An Eclectic Pedagogue (EP) is a course instructor and grader at the Shadow Academy.

Duties

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

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 of being the first EP. 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 are standard for all EP positions.

  • 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)
  • 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
  • Identify one thing you like about the course, and one you thing you think needs to be improved.

Applications should be emailed 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.
