Lead HVAC Instructor Job Arlington area,Texas USA,Education / Teaching

Job Summary

A Lead Instructor is responsible for teaching courses and assumes the administrative responsibilities of a Lead Instructor. A Lead Instructor is responsible for program effectiveness, including outcomes, organization, administration, continuous review, planning and development. In situations where a program is being newly implemented or taught out and/or the student population does not warrant a Program Director, the Lead Instructor provides leadership and oversight to the program.

Similarly, when two schools in close proximity are both offering the same program, a Program Director may be physically located at one campus while a Lead Instructor is physically located at the other. Finally, there may be situations where a program is large enough where both a Program Director and a Lead Instructor are necessary to provide adequate oversight to the faculty and students in a program.
