Full-time faculty load is defined by KCTCS Administrative Policies and Procedures (Policies),
2.11 Work Load [7]
and 2.11.1 Work Load for
KCTCS Colleges [8].
Full-time teaching load is defined as fifteen semester credit hours per term (or thirty semester credit hours per academic
year). When determining faculty loads, BSCTC considers courses classified as laboratory and/or clinical that involve
additional contact hours. The maximum number of contact hours per week for a full-time occupational/technical instructor
shall be determined by the chief executive officer but shall not exceed thirty (30). Faculty course load may be altered
based on other assignments such as reassigned time for administrative duties. Associate Deans typically receive fifteen
hours reassigned time per semester for administrative duties. A detailed listing of faculty teaching assignments with
pertinent information for Spring 2007, Fall 2006, and
Spring 2005 is provided
[9]
[10]
[11].
In addition to teaching assignments, faculty also have advising responsibilities. Following is a table listing faculty with

All full-time faculty participate in an annual performance review. Faculty use the Planning and Performance Evaluation
(PPE) Form to identify goals/expected results for each of the following five areas as applicable: 1) position
responsibilities, 2) internal service, 3) external service, 4) professional development, and 5) leadership. The PPE
document is also used to report accomplishments and plan for
improved performance [12].
Part-time faculty evaluation is an on-going process which includes Student Evaluation of Instruction for each course taught
and assessment of quality and need by the corresponding Associate Dean.
BSCTC follows the process set forth by KCTCS Administrative Policies and Procedures Policies,
2.3 KCTCS Faculty
Search/Appointments/Orientation [13]
which requires the identification and authorization of a vacant position, a description and documentation of the current
essential functions of that position, the advertising and recruitment for that position, when hiring a full and/or part-time
candidate for instruction.
