Improving Supervision of Part-Time Instructors
Eney, Patricia R.; Davidson, Evelyn
Journal of Developmental Education, v36 n2 p28-33, 39 Win 2012
With an increasing number of colleges and universities turning to part-time instructors to teach courses at their institutions, developmental education professionals are faced with the task of finding appropriate ways to train, serve, and evaluate these instructors. Unfortunately, there is little published information on how to accomplish these tasks. Therefore, the authors have drawn on best practices and research in the field to develop recommendations for supervising part-time instructors.
