Reynolds Community College has an outstanding opportunity for a part-time instructor for the Paralegal Studies program. Instructors serve a key role in engaging with students, serving as subject matter experts, presenting learning content, and assessing whether learners have achieved course competencies. Reynolds paralegal students consistently say that the instructor is the single most important element of their course.
We are expanding our instructor pool for all program courses and are currently accepting applications on an ongoing basis. Classes are offered in various modalities in the evenings, 6:30-8:00 PM, during Fall, Spring and Summer semesters via Zoom.
