Continuing Education Programming Clause Samples

Continuing Education Programming. When a continuing education course is offered in a discipline or specialty area in which qualified employees covered by this agreement are instructing in the credit/funded programs, such employees shall be given the first opportunity to teach the course. If the opportunity is not accepted, the offer need not be repeated until the instructor hired in the first instance is to be replaced, or additional sections added unless special provision has been made at the time of first refusal. When an employee has a shortfall in workload, continuing education courses/contracts may be offered to bring an employee's annual workload to one hundred percent (100%). The appropriate ▇▇▇▇ and Coordinator shall jointly determine the employee's qualifications and the appropriateness of the available continuing education courses and contracts. Such instruction of continuing education courses will be considered part of the instructor's annual workload and no additional salary will be paid. When an employee is carrying a full instructional load, instruction for continuing education courses in his related discipline shall be reimbursed at a salary equivalent to his salary on the current BCGEU Local 701 (Camosun College Instructors) salary scale. Where programming constraints exist this salary rate may be adjusted by negotiations between the Coordinator and the instructor.
