Health Educator

Health Educators are responsible for the support of student learning and the on-going development of instructional strategies that promote student success in conjunction with course instructors. Educators support the primary instructor by developing intensive education support sessions available for all students registered in some of our most challenging program courses. Educators work closely with faculty members on course content and provide students with extended learning time to review and expand on course materials.

Educators, along with the course instructor, meet during the course scheduled time and provide additional support outside of the scheduled course. Primary instruction and assessment are the responsibility of the course instructor; the health educator provides support for that instruction. Maximum 11.75 hours per week.
