What you’ll do
The Faculty of Education, Health and Human Development at Capilano University invites applications for a regular limited term (RLT) faculty appointment in the Department of Early Childhood Care and Education. The full-time appointment is a maternity leave position, September 1, 2024 through to August 31, 2025, with a commitment of 7 sections over 3 terms, Fall, Winter, and Summer. Capilano University is located on the territories of the LíỈwat, xʷməθkʷəỷəm (Musqueam), shíshálh (Sechelt), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and SəỈílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
The Early Childhood Care and Education program stands in partnership with Early Childhood Educators of British Columbia (ECEBC) in promoting early childhood education as a profession. The department is committed to working towards the professionalization of early childhood educators in a universal, accessible, inclusive early childhood system that views early childhood education as the right of the child as a citizen. We are early childhood faculty, academics and researchers who are working with reconceptualist perspectives of early childhood education. We understand pedagogy as situated in the discipline of social science and the education of educators needs to be primarily steeped in educational and pedagogical matters. This education does not teach future educators how to apply knowledges and how to use methods that sustain the present system and current conditions. Rather, their education supports them on the challenging tasks of (1) understanding our current conditions, (2) imagining and worlding less oppressive, less violent, less destructive futures, and (3) enacting these possible futures through lively and experimental curricula with children and families.
We work with children, families, and communities to co-create pedagogical spaces where all lives can flourish. The early childhood educator holds a disposition to listen, to be open, to challenge ourselves to think otherwise, to stay with the troubles and to live joyfully. We consider that in their pedagogical responsibilities, educators understand that children and families are differently situated in relation to local and global contexts, and live in complex interdependent relations with others (humans and more-than-human). Such understanding involves actively challenging normative notions of childhood and family composition. Educators not only make pedagogical decisions, but also create lively curricula that acknowledge and respond to children’s and families’ complex situational circumstances and interdependencies. Candidates will have the ability to engage in, or have a demonstrated record of research, teaching, and community engagement in reconceptualist early childhood care and education.
We stand as allies of the BC Aboriginal Child Care Society working in all ways toward truth and reconciliation in ensuring our practice honours the Indigenous Early Learning and Care Framework and UNDRIP. We are resolute in supporting the self-governance of Indigenous Peoples in creating an Indigenous early years system. We respond to the legacies of colonization as they critically reflect on the historical and geopolitical circumstances of the lands on which they practice. Candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, decolonization, anti-racism, and /or social justice in education.
