About the Brandeis University Education Program

The Brandeis Education Program engages in the practical application of our scholarly work. Our approach to teaching and learning is driven by four pursuits: Teaching for Social Justice, Teaching as Inquiry, Teaching ALL Learners, and Teaching for Understanding. At Brandeis, â˜teaching for social justiceâ™ isnâ™t just a slogan or lofty ideal; itâ™s about teachersâ™ everyday interactions with students and their daily work in schools. Whether in the university or in pk-12 schools, we focus on the students - who they are, what they bring, and how they think.

There is some flexibility to meet twice per week instead. This appointment is to a position that is in a collective bargaining unit represented by SEIU Local 509.
