Job Description:
Oakton has openings for American Sign Language faculty to teach beginning in the Spring 2010 semester.
Part-time faculty are paid on a basis called lecture hour equivalents (LHE). For most courses, the LHE is the same as a credit hour. For others, the LHE represents the additional work for teaching the class, such as grading papers for Composition classes or teaching a class with a laboratory section (computers, languages, and the sciences); in those cases, the LHE represents a figure higher than the credit hour. All part-time faculty start at the beginning pay rates, regardless of the level and type of experience obtained elsewhere. Those rates are $825/LHE for those without doctorates and $855/LHE for those with doctorates for the 2009-10 year.
Part-time faculty advance one step within the salary schedule with the successful completion of two fall and spring semesters where 3 or more credit hours are taught in each semester.
Requirements:
A Master's degree and State and/or National Certification in the Education of the Deaf or American Sign Language is required.
A degree in Deaf Studies, Sign Language Teaching, Audiology, Interpreting, Communications, Linguistics, or related field, and prior teaching experience in advanced Sign Language courses are preferred.
Additional Information:
Part-time faculty hires and assignments are coordinated by the department chairs. Contact Denis Berkson at 847.635.1870 or dberkson@oakton.edu for more information.
Part-time faculty are hired on a semester-by-semester basis. A reasonable effort is made to assure the assignment of courses to more senior part-time faculty who are fully qualified by virtue of their education, training, work experience as related to current technology and pedagogical techniques, and who have had a history of successful performance at Oakton Community College.
All assignments are conditioned on sufficient enrollment. Once a course starts, the part time faculty member is expected to complete the course.
Application Instructions:
Required documents for a complete application file include an application, cover letter, resume/cv, official transcripts for all degrees earned, and 2 original, signed recommendation letters or college placement/credential file. The recommendation letters may either be original or e-mailed directly from the reference. The transcripts may either be official or pdf copies of official transcripts. Interested applicants must submit their application, cover letter and resume/cv on the Oakton website. Please indicate the position code (PTASL-10) on the cover letter. Official transcripts and original letters of recommendation or placement/credential file should be mailed to: Faculty Search PTASL-10, c/o Department of Human Resources, Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Rd., Des Plaines, IL 60016.
