Job Description

Instructors teach students to understand the fundamentals, technical aspects, and concepts of the subject matter. More importantly, they prepare students to utilize this understanding practically in the workforce.

To accomplish this, instructors foster a collaborative, inclusive learning environment developed to support the success of all UCLA Extension students coming from a wide range of educational, personal, and professional backgrounds.
