Position Summary Information

Job Description

Under direction, provide just-in-time, individual and group student tutoring in the full spectrum of mathematical concepts taught at the college; coordinates and leads special topic workshops for students ranging from basic skills to transfer level mathematics; leads and performs highly advanced and technical support duties; collects and reports student participation data; understands and implements effective teaching and learning strategies with a mathematical and growth mindset;

assists instructors in preparing for complex learning experiences; serves as a lead worker over student workers; operates and maintains specialized equipment related to the assigned instructional areas; performs complex technical administrative support tasks for faculty and other instructional staff; and performs related work as assigned.

Incumbents must possess and utilize highly technical and specialized knowledge of a particular instructional or academic area in order to perform duties and help ensure the safety of students.

This class may be distinguished from the lower level class of Instructional Support Technician because incumbents in that class perform a wide range of complex technical instructional and administrative support duties in science, vocational, engineering, electronics, photography, physical education, or other specialized and technical laboratory environments, but do not typically serve as lead workers in those types of specialized settings.

This position is further characterized by supporting the mathematics program and mathematics lab.

Incumbents in this class work under the direction of a manager or senior manager, receiving occasional supervision while working toward a definite objective that requires use of a wide range of procedures. Incumbents plan and/or determine specific procedures or equipment required to meet assigned objectives and solve non-routine problems, referring only unusual matters to a supervisor. An incumbent in this class does not directly supervise other full-time employees, but may serve as a lead worker by assigning, directing and/or monitoring the work of subordinate full-time employees on a regular basis.
