Early College Professional Development Program

We invite local and regional teachers from partnership schools to teach select Early College or Dual Enrollment courses at 海角社区, as outlined in our established course menu. Early College/Dual Enrollment teachers will receive compensation for participation in the faculty professional development workshops, which will be paid directly to the teacher. The Early College Faculty Professional Development Program is available during the fall and spring semesters.

Teachers who wish to become Early College faculty offering classes that apply toward a baccalaureate degree must have a master’s degree in the teaching discipline or a master’s degree with a concentration in the teaching discipline (i.e., minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline).  

Teachers who wish to become Early College faculty offering classes that apply toward an associate degree that are not intended for transfer to a baccalaureate degree must have a bachelor’s degree in the teaching discipline, or associate’s degree and demonstrated competencies in the teaching discipline.
