The Instructor is responsible for providing students with the skills and knowledge necessary to gain employment in their training field. Every instructor plays an important dual role as a member of the instructional staff and as an advisor to students. Instructors are responsible for maintaining professional competence, for keeping personal knowledge current, for participating in departmental and campus-wide activities, for developing a positive and active learning environment in the classroom for students, and for delivering and assessing established program competencies and outcomes. To accomplish this goal, all instructors utilize their talents, skills, and abilities in a coordinated and consistent team effort under the guidance and supervision of the Director of Education, Program Director, or his/her designee.
