Nursing Instructor, LPN Program - Yavapai College

Reporting to the Director of Allied Health, the incumbent will teach practical nursing discipline specific courses using a variety of methodologies. Responsibilities will include course preparation and instruction; curriculum development; program and class recruitment; participation in the on-campus college community and continued professional growth activities; and creative program building based on needs assessment and in collaboration with other faculty and staff.
 
The successful staff member recognizes that service to our students is our highest priority, and embraces their role in student success, recruitment, and retention. This includes being open to a variety of delivery methods and course design with the possibility of interactive, online, day, evening, weekend classes and/or teaching at various College locations. In addition, faculty should be open to both traditional (16 week) and compressed course design (i.e., 8-week classes). Staff can expect to participate in innovative forms of assessment and should be willing to utilize OER when possible.
 
This is a 9-month position, with year 1 requiring a 12-month availability to include orientation, course design, simulation training, etc. The expectation is that upon grant completion there will be an opportunity to serve as provisional faculty for a period of three years prior to being reviewed for continuing status as full-time faculty. The determination of faculty status is, however, ultimately at the discretion of the College President as the Yavapai College District Governing Board’s designee.
