Responsible Executive: Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
I. PURPOSE
Motlow State Community College (Motlow State) wants to provide opportunities for administrators (exempt staff) to occasionally teach a class or classes. This allows them to maintain teaching skills, gain a firsthand perspective on today’s students in a classroom setting, assist the college in course staffing needs, and pursue professional development.
II. GUIDELINES
- Qualifications for administrators to teach are the same as hiring any other faculty member. The appropriate credentialing form will be used and signed by all parties.
- Eligibility for extra compensation for Motlow State administrators will have the same limitations as a full-time faculty member. The administrator shall be limited to teaching no more than two (2) additional courses, a maximum of six (6) semester credit hours, per semester for extra pay unless waived by the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs.
- Payment will be at the appropriate adjunct faculty rate.
- Teaching is contingent on enrollment, course availability, the approval of the person’s immediate supervisor and appropriate dean. Preference in course assignment will be given to full-time faculty.
- Support staff (non-exempt staff) are not eligible to teach.
