Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership

Center for Mathematics Education

The Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership (TLPL) in the College of Education has a full-time opening for an Assistant Clinical Professor of Mathematics Education, with an August 2023 start date.

Overview:

The University of Maryland, College Park is the flagship campus of the University System of Maryland. With an enrollment of over 30,000 students, Maryland is the largest university in the state and the largest in the Washington Metropolitan area. The University is committed to achieving excellence as the State’s primary center of research and undergraduate/graduate education. The campus benefits from the close proximity and network connections with the broader Washington and Baltimore metropolitan communities and from its location in Prince Georges County Maryland and its proximity to Montgomery County Maryland.

Housed within the College of Education, the Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership (TLPL) is one of three departments that offers undergraduate and graduate study. The TLPL department has a strong commitment to increasing the diversity of the campus community and contributing to the climate of inclusivity in the College and University. Our faculty work in strong partnership with local schools (including Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George’s County, and District of Columbia Public Schools) and the varieties of students to be found in them, as well as government and non-governmental organizations to support education, access, and equity for all students.

TLPL offers three teacher preparation pathways: undergraduate, five-year integrated undergraduate and masters, and one-year masters. Over the course of our programs, students develop critical knowledge, skills, and teaching practices to become effective teachers in our diverse and multicultural society. Our programs are committed to socially just and equitable instructional practices as well as increasing the diversity of the local teacher pool, and helping all teachers teach in culturally responsive and sustaining ways. TLPL also offers a Mathematics Education M.Ed. aimed at current elementary and middle school teachers looking to become math specialists or take other teacher leader roles.
