  • Share administrative tasks, including grading, communication with parents, and coordination of logistics, with fellow instructors.

 

6. Certification and Compliance:

 
  • Successfully complete the Air Force Junior ROTC Instructor Certification Course (JICC) as a condition of certification.

 

7. Supervision and Safety:

  • Instructional Skills: Ability to adapt instructional methods based on individual student needs and to establish effective relationships with students, peers, and parents.
