Instructor of English (9-months)

An instructor’s primary responsibility is to deliver high-quality instruction within their discipline, with a clear focus on achieving established student learning outcomes. In addition to teaching, instructors are expected to mentor and support students in progressing toward degree or program completion.

Full-time instructors are responsible for a range of classroom and administrative duties that support the mission, goals, and objectives of Wilkes Community College, including participation in committee service and ongoing professional development.

A reasonable and equitable teaching load will be determined collaboratively between the instructor and the departmental chair, in consultation with the division dean. This workload may include a combination of traditional classroom instruction, distance education, academic advising, professional development, curriculum development, and other related administrative responsibilities.

Wilkes (main) Campus will be the primary teaching location, but instructors will be assigned teaching duties at the Ashe Campus and/or the Alleghany Center as needed.

The full-time instructor reports directly to the department chairperson or dean of the division and works in concert with the lead instructor of the discipline. This is a full-time, 9-month position.
