes. To model this educational setting, the Pedagogy of Peer-Led Learning course is run in a flipped classroom model with class time focused on discussions and activities rather than direct instruction. If you feel that active learning is an effective learning environment, are passionate about peer instruction, have a graduate degree and experience teaching at the college level, please consider applying to join our team! A degree in education and experience teaching in an active learning setting is strongly preferred. A background in a STEM field (such as computer science, engineering, mathematics) is preferred. This course is structured in a hybrid format with an asynchronous component and an 80-minute in-person meeting once a week. Scheduling is somewhat flexible, and we can work around full-time employment schedules in most cases. Instructors will be paid as lecturers or co-adjuncts at the standard rate for a 3-credit course. This course introduces Peer Leaders to pedagogy and learning theory; the current syllabus is posted here: https://learningcenters.rutgers.edu/student-employment-training/peer-leader-resources#tab=panel-2. This is a multi-section coordinated course in which instructors teach from a standard syllabus and are required to meet for 1 hour each week to discuss the course progress and lesson plans. Grading responsibilities are shared across all sections to ensure consistency. There will be one planning retreat with the co-coordinators and course instructors to prepare for the spring semester. Please provide your resume, cover letter, and teaching philosophy statement in your application.
