What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Part Time Instructor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Instructor, you need subject matter expertise, teaching experience, and at least a bachelor's degree (often a master's or higher) in the relevant field. Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS) such as Canvas or Blackboard and digital presentation tools is typically required. Exceptional communication, organization, and adaptability help instructors engage diverse learners and manage varying schedules. These skills ensure effective knowledge transfer, student engagement, and adaptability to different classroom environments.

What are some common challenges faced by part-time instructors and how can they be managed?

Part-time instructors often balance teaching with other professional or personal commitments, which can make time management a key challenge. They may also have limited access to campus resources or less involvement in departmental activities compared to full-time faculty. Building connections with students and colleagues within a compressed schedule can be difficult, but staying organized, proactively communicating with department staff, and utilizing available institutional support services can help manage these challenges effectively.

What is a part-time instructor?

A part-time instructor is an educator who teaches courses or leads classes on a less than full-time basis, often at colleges, universities, or vocational schools. They may be hired for a specific semester or course and typically do not carry the same administrative or research responsibilities as full-time faculty. Part-time instructors are often professionals in their fields who bring practical experience to the classroom. Their flexible schedules can accommodate other professional commitments or personal obligations.

COYLE OUTSIDE
http://www.coyleoutside.com/
Our goal is to provide youth with an experience of taking "mentored" risks and developing a meaningful connection to the natural world and each other. We want our students to experience discovery, connect with the natural world, and develop initiative, accountability and creativity.
Coyle Outside is committed to having an instructor team that is diverse, passionate, and interested in making a difference in the world.
We look for amazing people who love kids and the outdoors to make our camps and courses a transformational experience for the people we serve.
We are based in Corvallis, OR, operating year round and additionally we offer summer programs in Portland and Bend, OR as well as several additional states.
Compensation: $19.00 - $24.50 per hour
Adventure, Discovery, Inspiration First
We don't put safety first at Coyle Outside. That is said with trepidation as it seems our culture, especially around kids, increasingly values safety above all else sometimes. That leaves things like good judgement, relationship, trust, connection to come AFTER. What we see is that the world kids grow up in is increasingly sanitized of adversity and opportunities to experience failure/victory and to experience themselves as potential difference makers. We believe there is a distinction between discovery and 'learning' and that discovery changes a person forever. We believe that wisdom (as well as a beautiful, rich life) comes through failures, taking risks and from entering and passing through what is scary and uncomfortable.
Work With Us
To work here we want you to be up to something in life. We are looking for instructors who feel the need to make a difference as much as the need to have a paycheck. Our instructor team is expected to develop themselves as guides and mentors for our participants while also developing strong working relationships with co instructors that build a strong culture and keep standards high.
Many, if not most, of our programs have been the brainchild of or inspired by the initiative and talent of individual instructors whether that be our fishing and archery camps or our expansion to new states. Our instructors are self sufficient, autonomous and adventurous OR they are committed to developing themselves in these ways. The work is challenging and rewarding and instructors are at the same time highly independent and part of a larger culture.
We provide training in instruction approach, group and behavior management and technical outdoor skills. Our instructors work largely autonomously and with limited supervision and are confident and ready to be responsible. All instructors are on a first name basis with the founder/owner.
Year round we are looking for unique people who are ready to both stretch themselves and contribute to something larger
  • Make a difference for youth and impact their experience of themselves and what is possible for the future of their world
  • Commit to and explore the power of nature based experiential education
  • Challenge and develop your own personal and professional sense of adventure and self sufficiency/autonomy
  • Develop your own outdoor skills competency and/or use your developed passion/skills in an instructional role
