Jonathan is not currently employed in the Wisconsin Technical College System as an adjunct faculty member. He is interested in becoming certified to teach. He finds
the Staff Directory on the website and makes contact with the Dean/Associate Dean in his area of interest. The Dean/Associate Dean will need a resume and possibly a transcript to determine his eligibility for certification. Based on that review and the types of course(s) taught he would follow the scenarios above.
