Complete job description and application available online at: https://elcamino.igreentree.com/css_academic

The El Camino Community College District is now accepting applications for anticipated part-time faculty positions in Human Development starting fall 2025.

Human Development data-driven curriculum and student-centered instruction support the four pillars of Guided Pathways, encouraging students to clarify the path, enter the path, stay on the path, and ensure learning. Students strengthen success-oriented skills (e.g., active learning strategies, effective time management, motivation, emotional intelligence, self-awareness); build support networks in class, on campus, and in the community; explore academic programs and careers; and develop comprehensive educational and career plans.

Human Development courses provide academically rigorous opportunities for students to master the strategies, skills, understanding, and attitudes that foster effective and self-directed learning in college and beyond. Courses require educators with specialized backgrounds in interdisciplinary, theoretical curriculum and pedagogical expertise for student engagement. Teaching assignments may include credit or noncredit courses in career theory and planning, educational planning, college success strategies, and workplace skills. The department collaborates with numerous programs and academic departments on campus to offer designated, contextualized, and linked classes that increase success and retention among target populations.

Human Development courses meet requirements for associate degree (general education) and for transfer to universities, including University of California and the California State University. The department values innovation and has recently developed several noncredit courses and two related certificates, which support students in developing college and career readiness skills. Courses are offered for dual enrollment in local high schools and the course outlines of record, instructional materials, and student learning outcomes are identical to those offered at the college. All instructors in the department support planning and the assessment of student learning.

Selected candidates will be invited for an interview, which will include a teaching demonstration on an assigned topic.

Instructors may be offered positions teaching credit or noncredit courses in person at the El Camino College campus, online, or for dual enrollment in a local high school.
