Department/Division purpose (brief description of main function):

The mission of the Department of Biological and Physical Sciences at Pueblo Community College is to increase the science foundation among our diverse student population. By instilling basic scientific skills and knowledge and facilitating analytical thinking, clear expression of ides, and interpersonal skills, the Science Department provides the foundation for students to succeed in their college and career goals.

Job Summary Statement (brief summary of overall responsibility of position):

All faculty job descriptions incorporate and utilize the principals and tools of continuous improvement by and through the assessment of student learning. This is the foundation of our accreditation through the Academic Quality Improvement Program. Launched by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) in 1999, the program offers an alternative reaccreditation pathway emphasizing continuous quality improvement. The HLC's Handbook for Accreditation summarizes the program as follows: "The Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) infuses the principles and benefits of continuous improvement into the culture of colleges and universities by providing an alternative process through which an already-accredited institution can maintain its accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission.”   Pueblo Community College embraces continuous improvement and has adopted it as its culture and as a necessary part of every job description.  In addition, all job descriptions require the utilization of available technology in the completion of the duties. This position specifically exists to provide classroom/lab/on-line instruction in physics courses under the supervision of the department chairperson. Faculty will be expected to prepare/plan and teach several different physics courses and teach classes at various dates/times per the department schedule, to include evening, weekend, online and special length courses. Faculty must be knowledgeable in physics as well as chemistry.  This position requires experience and working knowledge of common PC programs including Microsoft Office components (PowerPoint, Word, and Excel), Outlook, and this position requires experience and/or willingness to adopt classroom technology.   Faculty are required to observe campus, division and department policies/procedures, advise students, attend professional development, and serve on committees.
