Job description

Job Description

Part‑time faculty are paid on a lecture hour equivalents (LHE) basis. For most courses the LHE is the same as a credit hour. For others the LHE represents additional work such as grading or laboratory instruction; in those cases the LHE represents a figure higher than the credit hour. All part‑time faculty start at the beginning pay rates, regardless of other experience. For the 2026‑27 academic year rates are $1251/LHE for faculty without doctorates and $1326/LHE for faculty with doctorates. Faculty advance one step within the salary schedule with the successful completion of two fall & spring semesters where three or more LHEs are taught in each semester.

Part‑time faculty are hired on a semester‑by‑semester basis. A reasonable effort is made to assure the assignment of courses to more senior part‑time faculty who are fully qualified by virtue of their education, training, work experience as related to current technology and pedagogical techniques, and who have a history of successful performance at Oakton College.

All assignments are conditioned on sufficient enrollment. Once a course starts the part‑time faculty member is expected to complete the course.

Responsibilities

• Construct a course syllabus for each course assigned, consistent with the generic course syllabus, stipulating course objectives, content and grading criteria.
• Prepare course presentations and instructional materials using active learning methods and a variety of instructional strategies, deliver instruction to students at each class session either in person on campus or online.
• Meet with courses and laboratories at scheduled times.
• Instruct, advise, consult with and evaluate the performance of enrolled students.
• Maintain clear records of student performance and grade accordingly.
• Participate in department meetings and comply with department decisions regarding instructional matters.
• Participate in department and institutional assessments of student learning and in department and institutional surveys.
• Comply with institutional procedures.
• Attend and participate in divisional meetings, committee, task force and other institutional organization meetings as assigned.
• Schedule office hours with at least one office hour held weekly for every three credit hours taught.
• Engage in professional development activities to maintain professional skills and currency in the profession and improve the quality of student learning.

Requirements

• Applicants must be strong communicators and effective classroom facilitators who enjoy teaching in a student‑centered environment.
• Oakton especially values candidates committed to working in a culturally competent environment. Cultural competence integrates and transforms knowledge about individuals and groups of people into standards, policies, practices and attitudes used in appropriate cultural settings to enhance the quality of services.
• Applicants should be current and skilled in the use of evolving technologies, active in promoting critical thinking, and committed to challenging students to be knowledgeable, ethical and capable global citizens.
• Faculty must be professionally competent, possess strong leadership qualities, participate in professional development activities and engage in institutional and departmental service.
