      Job Goal: To provide leadership for learning at the adult classroom level
      Reports to: Adult Education Coordinator
      Pay: $25.48/hr. This is a part-time postion and offers no benefits.

      Essential Skills:
      • Communications Skills: As well as the traditional communication skills of
      reading, speaking and writing coherently and clearly, social media
      communication skills and proper protocols of online engagement are
      essential. These might include the ability to create a short YouTube video to
      capture the demonstration of a process or to make a sales pitch, the ability to
      reach out through the internet to a wide community of people with one’s
      ideas, to receive and incorporate feedback, to share information appropriately,
      and to identify trends and ideas from elsewhere;
      • The Ability to Learn Independently: This means taking responsibility for
      working out what you need to know, and where to find that knowledge. This is
      an ongoing process in knowledge-based work, because the knowledge base
      is constantly changing. it could be learning about new equipment, new ways
      of doing things, or learning who are the people you need to know to get the
      job done;
      • Ethics and Responsibility: This is required to build trust (particularly
      important in informal social networks), in a world where there are many
      different players, and a greater degree of reliance on others to accomplish
      one’s own goals;
      • Teamwork and Flexibility: This depends heavily on collaboration and the
      sharing of knowledge with others in related but independent organizations.
      Teachers need to know how to work collaboratively, virtually, and at a
      distance, with colleagues, students and partners. The ‘pooling’ of collective
      knowledge, problem-solving and implementation requires good teamwork
      and flexibility in taking on tasks or solving problems that may be outside a
      narrow job definition but necessary for success;
      • Thinking Skills (critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, originality,
      strategizing): Of all the skills needed in a knowledge-based society, these are
      some of the most important. Teachers dealing with students, parents and the
      general public need to be able to identify needs and find appropriate
      solutions;
      • Digital Skills: Most knowledge-based activities depend heavily on the use of
      technology. These skills need to be embedded within the knowledge domain
      in which the activity takes place. Thus, the use of digital technology needs to
      be integrated with and evaluated through the knowledge-base of the subject
      area incorporating digital skills to analyze, evaluate and interpret as required.
      • Knowledge Management: Knowledge is not only rapidly changing with new
      research, new developments, and rapid dissemination of ideas and practices
      over the internet, but the sources of information are increasing, with a great
      deal of variability in the reliability or validity of the information. The key skill in
      a knowledge-based society is knowledge management: how to find, evaluate,
      analyze, apply and disseminate information, within a particular context.
