Adjunct Instructor of Mathematics

Math Adjunct Instructor

The Math Adjunct Instructor provides high-quality instruction in mathematics courses that support general education, transfer, career and technical programs, and student progression. Assignments may include quantitative reasoning, algebra, enhanced or co-requisite college algebra, introductory statistics, mathematics for education programs, or other courses consistent with the instructor's credentials and departmental need. The instructor creates a structured, supportive learning environment that develops quantitative reasoning, problem solving, mathematical communication, and confidence.

Essential duties and responsibilities include teaching assigned mathematics courses in accordance with approved course descriptions, student learning outcomes, departmental expectations, and College policies. The instructor must prepare and publish a complete course syllabus and instructional schedule before the course opens to students. They should plan and deliver accurate, organized, and accessible instruction using examples, applications, guided practice, and appropriate mathematical technology.

The instructor must meet all scheduled classes and maintain appropriate instructor availability through office hours, email, telephone, or other approved communication channels. They should assess student learning frequently; provide constructive, encouraging, and corrective feedback; maintain accurate attendance, grade, and achievement records; and submit midterm and final grades by established deadlines. The instructor must use the College learning management system, calculators or mathematical software, and approved instructional technologies effectively for course delivery, communication, assessment, and recordkeeping.

They should participate in course and institutional assessment, including common assessment items, documentation of student-learning results, and continuous improvement activities. The instructor must coordinate with full-time mathematics faculty and academic leadership regarding course pacing, prerequisite alignment, enhanced/co-requisite support, and student success concerns. They must maintain student confidentiality and comply with FERPA, accessibility requirements, nondiscrimination standards, copyright requirements, and all applicable College procedures.

The instructor must complete required orientation, training, credentialing, and compliance activities and perform related duties as assigned.

Minimum qualifications include a master's degree in mathematics; or a master's degree in a closely related field with at least 18 graduate semester hours in mathematics, from a regionally accredited institution. Demonstrated command of the mathematics content required for the assigned course is necessary. The instructor should be able to explain mathematical concepts clearly, model multiple problem-solving approaches, and evaluate student work consistently.

Basic proficiency with email, word processing, presentation software, web-based systems, and instructional technology is required.

Preferred qualifications include two or more years of successful college-level mathematics teaching or equivalent adult-learning experience. Experience teaching quantitative reasoning, algebra, college algebra, co-requisite or enhanced mathematics, statistics, or mathematics for educators is preferred. Experience teaching online, hybrid, Zoom, IVN, or dual-enrollment courses is also preferred. Experience with learning management systems, online homework platforms, outcomes assessment, open educational resources, and accessible course design is desirable.

Evidence of effective work with first-generation students, adult learners, and students with varied levels of mathematics preparation or mathematics anxiety is also desirable.

Knowledge, skills, and abilities include thorough and accurate knowledge of the assigned mathematics content and its applications. The instructor should be able to organize instruction around measurable learning outcomes and progressive skill development. Strong mathematical, written, oral, interpersonal, and student-support communication skills are required. The instructor should be able to diagnose learning gaps, provide timely intervention, and connect students with appropriate academic support.

They should be able to evaluate student performance fairly, consistently, and promptly. Commitment to rigorous instruction, inclusive learning, ethical practice, continuous improvement, and student success is expected.

Teaching assignments may be scheduled during the day or evening and may be delivered in person, online, hybrid, Zoom, Interactive Video Network (IVN), or another approved modality. Regular and punctual attendance, reliable access to instructional technology, and timely communication with students and the College are required. The position may require travel among College locations. Reasonable accommodations will be provided in accordance with applicable law and College policy.
