Candidates will be provided dates and times to participate in a classroom observation. As part of finalizing the details for an observation, candidates will need to complete an acceptable criminal background check.

• Candidate will have time to review course materials, syllabi, and meet with faculty
• Complete applicable criminal background check form(s)
• Observe a class within the subject area of interest
  • This could consist of 1 to 3 hours of lecture and also a lab session (as applicable)
  • For Basic education, candidates typically observe a Green Bay campus offering and an off-site location offering which totals 1 to 3 hours of lecture

Step 3: Interview & Teaching Demonstration

Plan for the interview and teaching demonstration to take approximately 90 minutes.

As part of the teaching demonstration, candidates will prepare a 10-15 minute lecture in their area of expertise that will include a short activity and/or handout. Candidates will present to faculty and the Dean/Associate Dean who oversee that instructional area.  This team will assess instructional style, effectiveness, and quality of instruction.  The topic for presentation will be provided prior with ample time to prepare. 

Step 4: Final Paperwork, Official Transcripts, and Mandatory Training  

If a candidate successfully completes the hiring process, they will be extended a formal offer of hire.  All paperwork related to hiring and official transcripts will need to be submitted to the NWTC Human Resources Department. Next, new employees will be required to sign up and complete the mandatory “New Part-time Faculty On Boarding and Technology Training”.   This provides an opportunity to meet college staff, learn about College standards and resources, in addition to meeting other new part-time faculty.
