2 weeks ago

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Community College of Philadelphia Full time
Job Title: Restorative Justice, Adjunct Faculty

The Department of Social Science at the Community College of Philadelphia invites applications for a part-time position for the academic year. This faculty member will teach courses for the Restorative Justice Proficiency Certificate program at Community College of Philadelphia. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in partnership with the National Center on Restorative Justice. The goal is to expand the program to other community colleges, historically Black colleges and universities, tribal colleges, and prison education programs. The employee will contribute to the ongoing development of coursework that supports this broader educational mission.

About the Program

The Community College of Philadelphia's Proficiency Certificate program in Restorative Justice provides students with both the philosophical and practical knowledge to facilitate and advocate for restorative processes in community, education, human resources, legal, and justice settings. This cohort program grounds students in the expanding global social movement toward restorative justice approaches that empower impacted people to take accountability for harm and healing. This approach contrasts with punitive systems that do justice to or for responsible and harmed parties. The program connects students as a community of learners and provides research, volunteer, experiential learning, and mentorship opportunities within restorative justice initiatives in Philadelphia.

About the College

Community College of Philadelphia is an open-admission, predominantly Black institution and a minority-serving institution which provides access to higher education for all who may benefit. CCP's Strategic Plan affirms the College's long-standing commitment to quality, access, affordability and upward mobility while including an emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion. This plan firmly plants student success at the center of all efforts, establishing the means for each student to achieve their goals.

Responsibilities
  • Teach courses in the Restorative Justice Proficiency Certificate program at Community College of Philadelphia.
  • Collaborate with the project director and adhere to blueprint courses provided for the program in order to contribute to the ongoing development of restorative justice coursework for expansion to other institutions (community colleges, HBCUs, tribal colleges, and prison education programs).
  • Engage with local restorative justice initiatives and practitioners to enhance learning experiences.
  • Commit to teaching in-person courses at one or more of the college's campuses.
  • Commitment to the College's Mission: Demonstrate a sense of connection and responsibility for helping the College to achieve success through a commitment to its mission, vision, and values.
  • Collaboration: Communicate effectively, share vision, focus on people, initiate positive change, value differences and foster collaboration. Work with and inspire others to achieve college, department, and individual success.
  • Respect for Diversity: Establish an inclusive environment in the classroom. Demonstrate an understanding of, and sensitivity to, the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds of the College's faculty, staff and students.
  • Assessment: Full participation in the assessment of student learning and student learning outcomes at the course, program, and institution levels.
  • Student Success: Strive for excellence in teaching, applying best practices in field of discipline, and modeling behaviors that encourage student success and retention. Utilize innovative teaching strategies and technologies for online learning and other technology tools to meet the learning needs of a diverse student population.
  • Leadership and Development: Commitment to professional learning and growth, student mentoring, and service to the profession. Remain current in the use of technology, developments within the field of discipline, and developments related to teaching and student success.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or at least 10 years of experience facilitating the full range of restorative justice processes in lieu of a degree.
  • Extensive experience facilitating the full range of restorative processes (community-building, harm response, and reintegration circles and conferences) in community, education, and/or justice settings.
  • Training and/or academic coursework in restorative justice with strong knowledge of recent scholarship and professional publications in the field.
  • Established connections with local restorative justice initiatives and practitioners.
  • Willingness and availability to teach in-person courses at any one of the college's campuses.
