Basic Teaching Load Sample Clauses

Basic Teaching Load. As noted in Article V, A, 1, faculty work includes four categories of responsibilities: 1) Teaching & Learning, 2) Professional Development, 3) Service to the College and/or the Community, and 4) Curriculum and Classroom Management. This section (B) speaks specifically to the teaching and learning aspect. There are three options for calculating an instructor’s full-time teaching load: 1. Full-Time Equated System (FTES) a. A full-time teaching load shall be an assignment consisting of thirty (30) equated hours for two semesters (may include a summer, fall, or winter sequence at the instructor’s option; however, full-time instructional personnel shall be afforded every opportunity to fulfill the minimum annual teaching load during the fall and winter semesters). Only one summer semester can be used in the construction of a full academic year. This should coincide with the College’s fiscal year. Using this option to avoid teaching either the fall or winter term can be done only with the mutual agreement of the faculty member and the administrative supervisor. b. Instructors shall have their teaching load computed as one equated hour for each hour of instruction. Examples: ENG 111 three (3) credit hours (3-0) = three (3) equated. BIO 101 four
