Job Expectations Most faculty will teach in full-time, team-taught, 16-credit programs connected by a particular theme or line of inquiry, typically taught by two or three faculty. The student: faculty ratio is 25:1; the size of the program depends on the size of the faculty team. This arrangement allows for in-depth, interdisciplinary and experiential learning, and the building of strong learning communities. Evergreen uses narrative evaluations in lieu of grades. Faculty are responsible for advising students as they reflect on their learning process, develop a pathway of study, and formulate their own areas of concentration. Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping students develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaborative work.
