Instructor will guide students in the acquisition of basic skills, knowledge and attitudes as identified

by district curriculum guidelines and industry standards.

Under the guidance of the Director and/or Manager, the Instructor will provide the basis for

instructional decision-making. Programs taught will be determined by student interest and career

pathways. All instruction provided for students will be individualized. This means that differences in

instructors will vary materials, rate of instruction, and methodology and these modifications will be

based upon frequent assessment.

This is a non-benefitted grant funded position. Subsequent years are reliant upon continuation of

funds.
