What is a contract instructor?

A Contract Instructor is a teaching professional hired on a contractual basis to deliver courses at an educational institution. Unlike full-time faculty, they typically work on a fixed-term contract and may not have tenure or long-term job security. Their responsibilities often include preparing lesson plans, delivering lectures, grading assignments, and providing student support. The contract length and workload can vary depending on the institution and subject area.

What does a contract instructor do?

A typical workday for a Contract Instructor often involves preparing lesson materials, delivering instruction to groups or individuals, and assessing learner progress through assignments or evaluations. You may work independently or collaborate with other instructors and administrators, depending on the program or organization. While some positions involve a set teaching schedule, others may require flexibility with hours or deliver content remotely. In addition to teaching, Contract Instructors frequently update curriculum materials and respond to student questions. This dynamic role requires balancing instructional responsibilities with ongoing communication and preparation to ensure educational objectives are met.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the contract instructor position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Contract Instructor, you need subject-matter expertise, instructional design knowledge, and experience in classroom or online teaching, often supported by a relevant degree or professional certification. Familiarity with e-learning platforms, presentation software, and learning management systems (LMS) is usually expected. Excellent communication, adaptability, and interpersonal skills help create engaging learning environments and effectively address diverse learner needs. These skills are essential to deliver high-quality instruction, adapt to different learning styles, and meet the goals of both learners and contracting organizations.

To provide such air traffic services, the FAA trains new air traffic control specialists and provides recurrent training to current air traffic control specialists. The FAA utilizes Contractor-provided instructional services at FAA ATC facilities throughout the U.S. and its Territories to ensure these training needs are met. The scope of the contractor-provided services includes all training and training program support to successfully train and prepare students to become fully certified air traffic controllers. SAIC must provide training and training related support services as required for all types and levels of ATC facilities.
