Most of our instructors are part-time and teach in community locations two or three evenings or days per week. Our goal over the next five years is to create more full-time or benefited positions in the program. This will involve consolidating some locations into learning center environments to offer classes four or five days/nights a week and combining decentralized teaching locations in order to offer full-time hours to an instructor. We would appreciate hearing from other ABE programs who have gone through a similar restructuring process so we can implement any steps/methods that worked for you, but also avoid any mistakes you may have made. Please share any relevant information on this from your experience, including issues that we should expect to encounter. We'd also like to hear from programs that employ large numbers of part-time instructors and hear how you handle staff development, communications, networking, etc. Please respond directly to Mary.Hannaman@riomail.maricopa.edu Thank you for the time you will take to read and respond to this.
