Job Description

The WRIT 101 (Writing in Professional Contexts) Course Instructor is an important part of the instructional team. With a strong focus on the academic success of every student, team instructors use their subject matter expertise, deep understanding of the curriculum, and student population to: 

1. Identify trends impeding academic success. 
2. Conduct targeted outreach and provide instruction to target groups and 
   individuals. 
3. Build capable learners, confident in their ability to succeed academically and in 
   life. 

Instructors do not develop lessons or assessments, nor do they issue grades to students 
work (grading is handled by a centrally managed pool of qualified Graders). 

Their focus is on the academic success of every student in their care.

 

Important

This is a part-time work-from-home position with the following flexible schedule: 

• 10-12 hours per week (may vary week-to-week) 
• At least 5 days worked each week 
• Required attendance at periodic team meetings (as established by the department)

 

CES Dress and Grooming Expectations 

All online instructors and graders who support BYU-Pathway Worldwide commit to upholding the CES Honor Code in their roles as institutional representatives, leaders, and mentors. 

Employees teach students through example and counsel how to make choices that exemplify these principles and expectations, while recognizing that the roles of employees and students are distinct from each other, and their choices will reflect these differences. 

Employees have a higher standard for dress and grooming. When choosing attire, employees make decisions appropriate for their professional role, responsibilities, purpose, and setting. 

Dress for men and women should: 

• Be modest in fit and style. Dressing in a way that would cover the temple garment is a good guideline, whether or not one has been endowed. Accommodation may be made for athletic participation. 
• Be neat and clean. Sloppy, overly casual, ragged, or extreme clothing is not acceptable. Grooming: 
• Hair should be clean, neat, modest, and avoid extremes in styles and colors. 
• Mens hair should be neatly trimmed. Men should be clean-shaven. If worn, mustaches should be neatly trimmed.
