Position description
Potential Security of Employment/ Assistant Teaching Professor with a commitment to advancing bilingual education and preparing K-12
teachers for bilingual classrooms. We are seeking a faculty member who can instruct and supervise preservice teachers in the Teacher
Education Program’s Bilingual Authorization in Spanish Program. The responsibilities include teaching courses in bilingual education and
bilingual teaching methods, working with partners in local school districts to find placements for bilingual preservice teachers, and
supervising preservice teachers in their fieldwork. In addition, this faculty member will ensure the program meets all requirements
necessary to maintain and grow the program, including meeting accreditation requirements, supporting student and staffing needs, fostering
the expansion of program partnerships, and ensuring that the course offerings meet the Teaching Performance Expectations (TPE’s) as outlined
by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The faculty member candidate will also instruct other courses pertaining to bilingual education
in the Teacher Education Program and the Department of Education’s graduate and undergraduate programs as needed, and will have
opportunities to collaborate with colleagues throughout the Department and School of Education to create courses related to bilingual and
multilingual education, and conduct research.
The ideal candidate for this position has experience teaching diverse learners in
Spanish-English multilingual educational contexts and in preparing bilingual teachers. Ideal applicants for this position have a strong
understanding of the historical and current contexts of bilingual education in California, a broad theoretical knowledge of the development
of bilingualism and culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogies, and experience working in TK-12 educational settings. We especially
value candidates who actively center racial, class, linguistic, and cultural diversity in their teaching and service in order to prepare
preservice teachers for teaching in a multilingual society.
The Teacher Education Program (TEP) at UCSB prepares approximately 90
preservice teachers per year to earn a teaching credential in one of the following areas: multiple subjects teaching (MST), education
specialist in extensive support needs (ESN), education specialist in mild to moderate support needs (MMSN), single subject teaching (SST) in
English language arts, history social science, math, science, or Spanish. Preservice teachers from each of these programs who are bilingual
in Spanish can pursue a bilingual authorization through participation in the Bilingual Authorization in Spanish Program (BASP), which
involves coursework and fieldwork in bilingual classrooms. During the pilot year of this program, one-fourth of all students elected to earn
this authorization. We anticipate increasing demand for the authorization, and we look forward to further developing the program to meet the
growing need for bilingual educators in California.
The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the
diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service as appropriate to the position.
