Western Illinois University's Department of Elementary Education and Reading is
looking for one reading/language arts professor - assistant or associate.  The
primary focus will be on reading, with an emphasis on assessment and
instruction of for students with reading difficulties.  The position begins in
August.

We need someone with at least a few years of classroom experience at the
elementary and/or junior high (middle school) level.  The Department of
Elementary Education and Reading has about 24 faculty, and they are excellent
to work with:  very supportive and no politics.  We receive approximately $1.5
million per year in grants within the department, so there's lots to work on
and even more potential.  We are very heavy into fiber optic and satellite
stuff.  Load is six to seven courses per year, and very well paid summer work
is generally available.  Pay is what you'd expect for a regional state campus:
not bad, but not great.

Please forward this message if you know of any colleagues who might have
students coming out.  Also please pass on to any of your own students.  ABDs
are welcome.

I can be contacted at clarkc@ccmail.wiu.bgu.edu, 309-788-1717, 792-5330, or
2639-27th Street, Rock Island IL  61201.  The department chair is Michael
Jacobson, Department of Elementary Education and Reading, WIU, Macomb, IL 61455
(309-298-1961).

Thanks,

Charles H. Clark
Professor of Reading
