Position Summary
The William James College School Psychology Department is excited to invite applications for Adjunct faculty teaching positions in First- and Second-Year Practicum (Fall 2026 and Spring 2027) and Behavioral Assessment, Intervention, and Consultation (two sections, Spring only) . The courses meet in person. Class schedules vary and may fall between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Most assignments occur during standard daytime hours (approximately 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), with some evening classes. Some flexibility in scheduling may be possible.
Essential Functions
Behavioral Assessment, Intervention, and Consultation (Spring 2027 2 sections). The Adjunct faculty member will provide instruction on major theoretical models and evidence-based strategies for addressing behavioral and emotional challenges in classroom settings, including principles of learning theory, behavior modification, and positive behavioral supports. Teach foundational skills such as identifying and selecting target behaviors, applying techniques to increase or decrease behaviors, implementing contingency contracting, and utilizing group management strategies. Integrate cross-cultural perspectives to support understanding and appropriate intervention planning for diverse student populations. Guide students in problem-solving, prevention, and intervention planning, including the development, implementation, evaluation, and modification of behavior intervention plans using progress-monitoring data. Instruct students in conducting functional behavioral assessments (FBA) and developing a repertoire of strategies tailored to individual and group needs. The syllabus for this course has already been developed.
First and Second Year Practicum (Fall and Spring 1 section each)
Facilitate practicum seminars that integrate coursework with field-based experiences across first- and second-year school psychology placements, supporting students in applying assessment, counseling, and intervention skills in school settings. Guide students in delivering data-driven academic and mental health supports within a multi-tiered framework, and provide supervision on assessment, intervention planning, and case conceptualization. Lead discussions and assignments that deepen understanding of school systems, culture, and professional practice, while offering training in evidence-based interventions (e.g., Primary Project*), standardized and curriculum-based assessments, and foundational counseling skills.
*First-Year Seminar only
