Instructional workload and reassigned workload
February 4th, 2010
Chapter Presidents – Please Distribute – Thank you
At the end of the drop/add period, immediate supervisors shall compute the actual instructional workload and reassigned time for faculty on the Workload Computational Form on page 90 of the Contract. I recommend that all faculty request a copy of the completed Workload Computational Form.
Below 29 Hours – If the sum of the instructional workload and reassigned workload is below the minimum of 29 hours, then the supervisor after discussing alternatives with the affected faculty member will determine:
1. Whether additional course section(s) shall be taught by the faculty member; and/or
2. Whether the faculty member shall provide activities related to course, program or curriculum development; and/or
3. Whether the faculty member shall provide activities such as independent study, contract learning, learning resources development, assessment of prior learning or similar instructional activities; and/or
4. Whether the faculty member shall provide activities such as additional office hours, advise more students, engage in additional college/community service, or professional development activities; and/or
5. Whether the faculty member shall provide activities of an administrative nature for which the faculty member is deemed qualified; and/or
6. Whether the faculty member will provide additional tutorial laboratory instruction, where a faculty member is teaching two or more sections of courses designed to develop basic skills, whether remedial or supplemental, credit or non-credit or their equivalent in time and/or content as determined by the President or the President’s designee.
Above 31Hours (didactic) or Above 33 Hours (lab/clinical) - If the sum of the instructional workload and reassigned workload is above the 31 hours for instructors teaching all didactic courses or above 33 hours for instructors teaching a lab or a clinical section, then the supervisor will reduce non-instructional work proportionally. These reductions in non-instructional work must be in writing and can either be in advising, office hours, and/or college service.
I have attached a Workload Chart for Article 12 which will help in determining your actual workload.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
