To Prospective Instructors: We are pleased that you are seriously considering instructing/leading a class for us! CSC offers two eight-week semesters annually, one in the fall and one in the spring. We also have a shorter semester in the winter. Classes usually meet once a week for two hours. We strive for balance in our courses, offering a variety of subjects, formats, and locations. Most of our Knox County classes are held at University College, Rockland on Fridays. We have a morning session from 9:30 to 11:30, and an afternoon session from 1:00 to 3:00. Time slots may also be available on other days in the Knox County area, including the Camden Library. Lincoln County classes are held in the Damariscotta area, at locations such as Schooner Cove and Chase Point on the Miles Health Care Campus, the Lincoln Home in Newcastle, Skidompha Library and the C.L.C. Ambulance Building. These classes usually adhere to the same time schedule as those in Knox County. We request that you thoroughly read and respond to all the questions on the proposal form. [Repeating instructors need only click here for a simplified form.] Experience has told us that the clearer our classes are described, the greater the student satisfaction. Use NA where/when applicable, and use TBD (to be determined) if you have not finalized a guest speaker, for example, or settled on a text. Be as specific as you can, and attach a syllabus or course outline if you have prepared one. Proposals not received in a timely fashion may mean your class will not be offered. Leading a group should be an exciting adventure for you – an opportunity to delve into a subject for which you have enthusiasm, passion, and interest. You are not expected to be or to become the world’s most definitive expert in your subject. Rather, we seek individuals who have the skill and discipline to lead a group of active participants, who, like you, are eager to probe, learn, and discuss. As an instructor/facilitator, you will be volunteering your time, but you will be our guest at an end-of-term luncheon, and may take a free course with us. Book certificates from local book stores are also offered to instructors as a small token of our appreciation. There is a body of information profiling the senior learner. If you wish to talk with one of our faculty members or receive more information, please call any one on the board. See the Maine Senior College Network for more information about senior learning in Maine. If you wish to print a proposal form for further review, click here. |
