Job Summary

The Departments of Education and French at Colorado College invite applications for a one-year Visiting Instructor position beginning Fall 2025. The position is expected to teach 3 courses in Education and 3 courses in French.

Recognized as a state leader in preparing culturally responsive educators, the Education Department at Colorado College has a focus on social justice and the examination of education as a civic institution. We take seriously Colorado College’s commitment to becoming an anti-racist institution as reflected in our curriculum, our pedagogy, and our values. Among one of the most demographically diverse majors on campus, over 50% of our undergraduate students do not plan to become classroom teachers and instead use their training to work in non-profits, policy, research, alternative education settings, and more. The Department of French offers majors and minors in French as well as a major in Romance Languages. The department sponsors numerous study abroad opportunities.

Colorado College operates under a unique academic model called the Block Plan. Students take one course at a time for three-and-a-half weeks with a four-day break between courses. Faculty teach six of the eight blocks in the academic year with the remaining two designated as non-teaching blocks.

Colorado College actively promotes a dynamic and inclusive environment in which students and employees of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives can learn and work. We are committed to becoming an antiracist institution in all of our policies, practices, and pedagogies (please see https://www.coloradocollege.edu/other/antiracism-commitment/). Applicants should describe ways they can contribute to these goals in their cover letter.
