An '''Eclectic Pedagogue (EP)''' is a course instructor and grader at the [[Shadow Academy]]. Do not be fooled by their position on the chain of command, for their job is very important. Eclectic Pedagogues are expected to offer their course a certain number of times per year. Their time within the confines of the Shadow Academy is largely based on the demand for their course.

==Duties==
[[Eclectic Pedagogue]] used to be the position held by certain members of the [[Shadow Academy]]. Their specific job was to teach and grade courses offered at the Academy. The role was usually given to those who applied to vacant roles when a current EP stepped down, however  the position was also acquired through the creation of new courses. Eclectic Pedagogue was the first name given to someone who grades courses at the Academy. The name was introduced under the reign of Pyralis, with initials EPs being divided among four campuses: Khar Shian (General Studies), Onderon (Tactics and Flight), Deneba (Lore and Philosophy), Karana (Combat Tactics).
Asides from instruction and grading, EPs are also charged with the following duties:
*Ensuring their course remains up to date
*Provide information for any proposed changes to the course
*Watch for and report any situations of cheating, or suspected cheating


==Becoming an EP==
After the [[Ninth Great Jedi War]] and the destruction of the Shadow Academy, the Academy was rebuilt and reformed in  [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|31 ABY]]. Included in the reconstruction of the Academy was the redivision of courses into Departments, each headed by a [[Shadow Academy#Professors|Professor]], with select courses being handled by a single [[Shadow Academy#Docents|Docent]]. With these new positions, the old position of Eclectic Pedagogue was dissolved.
The only guaranteed method for becoming an EP is to write a new course for the Shadow Academy. When a person writes a new course, they are given the option to be the first EP. Though most people do, a few have decline the opportunity in the past. An alternative is merely for the Headmaster to ask someone privately to take over the exam, though this option is rarely exercised, and usually only under special circumstances.


The only other way to become an EP is to apply for an '''open''' position. This is the most common method and the Headmaster, or his praetor, will post a notice on the main page about an open job. The following requirements are considered the '''minimum''', and they are standard for all EP positions. They are:


*Have passed the course before the announcement was posted (ex: you can't apply to be EP of Brotherhood Basics without having passed that exam)
[[Category:Obsolete Data]]
*Rank of Protector or higher
*Have an average e-mail turn around time of 72 hours or less
*Provide an answer key to the exam that goes with the test
*In the application, identify one thing you like about the course, and one you thing you think needs to be improved.
*E-mail the applications to the Headmaster and his praetor by the date noted in the announcement.
 
Once again, these are the minimum requirements for the job. The Headmaster may add other requirements as he deems fit, and any non-standard tests (such as the Test of Wisdom) will have specific requirements.
 
==Other Notes==
A person may be an EP for more than one course, or hold other positions throughout the Brotherhood, so long as they prove that they can handle all of their jobs with reasonable skill.
