Payment for high school faculty teaching college courses to dual credit students

[Pam Campbell]

Good morning!  Please respond to the questions below.  I am trying to develop a procedure and set of policies for paying high school faculty for teaching college courses to dual credit students.  Here are my questions:

1. Does your institution use high school faculty to deliver instruction to high school students enrolled in college courses for which the students will receive both high school and college credit?
2. If so, is the instruction considered part of the high school teacher's regular teaching load during the school day?  Do you compensate the high school faculty with a stipend for teaching the college course?  If so, what is the amount of the stipend?
3. If the course is not considered part of the high school teacher's regular teaching load, do you pay them the regular adjunct salary for that course?
4. Do you have an agreement where your institution pays the ISD rather than the individual faculty member?
5. Do you require that the high school faculty participate in any kind of professional development at your institution or teach at the college prior to delivering the instruction at the high school?

I appreciate very much any and all information that you can share.

Thanks,

At TVCC we do offer dual credit at the high school using qualified hs faculty.  Those classes are considered part of the hs faculty load and we do not pay the faculty.  Instead, we pay the ISD $500 per course.  Currently, we invite/recommend the faculty attend our professional development activities and many of them do.  We do not require that the high school faculty teach at TVCC prior to teaching an embedded class at the high school.

Pam,

Currently, the vast majority of our dual credit classes are taught by our adjuncts who are paid according to our adjunct salary scale.  We have a few high school faculty who teach our dual credit classes, and for some it is part of their high school load.  For others it is outside their high school load and so we pay them the normal adjunct pay.  We are trying to help high schools encourage more of their SACS-qualified teachers to apply to teach our courses as part of their high school load, which would shift some of the personnel costs to the ISDs.  We expect all of our dual credit faculty (whether ISD teachers or ACC adjuncts) to be fully engaged with our departments - participating in the annual faculty evaluation process, meeting our requirements for annual professional development, attending department meetings if they like, etc.   We have a couple of departments that require campus-based teaching prior to teaching in a high school setting, but that is not a college-wide expectation.

Hope this helps.

Subject: {TCCIA} Payment for high school faculty teaching college courses to dual credit students

Good morning!  Please respond to the questions below.  I am trying to develop a procedure and set of policies for paying high school faculty for teaching college courses to dual credit students.  Here are my questions:

1. Does your institution use high school faculty to deliver instruction to high school students enrolled in college courses for which the students will receive both high school and college credit?[GBW]   We have a blended method.  If an ISD has SACSOC qualified faculty for subject matter, we very well may utilized them.  However, we employ these individuals on a part time basis paying the same rate as any adjunct instructor.  It is up to the school district regarding release time to teach.  Also, we send faculty to dual credit sites (both full time and adjunct).  I am hiring an full time faculty member for fall that will be dedicated totally to dual credit English.
2. If so, is the instruction considered part of the high school teacher's regular teaching load during the school day?  Do you compensate the high school faculty with a stipend for teaching the college course?  If so, what is the amount of the stipend?[GBW]   As mentioned, it is up to the school district for release time.  These faculty must go through the same inservice training, and same protocols as any other part time faculty member.  We pay $570 per credit hour. 
3. If the course is not considered part of the high school teacher's regular teaching load, do you pay them the regular adjunct salary for that course?[GBW]  We pay the teacher the same whether or not the school district determines reduction…we interpret the rules of SACSCOC and HB5 as requiring that we employ the teacher, not pay the school district.
4. Do you have an agreement where your institution pays the ISD rather than the individual faculty member?[GBW]  No.
5. Do you require that the high school faculty participate in any kind of professional development at your institution or teach at the college prior to delivering the instruction at the high school?[GBW]  They are required all the same training as all other adjunct faculty to continue employment. 

I appreciate very much any and all information that you can share.

Thanks,

Pam,

 

We have the same arrangement at Northeast (NTCC) with respect to dual credit that Brent has described at NCTC (except we pay a little less…$533 per contact hour.)  In certain cases we have also developed arrangements where we deliver content online using a SACS qualified instructor-of-record and hire coaches to work with the students on-site under the direction of our instructor.  Coaches are paid $600 dollars under this scenario.

4. Do you have an agreement where your institution pays the ISD rather than the individual faculty member? Not that I'm aware of. . .
   
5. Do you require that the high school faculty participate in any kind of professional development at your institution or teach at the college prior to delivering the instruction at the high school? Yes.  Dual credit faculty are expected to attend fall and spring adjunct convocations, and we also host a dual credit instructor training session during the summer.
   

I appreciate very much any and all information that you can share.

1 and 5. Collin College does use college credentialed HS teachers to teach college classes at the high schools who have taught for the college in the past. Typically this means that if the HS teacher is already an adjunct for the college (separate from dual credit), then the HS teacher can teach dual credit for the college. The same professional development opportunities and requirements apply to HS dual credit teachers as it does to adjunct faculty.

2, 3, and 4. The HS determines whether or not it is a part of the HS teachers regular HS load. In some cases the HS determines that the course is not a part of the teachers HS load and we pay the teacher the standard adjunct pay ($2244) and dual credit stipend ($515). In most cases the HS determines that the course is a part of the teachers HS load and we pay the ISD the standard adjunct pay and dual credit stipend. In this case the HS uses passes the payment onto the HS teacher.
