3 Meet the Faculty

Meet the Faculty and Staff

Classes in the CHDV & EDUC Department are taught by four full-time and part-time faculty members with backgrounds in early childhood education, education, child family services, and advanced degrees in related disciplines. Our instructors come from a wide variety of experience and educational backgrounds and provide a comprehensive education for our students.

Full-Time Faculty

Our full-time faculty members are tenured or on the tenure-track and teach a full contract load of five or more classes each semester. They also coordinate the department’s programs, provide student advising, hold leadership roles in other areas in the district, and maintain offices and office hours on campus.

 Part-Time Faculty

Our part-time faculty (also known as adjunct instructors) are non-tenure-track faculty members who teach between one and three courses per semester. They do not maintain offices on campus, and often teach at multiple colleges throughout the area, or hold other jobs in the field.
