Confusion - “CV including a summary of teaching experience” I am going to apply for a visiting lecturer position at a US university. The job posting is mentioning that applicants should send (email) CV including a summary of teaching experience, and a teaching statement. I have two questions.


I am confused about the part "CV including a summary of teaching experience". Does it mean the usual work experience part in the CV, or do I need to send a separate essay of "summary of teaching experience" along with CV?
The posting is not mentioning anything about a cover letter. Do I need to send a cover letter anyway?


Thanks.
Besides asking them about more clear instructions, I would suggest having two separate sections in your CV:


Teaching Experience
Work Experience


from that, it would be clear which positions are the teaching ones, and which are research/other.

For this type of applications, it might not hurt to expand the Teaching Experience section with slightly more details on the courses taught, like


title
graduate/undergradute
approximate # students
whether you developed the course content/course materials


Your teaching statement is a separate document.
