  4. Letters of reference. Provide three letters of reference from employers or supervisors that provide support for your application to teach in the Instructor Diploma Program.

  6. Identify the particular course or courses that you feel qualified to teach. Provide evidence of your experience that qualifies you to instruct a course. If you have taught a comparable course elsewhere, please identify the content, where it was taught and other relevant details.

Please note that all employment is part-time, and instructors are hired on a course by course basis. If accepted for consideration, applicants will undergo a period of training which will include auditing courses on their own time as well as working with one or more core faculty on an on-going basis until the department is confident that the individual is able to work independently. Applicants are normally considered to instruct only one course at a time.
