Philadelphia Area Adjunct Instructor Needed - A+ (1101 and 1102) - Fall 2024

[Andrea W.]

Hello,

Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA, is currently seeking an adjunct instructor (or instructors) for Fall 2024 interested in teaching in-person Introduction to Hardware and Perpherials (A+ 1101) and Applied Operating Systems (A+ 1102). The courses are scheduled to run MWF and are in 1-hour blocks. Time is to be determined. There is an opportunity to teach one day a week synchronously/asynchronously. A Master Degree or Higher is necessary.

Opportunities for teaching in Spring 2025 may also be available for Database Design/Implementation and Database Security. Both courses have the potential for DataSys+ integration.

Please private message your resume if any of these courses are of interest.

Thank you!
Andrea

Masters Degree to train an A+ student?

Hi Fanuel,

Since it is an adjunct teaching position, our institution requires at least a master's degree.

Thank you.

How many years' experience equals a Master's Degree?

Good point. I have more than 20 years of experience. How much does the average Master's Degree graduate have?

20 minutes maybe? but my guess would be way less than that.
All jokes aside; it’s based in the institution requirements they have to meet for anyone to teach any courses.
I used to teach at a 4-year degree college back in the early 2000’s that didn’t have the stringent restrictions in place ( mainly because it was a small 5 campus private college)
They then got bought out by a much larger entity and then forced the requirement of master or better to teach.. at that time I didn’t have any, only certifications. So then I went into banking for a while…
Degrees are nice to have when you are teaching at universities, some of them will allow you to teach certification classes without them however.. sound like this one is not one of them.
I’m sure they will find qualified master degree folks that want to work MWF for 1 hour at a time onsite.

For me, it is 1992 onward, with WordPerfect 5.1 and MS Excel v3.0. They could end up with a Master's Degree holder who is not fully versed in modern technologies

I saw something about CISSP being equivalent to Masters Degree in the UK, so maybe if you have CASP+ that would do as well?

I have the CASP+, CISM, and CISSP. But no Master's degree.
