POSITION SUMMARY:
Seeking adults to teach Adult Enrichment Classes who have talent, skills, experience and passion to share with our community. Adult Enrichment offers a wide variety of activities for participants to select and engage in. These activities focus on providing enrichment through education involving lecture/discussion, hands-on learning, and the opportunity to meet like-minded people who share common interests.
PRIMARY JOB FUNCTIONS:
1. Each Adult Enrichment class is personally designed and taught by each instructor. Topics and goals for the class, including handouts or PowerPoint presentations, are reviewed by the Adult Enrichment Coordinator. When possible, this takes place as an in-person or Zoom-based conversation to discuss ideas.
2. Collaborate and communicate with the Adult Enrichment Coordinator on any specific technology or classroom needs for the class. This should be confirmed by the time the class is officially considered a GO. (A GO status is based on meeting the minimum number of agreed-to registrations.)
3. Provide instruction using knowledge of the various learning styles and needs of participants. Our classes are typically designed for beginners with a flexibility to accommodate those with some experience or knowledge.
4. Prepare materials for class activities. All final handouts must be emailed to the Adult Enrichment Coordinator one week before the first session. Once the class is a GO, handouts will be emailed to the participants.
5. Collaborate and distribute class evaluations to participants and work with the Adult Enrichment Coordinator regarding opportunities to improve content and ensure positive outcomes.
6. Monitor engagement of participants and ensure a safe and positive environment for learning.
7. Take attendance using the roster provided by Community Education.
8. Adapt teaching methods and instructional materials if required/requested from the program participants and/or the Adult Enrichment Coordinator.
