Teaching Instructor

The Science and Mathematics Education (SMED) program prepares students to be leaders in both formal and informal education settings. The mathematics education faculty participates in partnerships with schools in Oklahoma, collaboratively administers the Randall and Carol White Reading and Math Center (RMC) with literacy education faculty, and participates in research grants and collaborations through the Center for Research on STEM Teaching and Learning (CRSTL), which offers a unique platform for research opportunities. Mathematics Education faculty teach both undergraduate mathematics education courses within the elementary education and OSUTeach (secondary) programs, both of which are accredited by the National Council of Accreditation of Teacher of Education (NCATE). In addition to offering undergraduate coursework, the program offers graduate courses in support of the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. This instructor will join a group of science and mathematics education faculty who are active as researchers, instructors, and grant writers, and who are significantly involved in a variety of national organizations.

The new instructor should demonstrate an interest in the university's land grant mission, and a desire to make a positive impact on the community through service, extension, and outreach efforts. The faculty should build positive relationships with the K-12 school community and the Oklahoma Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
