Adjunct Positions

This course was designed to promote development of skills and strategies for integrating technology tools in the classroom. Excellent knowledge of educational technology is essential for teaching this course.
Teach Graduate Courses
Qualifications to teach graduate courses include an Ed.D. or Ph.D. in Educational Technology or related field, and experience teaching online and/or designing online curriculum. Evidence of successful teaching (e.g., course evaluations) is required. The pay range depends on level of experience.
If you are interested in teaching for the Department of Educational Technology, you should submit a letter of application and vita to edtech@boisestate.edu. Within the letter of application, list the classes you are qualified to teach along with the specific experiences and/or education supporting why you are qualified to teach each course. Also, include in your letter of application a list of at least three references. Examples of teaching materials you have created and recent course evaluations may also be submitted.
If there is an opening and you are considered qualified to teach the course, the adjunct coordinator will request an interview and a copy of your transcripts. After the interview and internal review of application materials you may be offered an adjunct position and be expected to complete the required paperwork as soon as possible. Please note that hiring is contingent on several factors, including a background check, confirmation of degree, references, fit, and department needs.
The adjunct coordinator assists all adjunct faculty throughout the hiring and orientation process as well as during the academic semester. Any questions about instruction and instructional materials, Boise State University and Department of Educational Technology policies, and student concerns should be directed to the adjunct coordinator.
