WHO YOU ARE
As a part-time instructor in the Forestry, Wildlife and Natural Resources Department, you provide critical skill-based instruction in the natural resource disciplines. Providing students with hands-on field skills is crucial to the success of our students. You work individually, as well as in collaboration with colleagues, to develop innovative curriculum which meets the needs of our diverse population of students and is in line with the professional accrediting bodies of the Society of American Foresters and North American Wildlife Technology Association so that students are career ready when leaving the program.
Student retention and success are your top priorities. You will utilize technology and effective teaching strategies to develop students’ professional skills. Many of our courses are taught off campus in a field setting, so an understating of risk assessment when working in outdoor settings as well as the ability to be flexible when conditions and curricular plans change is a plus in this position. You may be asked to teach at different times, locations and modalities to meet the needs of the College.
This is a part-time, temporary position with no benefits except Colorado State retirement, PERA.
