Adjunct Faculty, Rising Scholars Program

California's Premier Destination Community College

Lake Tahoe Community College continually seeks part‑time instructors to teach One‑On‑One Enhanced Instruction in the Rising Scholars Program (RSP) department. The college is looking for qualified instructors in Counseling, English, Geology, Math, Music, Psychology, Speech, and Sociology for future quarters.

Teaching in LTCC’s RSP is an excellent opportunity to work with an underrepresented population and provide quality, student‑centered instruction. Our students are eager to learn and committed to enhancing their lives as they pursue a college degree.

Lake Tahoe Community College’s Rising Scholars Program has been in operation since 2015. The goal is to support incarcerated students in pursuing higher education. We offer an Associate in Arts for Transfer degree in Sociology, completed through an enhanced one‑on‑one delivery method. Cost‑free textbooks and materials are provided, and tuition‑free enrollment is available for qualifying students via the California College Promise Grant.

Adjunct Instructors are part‑time, contracted faculty teaching courses on a quarter basis. Positions do not exceed 67 % of a full‑time faculty member’s load.
