We are committed to providing affordable, quality education with a deep commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. We encourage you to learn more about SFBU by reviewing our strategic plan at ************************************ Position Overview: San Francisco Bay University (SFBU) invites applications for the position of Adjunct Faculty to teach the course How to Design Your Life: A Journey Through Personal Epistemology within the General Education Curriculum. This course combines design thinking methodology with epistemological reflection to help students examine how they know what they know, identify the social, cultural, and personal influences shaping their understanding, and design experiments to improve their experiences in key life domains, such as health, relationships, play, growth, career, and finances. We are seeking educators with experience in both design thinking and reflective pedagogy who can guide students through applied inquiry and iterative design as a means of personal and academic development. This is a part-time, semester-long position physically based in Fremont, CA. The course is delivered in person, so the instructor will be required to teach on-site at the SFBU campus during weekday hours. Course Description: This course empowers you to become the architect of your own life by critically examining the beliefs, values, and assumptions that shape your choices. You will reflect deeply on how your worldview is influenced by factors such as family, culture, education, media, and lived experience. Through guided self-inquiry and practical exercises, you'll clarify your understanding of what success, meaning, and purpose look like in your life. You'll explore eight essential life domains: physical health, mental health, spiritual health, relationships, finances, play, growth, and career. In each domain, you will design and conduct mini experiments to discover what genuinely supports your well-being, growth, and fulfillment. Applying design thinking principles, including empathy, ideation, prototyping, and iteration, you'll develop strategies to navigate life's challenges with creativity, resilience, and intention. The course culminates in the creation of a personalized, balanced, and evolving four-year life plan that integrates your insights across all life domains. Throughout the course, you will strengthen critical thinking and analytical skills, enabling you to thoughtfully engage with diverse perspectives and make informed decisions as you intentionally design your future at SFBU and beyond. Teaching Excellence: Candidates should possess deep subject knowledge in life design, pedagogical expertise, and the ability to engage students actively while adapting to their diverse needs. As we transition away from traditional lecture-based instruction, we seek faculty who understand and appreciate student-centered design and can adopt pedagogical practices stemming from this approach. These practices include active learning strategies, collaborative projects, problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning, flipped classroom models, and the use of formative assessments to inform and adjust teaching. We are looking for faculty with the skills and motivation to create a supportive and dynamic learning environment that emphasizes clear communication, collaboration, inclusivity, and continuous improvement. Faculty should be proficient in facilitating interactive discussions, promoting critical thinking, and guiding students to apply concepts to real-world scenarios. This approach aims to foster deeper understanding, engagement, and long-term retention of material among students. Curriculum Development: Collaborate with colleagues and consultants on the assessment, refinement, and continuous improvement of the general education curriculum, incorporating the latest advancements in technology, ensuring alignment with disciplinary and community/ industry needs and emerging trends, and leveraging best practices to position SFBU students for success throughout their academic and professional careers. Inclusive Education: Implement innovative and inclusive teaching best practices that reflect our core value of providing access and inclusion to a diverse student body.

  • Teaching Professor of General Education (Science, Technology & Society)

    San Francisco Bay University 4.2company rating

    Adjunct professor job in Fremont, CA

    Have you ever wondered why higher education feels stuck? Or thought, what if we could rebuild it from the ground up? Imagine a university where disciplines don't dictate the subjects, where learning is trans disciplinary, open-ended, flexible, and deeply connected to real-world needs. A place where we learn across disciplinary boundaries, work through skills that matter, and turn critical ideas into real action. If you've ever dreamed of tearing up the rulebook, of rethinking education in bold, creative, and disruptive ways, you might belong here. San Francisco Bay University is embarking on a bold experiment in higher education, and we're looking for the people who will make it real. San Francisco Bay University (SFBU), an innovative, nonprofit, WASC-accredited university situated in the heart of Silicon Valley in Fremont, California, seeks a forward-thinking and experienced Professor of General Education (Science, Technology & Society) to deliver courses and provide leadership for our Agility Praxis Pathway (APP) Core Curriculum. SFBU's mission is to offer inclusive, innovative, and inspirational education for lifelong careers, and our vision is to set the standard as a national model of higher education in service of the common good. At SFBU, students come first. We prioritize students' needs by fostering multiple meaningful relationships and personal engagement among students, faculty, mentors, industry leaders, and staff. We are committed to providing affordable, high-quality education with a deep commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. The APP Core Curriculum Model, Agility Praxis Pathways, serves as the trans-disciplinary backbone of our undergraduate academic approach, reflecting our commitment to a new paradigm of higher education. Infused with the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and a commitment to all students at the center of the learning conversation, the APP model is a response to the evolving, multifaceted needs of students, employers, and the broader global challenges at hand. As such, this model is designed to foster agility to not only adaptively navigate but flourish amidst change, honor praxis - bridging the rich traditions of academic inquiry with the imperative of pragmatic creativity, and offer flexible, clear pathways to make progress toward goals and respond to new opportunities. Here's how it unfolds in our academic environment: Think At the onset, the "Think" stage immerses students in a rich curation of texts and multimodal resources, broadening perspectives and sparking curiosity about the subjects at hand. This phase introduces students to a wide range of materials-from guest speaker insights to flipped classroom videos, and diverse reading assignments-designed to stoke vibrant discussions and healthy debate. It emphasizes increasing intellectual friction while decreasing social friction, fostering an environment where visible thinking routines and self-inquiry flourish. This foundational step ensures students are not just passive recipients of information but active participants in their learning journey. Do The "Do" phase emphasizes the deliberate practice of the skills, mindsets, and behaviors pivotal to the course's goals and student learning outcomes. Academic disciplines act as lenses through which students engage with content, allowing them to apply domain-specific skills consistently. It is about learning by doing, where knowledge meets practice in a dynamic interplay. Whether it's through sustained, reflective writing exercises, hands-on experiments, communication protocols, or iterative design processes, this stage is about deep engagement with the material and the cultivation of practical skills. By encouraging students to apply what they learn in real-time, we bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Create The "Create" stage empowers students to synthesize their learning and skills into tangible outputs. Building on their acquired knowledge and practiced abilities, students craft projects, artifacts, written works, and presentations that demonstrate their progress and mastery of course outcomes. This creative application not only serves as evidence of their learning journey but also as a portfolio showcasing evidence of developing skills and their readiness to tackle real-world challenges. Through the APP Model, we commit to preparing students not only for academic success but for a lifetime of intellectual exploration, professional achievement, and creative contribution. This approach embodies our vision of the education paradigm we need - one that is responsive, experiential, and forward-looking. We encourage candidates to learn more about SFBU's Agility Praxis Pathway Core Curriculum by visiting: ************************************************************ Position Summary SFBU invites applications for a Full-Time Professor of General Education (Science, Technology & Society) who can teach across multiple courses within our Agility Praxis Pathway Core Curriculum.
