I have been an instructor at the Environmental Training Center for 18 years. I work part-time, teaching just 1 night / week, plus an occasional full day continuing education class. This is in addition to my full time career, but actually I have found this to be an excellent career builder. I have made so many contacts in the water / wastewater industry as a result of this work. Just having "name recognition" amongst my peers provides a major advantage, opening doors for new opportunities. 
But that is not the reason I do it....It provides me huge satisfaction to see students i had in years past that were just entering the field and are now filling leadership roles in the field.
The staff at the Georgetown , ETC are absolutely amazing! 
Have some real experience, and something you feel passionate about but don't think you are a "teacher"... ? Contact them they will help you to help them, all at the benefit of other Operators that need to hear your message.

Typical day was to review lecture notes, go over power point presentations, and read e-mails.  Work began as open lecture with follow up questions.  Administering of tests, quizzes and labs for Anatomy & Physiology and Basic Chemistry.  After class I would update grades, respond to e-mails and have discussions with students as needed.  Co-workers were very helpful and supportive with suggestions, e-mails, lab work, and how to handle students professionally.  Hardest part of the job was to be honest with students when it came to their progress in the class.  At some point in the semester the students had no chance at passing the class due to the grades they had.  The most enjoyable part of the job was when I could see a student actually understand the lecture material based on different approaches I would take in presenting the material.

I taught classes for duration of 3 hours during evening hours. I learned that adult learners who were changing careers greatly needed to be updated on writing resumes and interview skills. Students taking keyboarding classes seemed to enjoy the challenge knowing that their fields of study required they know how to type. I   followed a lesson plan and communicated with the department heads via email correspondence. I did not have coworkers. The most challenging part of this job was to make sure students understood that this was a three hour class and they and to input the required 16 weeks and three hour class duration in order to pass. The most enjoyable part of the job was reading the students evaluations stating they enjoyed taking the class and liked the instructor’s positive attitude.

Think of the opposite of inclusive. The environment is horribly toxic. 
Faculty have no voice, the administration is punitive, HR doesn't acknowledge faculty and staff issues, much less do anything to address them. Employees are promoted into leadership positions without the necessary knowledge or management experience because employees who were next in line retired, retired early, or quit. Those that remain are doing time, counting the days to retirement. 
The President celebrated a 25% raise in 2022 even though enrollment was down and morale was in the toilet, while instructors received a 1x $500 bonus in their paycheck that same year. Administration is bloated and their salaries  are bloated. Look it up. Salaries of every state employee are published, every year. 
There is no sense of family among employees, no loyalty, and no commitment to doing the things that enhance job satisfaction and overall well being. You'll find some of this among small groups, but not in the organization as a whole. 

Students are in fact NOT at the Center of Everything they Do... The DTCC hierarchy is purely concerned with graduation rates. While community college is a business, they do not care about the product they are turning out, only about getting (and pushing students through). As a result, they have lowered academic standards, creating ill-prepared students. The in-take process doesn't properly guide students to what courses they need, which end of having students paying for classes they don't need. The upper & mid-level management DOES NOT respect or treat the instructional or support staff with respect or professionalism. Micromanagement to the tenth degree! Place is filled with pettiness, and caddy behavior. Dedicated custodial staff is told to hide & not be seen when "important" visitors come to campus. Instructor's academic freedom has been taken away by mid & upper level supervisors and replaced with directives created by non-experts. 

Was an adjunct instructor off and on for approximately 10 years. I loved coming to teach even after a rough day at my day job. I stayed on in hopes of becoming a full time instructor. I thought I was paying my dues as an adjunct, but it seems like I was just wasting my time. A full time teaching position opened up in my former department and I was "encouraged" to apply for the job. I was told that they "needed someone with my experience".

In hind sight, they were leading me on. Needless to say I did not get the job. It appears that they never took into consideration my industrial experience, my success and good performance reviews from my former students, and yes, I bailed them out a few times when they were short staffed and needed a last minute adjunct. They knew ahead of time who they were going to hire for the position. Yet they somehow were expecting me to teach again in the fall. I will never teach for DelTech again. I felt used by these people.

A typical day is spent receiving payments from students, processing refunds via check or credit card, auditing reports for errors in posting, reconciling the accounts and then closing our cash drawers and balancing them. There is a lot of student interaction on this job. A lot of time is spent guiding students through the process of getting classes, understanding when to drop classes and how it will affect their grades and their money. I've learned that people are people and each one is special in their own right. The hardest part of my job is a student that really wants to be there to learn but just does not have the home support or the monetary ability to enroll in classes. The most enjoyable part of my day is the student that comes back and says "thank you for the encouragement and I made it."

Adjunct instructors are wildly exploited, only paid based off of "hands on" teaching time, 0 pay for grading, lesson planning ect all of which you are still fully required to complete. Meanwhile full time instructors are paid 40 hours a week for their planning and grading time and only required to teach 15 hours a week. 0 health benefits for adjunct instructors, dean's are unsupportive and have never spoken to most of the adjuncts that keep their department going. Adjunct instructors and full time instructors are expected to produce the same courses and student outcomes with an almost 30k pay gap. College states that they are "student centered" but their man concern is tuition and "pushing students through" even when they are failing so the program numbers appear positive. Continually short staffed with little to no support from Dean's. 

I started working as a peer tutor since my instructor suggested it.
During down time in your day you are allowed to work on your own homework, so working the beginning hours to a day meant you got paid to do your own homework. Pretty awesome.

Management was fantastic, very encouraging, motivating and when you need someone, there is always someone ready to help you.

The best part to this job is seeing the bulb flicker on in a students mind.

The worst, would be the lack of motivation from students. A lot of students have multiple jobs and added school. When push comes to shove, bills take the lead and students stop to show up and you witness some fail class/school due to their struggle.
Really sucks, I always root for the students.
