Below is a list of the courses and a link to their syllabus. First review the syllabus for the courses you feel you are qualified to teach and pay close attention to the Instructor Qualifications that are required of each Instructor. You must meet the Instructor Qualifications to be approved to teach a particular course. Then place an “X” in the corresponding cell (Lead or Staff) for those courses and billet which you qualify for. In each block write one or two paragraphs that have at least one sentence that addresses each of the qualification criteria. Try to address each of the Staff Instructor and Lead Instructor qualification requirement in 2 or 3 paragraphs. Don’t use any bullets or fancy symbols — just periods, spaces, and “returns” between sentences and paragraphs. The easiest method to complete these paragraphs is to look at each qualification and then write as many sentences as necessary indicating how you meet that requirement. By doing so, you will have accurately addressed each requirement and also completed the required paragraphs. Be sure to list all your formal education, your previous teaching experience, previous work experience which directly relates to the course, the previous courses you have taught and those that you have attended and also indicate your ability to successfully teach foreign nationals. It is extremely important that you emphasize and accurately document all of your Instructor Certifications, Instructor Development Courses/Certifications, the certifying agency(s), and the number of years of instructor experience for each block. Do not copy and paste from one course to another as the requirements are different for each course and billet. If you qualify for a Lead Instructor position you should automatically qualify for a Staff Instructor Billet.
