The IC will work with the Activities Director and Project Manager to develop the new program within grant guidelines.

As Instructional Coordinator, the successful candidate will (1) demonstrate ability to write curriculum and syllabi, and be responsible for student learning outcomes, grading rubrics and assessment rubrics for courses in film production, film business, and film aesthetics at the undergraduate level; (2) confirm that created materials meet accreditation standards for WASC and NASAD; (3) have extensive experience in the feature film business; and (4) have extensive contacts within the film industry. A normal course load is four courses per semester; however, release time will be provided for the Instructional Coordinator’s duties.
