Lone Star College System Faculty Workload Guidelines

Effective Fall 2008, Revised May 2011

Teaching Assignment The teaching part of the faculty assignment is calculated on contact hours in accordance with the Discipline Profile (See Appendix A). The workload standard for a faculty member that teaches in more than one discipline will be based on the primary teaching field (the one they were hired under unless are reclassified to another discipline). Deans/directors may adjust these hours for faculty who elect a negotiated workload. Adjunct loads are listed on the discipline profile (Appendix A) and cannot be exceeded. Adjunct assignments taught in more than one discipline are based on an average of the full-time teaching loads and are based on 67% of the FT load. Adjunct loads cannot exceed 67% within a 4.5 month period. See Appendix A for an example.

Full-time Faculty Workload Model Full-time faculty workload consists of responsibilities identified in the three components of the position description each with a recommended percentage. They are:

• Learning Facilitation—70% (Includes workload responsibilities associated with serving students such as: teaching, planning, evaluating, advising and counseling)

• Institutional Service—20% (Includes collateral responsibilities that support LSCS in achieving its goals such as serving on committees, mentoring faculty, recruiting, developing curriculum and supporting administrative functions, representation of LSCS in the community on boards and committees)

• Professional Development—10% (Includes workload responsibilities associated with addressing growth and change such as participating in the evaluation process, attending workshops, enrolling in programs of study and contributing to one's profession)

Faculty have an option of either a traditional or a negotiated workload with a minimum of twenty-one hours per week devoted to learning facilitation.

• Traditional WorkloadA workload assignment consisting of responsibilities in all three components of the faculty position description (70% for learning facilitation; 20% for institutional service; and 10% for professional development) and a teaching assignment according to the discipline profile including a minimum of twenty-one hours per week devoted to serving students. Course workload can be comprised of face-to-face, hybrid, and/or online courses based on dean recommendation and VPI approval.

• Negotiated Workload - An individualized workload assignment based on division goals and consisting of responsibilities in all three components of the faculty position description with a recommended weight of 70% for learning facilitation; 20% for institutional service; and 10% for professional development. These

percentages are flexible and may be adjusted to accommodate division and individual goals. See Appendix D for a listing of professional activities that may be included in the three components.

Annual Assignment

• Dean/director is responsible for assigning faculty workload and making recommendations about extra-compensation.

• Division faculty and the administrator collaborate to determine goals and make decisions about faculty workload.

• Workload assignments are calculated for an academic year (9, 10.5, or 12 months) and include activities in all three components of the faculty job description. A total contract period overview can be used to determine workload when partial classes are required to complete a faculty member’s workload. (For example: a semester view for a 320 hour workload requires teaching four 96 contact hour courses resulting in a partial overload of 64 contact hours. A 9 month view allows a faculty member to teach three sections one semester and four sections in the other semester resulting in one less section and an overload of 32 hours.)

• Dean/director makes decisions about negotiated workload based on division goals and priorities, individual preferences, available resources and a concern for fairness and equity.

Work Week (Approved 02/06) Teaching faculty are expected to meet the contact hour requirements for each of the courses assigned in their respective workloads. These requirements included both synchronous and asynchronous instruction. Teaching faculty are expected to have regularly scheduled on-campus office hours of a minimum of five hours per week, preferably one hour per day, for the purpose of assisting students with coursework and advisement. Office hours should be scheduled at reasonable times, which are convenient for students, e.g., before and/or after class meetings. These office hours will be posted and included in course syllabi. It is recognized that teaching faculty may accomplish certain aspects of their teaching responsibilities off-campus, e.g., course preparation, evaluation of student work, computer-based instruction. Therefore, no specific work week hourly requirement shall be assigned to teaching faculty. However, to maximize faculty accessibility for students, it is expected teaching faculty will be on campus a minimum of four days per week and preferably five days. To facilitate the calculations of negotiated workloads, a thirty-five hour faculty work week will be the general guideline. Teaching faculty will allot sufficient time within their work week to fulfill other provisions of their workload, e.g., institutional service and professional development. Office Hours Full-time faculty are expected to post office hours in a place accessible to students. The number and location of scheduled office hours should be sufficient to support student learning, accommodate the number of students, and provide easy access.

Extra Service Compensation Full-time faculty may be eligible to receive additional compensation beyond the base salary in five circumstances

• Payment for one overload (teaching additional classes above the full load for the discipline)

• Acceptance of an approved secondary assignment such as Department Chair, Lead Faculty, or Program Coordinator

• Grant or contract work when paid in accordance with board approved rates • Special Courses/Assignments when paid in accordance with approved rates (see

attachment) • Additional pay for specific, approved, non-teaching assignments

Full-time staff are eligible to teach a single course overload. Deans consider the following factors before recommending extra service compensation: 1. Faculty workload is beyond 100% and includes responsibilities in all three components

of the faculty position description. 2. Faculty make a consistent time commitment beyond a thirty-five hour work week. 3. Except in unusual circumstances or special division initiatives, extra-compensation is

not available for course planning and evaluation activities. 4. Activities leading to extra-compensation are consistent with division goals and require

pre-planning. Non-teaching assignments are described in detail and include an estimated time commitment. Projects include a plan with goals, objectives, and expected outcomes.

5. The faculty member has a teaching assignment equivalent to the discipline standard before receiving extra-compensation for teaching an additional course.

6. Faculty may teach a maximum of one course per semester beyond the standard workload.

7. The Dean is responsible for assuring the quality of instruction when faculty workloads are in excess of the standard, or when compensation is granted for additional assignments.

Calculation of extra-service compensation is according to the following guidelines: • Adjunct hourly rate for teaching additional sections of classes beyond the usual

discipline standard. • Continuing education rate for non-credit classes. • Hourly rate for contract training. • Board approved secondary assignment rates. • Board approved hourly rate for non-teaching assignments (see part-time salary

schedule). Overload Assignments Faculty can request an overload assignment. Overloads are based on college needs, course availability, faculty workload and dean approval. New faculty should be discouraged from teaching an overload and should be exempted from major committee assignments in their first year to focus on teaching.

Double overloads need to be approved by the appropriate college vice president of instruction. (Approved Fall 2009)

Department chairs may be allowed one overload each long semester (fall and spring) based on the overload policy for their specific discipline. Chairs will continue to be able to teach one summer term, December and May mini-mesters. Overloads must be approved by the dean and vice president based on the needs and best interests of the college. Any exceptions must be approved by the college president. (Approved March 2010) Summer Term Teaching Loads Faculty have the choice of teaching the first summer term or the second summer term depending on college needs and course availability. The 10.5 month contracts are intended to provide faculty with the security of a teaching assignment for that period of time, and to allow for physical and mental rest and rejuvenation during the periods not taught. The assignment of full time faculty to additional sections beyond the 10.5 month contract (for example, additional summer term), is strongly discouraged and if taught is paid at the adjunct rate. See Discipline Standard (Appendix A) for summer contact hour loads for both full-time and adjunct faculty. May Minimester (May 2004) A class taught during the May minimester may count toward fulfillment of the summer workload with the following provisions: • Faculty may use the May minimester class in combination with a regular class for

either the first or second summer term (based on college scheduling needs) to make up a summer load.

• If the May minimester class is not used in combination with a regular summer term class, the faculty will be paid at the adjunct rate. The May minimester cannot be used alone to make a summer load.

• The May minimester class may be combined with a Distance Learning class during one of the regular summer terms to make a full summer load. Faculty teaching DL are still expected to be on campus four days per week.

• Faculty are expected to be on campus four days per week regardless of the workload combinations (LSCS Policy with the exception of Study Abroad classes).

• Study Abroad classes may be used to make up part of regular summer load for 10.5 and 12 month faculty. Faculty on 9 month contracts teaching Study Abroad classes during the summer term will be paid at adjunct rates. (updated June 2010)

• Exceptions to any of the provisions listed above must be approved by the College President.

• Adjunct faculty may teach one section during the May minimester. This does not count toward their maximum summer teaching load.

Winter Minimester Courses taught during the winter minimester are not counted toward the full-time faculty workload and are taught at the adjunct rate. Only one section may be taught during the winter minimester. Adjunct faculty can teach one section during the winter minimester.

Exceptions to Faculty Workload Assignments Exceptions to the normal faculty workload assignments may be made by the appropriate college vice-president on a case by case basis.

An annual report of exceptions will be prepared to insure fairness, equity, and consistency across the System. (10/31/02)

Team Teaching Pay (approved 02/06) Turn teaching - Faculty should receive compensation for only that portion (number of contact hours) of the course taught in a turn teaching scenario. Turn Teaching – A course is divided into distinct units. A professor is assigned to each distinct unit. They are only responsible for that particular unit of material. There is little collaboration or coordination. The professor is only in the classroom during his/her specific assigned units. Team teaching - When faculty collaboratively plan, integrate courses, and team teach two or more courses each faculty member should receive full pay for each course section. Both faculty are in the classroom together during the class time. When one course is collaboratively planned and team taught, compensation will be determined by the dean as part of a negotiated workload.

Leave Banking Leave banking is available. Please see Appendix E for information. Standards for Special Courses Applied Music or Private Lessons Private lessons usually involve an extra-service contract based on an hourly rate (see salary schedule)) for each one hour of instruction. In special circumstances, faculty, with approval of the dean, may apply private lessons to the semester workload.

0 - 48 hour MUSI sections plus 19.5 MUAP hours (per week) 1 – 48 hour MUSI section plus 14 MUAP hours (per week) 2 – 48 hour MUSI sections plus 9 MUAP hours (per week) 3 – 48 hour MUSI sections plus 4 MUAP hours (per week)

Contract Training, Continuing Education Courses or Non-credit Courses These courses may be included as part of full-time faculty workload. Percentage of load is based on contact hours. External Learning Experiences (Co-op, Clinical, Internship & Practicum) Four workload funding methods were developed to address co-op, clinical, practicum, and internship sections. Those methods include Full-Teaching Model, Full Preceptor Model, Internship Model, and Co-op. The model was designed to reflect the increased workload on faculty as student enrollments increase versus the number of external hours which affect the student’s time at a worksite. (See appendix C)

• Full-teaching Model: Hours count as full contact hours toward load. • Full-preceptor Model: Faculty are paid 5 contact hours per student times the

adjunct rate. This does not take contact hours into consideration since the model uses the # of students versus increased contact hours to determine faculty load. See Appendix C. Faculty can be paid per student or equated to a course based on the number of students indicated on the chart in Appendix C.

• Internship Model: Faculty are paid 4 contact hours per student times the adjunct rate. This does not take contact hours into consideration since the model uses the # of students versus increased contact hours to determine faculty load. (See Appendix C) Faculty can be paid per student or equated to a course based on the number of students indicated on the chart in Appendix C.

• Co-op Model: Twelve students are considered a full section at 64 contact hours. This is equivalent to 16 lecture hours plus 4 hours per student. For each additional student over twelve students an additional 4 contact hours per student times the adjunct rate will be added (see co-op workload chart).For sections with less than twelve students, pay will be calculated at 4 hours per student plus 16 contact hours times the adjunct rate. Faculty can be paid per student or equated to a course based on the number of students indicated on the chart in Appendix C.

Independent Study Independent Study is defined as “An independent study student does not meet regularly with the instructor. The student works independently with minimum oversight by the instructor.” These courses may be counted as part of full-time faculty workload if the total number of students enrolled including linked sections is similar to the usual class size for the same course taught in the traditional manner. If the number of students is fewer than the minimum necessary to run a class, the faculty member will be paid per student at the adjunct hourly rate. The assumption is that each student requires approximately 4 hours of supervision over the course of the semester (4 hours x number of students x adjunct hourly rate) for courses with 64 contact hours or less. To compensate for larger contact hour courses, instructors will receive 5 contact hours per student for 80 contact hour courses, 6 hours per student for 96 contact hour courses, and 7 hours per student for 112 contact hour courses, etc. Contact hours would be paid at the adjunct rate. Courses with an independent study lecture and with a face-to-face required lab. Faculty would be compensated for the lecture component as listed above plus be paid for the full contact hours for the lab. For example, a 96 contact hour course with 3 hours lecture and 3 hours lab would result in 4 contact hours per student for the lecture component and 48 contact hours for the lab. Courses that require partial labs resulting in less than the full contact hours can be negotiated to fall within the range established above. Small class sizes – if a small class is approved to continue by the appropriate instructional dean or VPI, the instructor will be paid the full rate for the course. The instructor would be present in an instructional capacity for all contact hours. Online Learning Faculty Load Guidelines Faculty may teach 100% hybrid/online or combination with dean recommendation and VPI approval. Faculty are still expected to be on campus to fulfill institutional service and professional development workload requirements. Assignments are to be reviewed each semester based on student demand/success analysis, department, division needs, and dean assessment of performance. (Approved March 2010)

Study Abroad Study Abroad classes may be used to make up part of regular summer load for 10.5 and 12 month faculty. The remaining course load cannot be taught simultaneously. Faculty on 9 month contracts teaching Study Abroad classes during the summer term will be paid at adjunct rates. Faculty teaching Study Abroad classes during mini-semesters will be paid at adjunct rates unless the course is part of their 10.5 or 12 month summer load. (Approved June 2010).

*combined art lecture & art studio load is calculated at the 288 hour workload requirement. Note: Combined adjunct load in disciplines with different workload requirements are calculated at 67% of the FT load. Add up the hours teaching and the FT loads and then divide to see if it is more than 66.6 (67)% Example Business section 48 ct. hrs. FT faculty load 240 ct. hrs. Business section 48 ct. hrs. FT faculty load 240 ct. hrs. POFT section 80 ct. hrs. FT faculty load 320 ct. hrs. Total teaching 176 – average load 800 ct. hrs. (sum divided by 3) = 266 ct. hrs. 67% of 266 ct. hours = 178 ct. hrs. – an adjunct instructor in this scenario could teach up to 178 ct. hours per semester.

Note: LSC Staff are limited to one section per semester.

*EMS courses with combined hospital and ambulance placements are calculated at 4.5 contact hours per student. *Combination of full preceptor and full-teaching. Comparison of compensation among the proposed Co-op, Full Preceptor, & Internship models using the following calculations: Co-op model - Twelve students are considered a full section at 64 contact hours. This is equivalent to 16 lecture hours plus 4 hours per student. For each additional student over twelve students an additional 4 contact hours per student times the adjunct rate will be added. For sections with less than ten students, pay will be calculated at 4 hours per student times the adjunct rate plus 16 contact hours times the adjunct rate. Clinical (full preceptor model) - faculty will be paid 5 contact hours per student times the adjunct rate. Clinical (internship model) - faculty will be paid 4 contact hours per student times the adjunct rate. Pay associated with a specific number of students can be equated to a number of contact hours to include course as part of a full-time instructor’s load. See bolded amounts in each column for equivalent 48 and 64 contact hour courses. # of Students Co-op Model

APPENDIX E

LEAVE BANKING PROGRAM* (Effective Fall 1999)

1. Definition

Leave Banking is a program in which eligible full-time personnel may defer compensation for extra service teaching assignments in return for future release time with pay. Extra service for purposes of this program includes any extra service contract to teach an additional credit course. Non-teaching assignments are not included except under special circumstances. It is understood that in exchange for foregoing compensation, such advance service will supplant the participant’s subsequent load in an agreed upon future semester. Consequently, a participant may “bank” sufficient advance load credits to earn a semester of approved professional leave at full pay. For this program, a semester of banked leave is equivalent to a full-time faculty semester assignment plus 3 additional contact hours. A participant must accrue the entire amount before a leave is granted. The program does not allow for a partial reduction in workload.

2. Purpose

The purpose of the Leave Banking Program is to encourage and facilitate professional development and renewal and to allow for scheduling flexibility. The teaching load reduction, which accrues to a participating member in an agreed-upon term, shall be used for activities at the discretion of the participating member.

3. Eligibility

a. Teaching Faculty Full-time teaching faculty on multiyear contracts (after three years of continuous full-time faculty service) or other full-time personnel who are qualified to teach and have been employed in the District for three years or longer are eligible to bank up to a full-time faculty semester assignment plus 3 additional contact hours.

b. Librarian and Counselor Faculty

Because the workload for librarian and counseling faculty is predominately non-course based, an individualized plan will be necessary for participation in the Leave Banking Program. A committee of librarians and counseling staff, working in conjunction with the Human Resources Department, will be responsible for developing processes for these unique situations to ensure consistency and fairness across the district.

4. Procedure

a. Any eligible full-time employee may participate in the Leave Banking Program. Participation in the program does not change the maximum number of contact hours, which a faculty member may carry in a given semester. All leaves earned through this program shall be covered through extra service compensation (such as adjunct compensation or overload pay) unless the college president deems it necessary to supplement with a full-time or partial faculty contract.

b. During a period of earned professional leave accrued from the banking of approved

extra-service assignments, the participating employee receives full pay (pay rate at the time of leave) and benefits with no loss of longevity status for benefits purposes.

c. No time limit is placed on the banking or use of extra-service assignments. d. A full semester leave may not be taken more than once in any five-year period. e. In the nine-month academic year, a member may bank overload hours taught during

that academic year. A member may also bank any courses taught during the summer or mini-semesters.

f. The absolute total number of banked hours may not exceed the equivalent of ½ of

the full-time participant’s academic 9-month normal load plus 3 additional contact hours. Examples are:

• 9-month course load for History, Government, and Math is 10 courses. One-half of

10 plus 3 additional contact hours equals 6 courses. A participant would have to bank 6 courses in order to be approved for 1 full semester leave with full pay. If the last banked course taught during the semester when sufficient credits are earned for a semester off is more than 3 contact hours, the participant will be paid for all contact hours that exceed three.

• 9-month normal load for most science disciplines is 6 courses. One-half of 6 plus 3 additional contact hours equals 4 courses. The participant would be paid for 3 contact hours upon completion of the 4th course since the last course is six contact hours and only 3 additional contact hours are required to complete the requirements for a full semester leave with full pay.

g. The banked extra-service compensation, computed at the faculty payment rate in

effect at the time the banked assignment is deferred, is held in a special account. Such deferred compensation is paid in full to the participating faculty member at such time as he/she may choose to discontinue participation in the program, fail to meet the eligibility requirements, become disabled, or terminate employment in the college district. If termination in the program is voluntary, such deferred compensation is paid in full in January of the next calendar year after written notification by the participant of his/her election to discontinue participation in the program. If termination is involuntary, then all banked deferred compensation will be paid in full within sixty (60) days of written notification of the president. Deferred compensation is paid to the estate of a participating faculty member upon his/her death. Any payment of the deferred compensation will be at the same rate it would have been paid at the time the banked assignment was deferred and will not include interest.

h. The leave participant and the immediate supervisor will confirm the intention to use the leave at least two semesters before the beginning of the semester in which the banked leave will be used by completion of the required form (entire summer counts as one semester). A request to change the semester will be approved if it can be accommodated administratively. Changes in semesters of leave will be accommodated to the degree permitted by the efficient operation of the program. The Vice-President of Instruction must grant final approval.

i. While on banked leave, the faculty member may not receive extra service contracts

from the district or bank more leave.

j. This type of leave can not be taken in conjunction with other types of paid leave.

k. The leave-banking program will be reviewed annually by the Vice-President of Instruction, deans, and faculty participating in the program.

l. Income tax and deductions for retirement contributions on the earnings are payable when the leave is taken or when the faculty member receives the actual earnings.
