Communication Studies (Speech Communication) Instructor (Tenure-Track)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, closing date? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove EEO statement, Annual Security Report, Closes date, To apply link. Also remove FLSA Status, Months Per Year, Safety, etc? Those are metadata; they said "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph for metadata like FLSA Status, Months Per Year, etc. But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Probably we can include a short

for metadata like "FLSA Status: Exempt; Months Per Year: 10" etc. But maybe better to drop minor metadata. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short

for metadata like FLSA Status, Months Per Year, Safety, etc. But we need to decide what to keep. The substantive content: Duties and Responsibilities (list). Employment Standards (knowledge, skills, abilities). Job Requirements (education, experience). Preferred qualifications. Additional Information (Benefits). Also maybe "Work Demands" could be considered but it's generic; maybe we can drop as boilerplate? It's describing physical demands; could be considered substantive but maybe not needed. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Responsibilities and Duties into one section

Responsibilities

with

. Then maybe a section

Requirements

for education/qualifications. Then

Preferred Qualifications

maybe as Skills? But they said use headings like Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could map: Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits. Pay and Schedule not present, so omit. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties, responsibilities, knowledge, skills, abilities, job requirements, preferred qualifications, benefits. We must not omit any substantive detail. However we can combine similar items but must not lose detail. We need to ensure we keep each bullet point. Let's extract substantive content: From "Duties And Responsibilities": bullet-like sentences (though not bullet list). We need to convert to
• . The sentences: - Teach courses in the communication studies discipline (the college offers day, evening, and hybrid/online classes, and faculty may be required to teach in these formats) using culturally responsive pedagogical techniques - Understand and use effective practices for engaging African-American, Latinx, Filipinx, and Pacific-Islander students, who are historically underrepresented and underserved in traditional Communication Studies department classrooms - Maintain expertise in current teaching methodologies and curricula and develop instructional materials and techniques to close the equity gaps experienced by African Americans, Latinx, Filipinx, Pacific Islanders, and other disproportionately impacted students - Assist in new course development, curriculum revisions, and course, program, and institutional assessments - Participate in the development and/or selection of course materials, equipment, and technology that will enhance the communication studies offerings of the department - Maintain expertise in current teaching and discipline technologies by participating in ongoing and intentional professional development - While some courses may be offered online, preference will be given to candidates who can teach face-to-face sections - Participate in departmental (program) planning, documentation, meetings, activities, and team-building - Duties include collaboration with and support of the Communication Studies Center to enhance student learning - Consult with students during regularly scheduled office hours - Serve as a member of division and college committees - Perform other duties as required by contract, collective bargaining agreement, and general institutional needs We need to keep all. Next "Employment Standards (acquired through education, training, and/or experience)" includes: Knowledge Of Major areas of communication studies. May include: public speaking, interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, small group communication, argumentation and debate, gender and communication, and health communication Skills And Abilities: - Evidence of collaboration or a willingness to collaborate with campus programs and resources such as communication studies support centers, learning communities, TRIO, Transfer Center, and/or International Student Programs - Willingness to serve the greater college community through committee participation or cross-discipline collaboration - Reflect on and evaluate one's pedagogy, and examine its effect on students and their learning critically - Expand the use of technology in communication studies education, including hybrid and/or online teaching - Motivate students from a broad spectrum of academic, socioeconomic, ethnic, neurodivergent, and LGBTQIA2S+ backgrounds Job Requirements: - Master's or higher in speech, speech broadcasting, telecommunications, rhetoric, communication, communication studies, speech communication, or organizational communication OR Bachelor's in any of the above AND Master's or higher in drama/ theater arts, mass communication, or English OR the equivalent (see below) - Demonstrated cultural competence, sensitivity to, and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, ethnic, neurodivergent and LGBTQIA2S+ backgrounds of community college students, faculty, and staff as these factors relate to the need for equity-minded practice both within and outside of the classroom. Preferred: - Recent experience working with racially minoritized and other disproportionately impacted students in the classroom and an understanding of how historical patterns of exclusion of these groups within higher education and the field of communication studies shape patterns of participation and outcomes - Willingness to examine and remediate one's instructional, relational, and classroom practices to more effectively engage and support racially minoritized and other disproportionately impacted students - Experience and skill with addressing issues of equity in the classroom and on campus - Experience and expertise in culturally responsive teaching - Demonstrated ability to address equity gaps within communication studies courses and classrooms - Demonstrated knowledge of the implications of the Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) designations for institutional, departmental, and instructional practices Additional Information: Benefits section: Benefits: Benefits include paid holidays, vacation and sick leave. The District pays all or a portion of monthly medical plan premiums (depending on the coverage) and pays all of the monthly dental and vision plan premiums for employees and eligible dependents. Additional paid benefits include life insurance, salary continuance insurance, and an Employee Assistance Program. Academic employees participate in the State Teachers' Retirement System, a defined-benefit retirement plan through the State of California (no contributions to Social Security). Optional tax-deferred 403(b) and 457 retirement plans are also available. We should keep that. We also have some metadata: FLSA Status: Exempt; Months Per Year: 10; Safety... etc. Could fold into a short

  maybe at top. But we could also drop as minor metadata. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph with that metadata. But we need to decide if we want to keep it. It's not substantive but could be kept as minor metadata. I'd include a short

  at the beginning: "FLSA Status: Exempt; Months Per Year: 10." Possibly also safety note? But safety is somewhat boilerplate; maybe drop. We must not include EEO statement, Annual Security Report, Closes date, application instructions. Thus final HTML:

  FLSA Status: Exempt; Months Per Year: 10.
