We are seeking applicants to teach Drake’s first-year student success course, Bulldog Foundations. It will be a fun experience this fall implementing the recent curriculum revisions, guided by student input. Applicants must hold a master’s degree or equivalent, and teaching experience is preferred. Learn more and sign-up for a short consultation session.

Bulldog Foundations helps students explore concepts and develop skills that are crucial for the development of meaningful personal lives, professional accomplishments, and responsible global citizenship. Students will explore the elements of an equitable and inclusive community, consider life skills necessary for success, and refine academic strategies. This course helps students transition into the Drake community with ease.

The course will run for the first eleven weeks of the semester and will meet once a week for fifty minutes. Instructors will be given all curriculum, materials, and facilitator guides for the course, and will not need to develop any curriculum on their own.

In addition to assigned class time, chosen instructors will need to attend an all-day training the week of August 1st, a check-in meeting the week of September 19 and a wrap-up meeting during the week of fall 2022 finals.

Instructors will be paid a $1000 stipend for teaching Bulldog Foundations unless this course serves as a part of your full-time teaching load.

To apply, fill out the google form. The application is due Friday, April 1.
