Civilian Managerial and Supervisory Training Instructor

The CLDS’ mission is to provide civilian undergraduate and professional continuing education and workforce development integrated with the Total Force. The CLDS uses a blended learning approach to online courses. This is sometimes referred to as hybrid learning, also known as technology-mediated instruction, web-enhanced instruction, or mixed-mode instruction, and is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with physical place-based classroom methods. In addition, the CLDS conducts courses that are resident learning (in our brick-and-mortar facility located on Maxwell AFB), along with multiple other types of learning as needed (e.g., synchronous, asynchronous, collaboration, etc.)

The contractor shall provide instructors that can deliver curricula in both an online and resident environment. All instructors will maintain personal lesson plans, update presentations (e.g., PowerPoint etc.) as needed, and use various instructional methods as appropriate.  They must also facilitate group exercises/discussions/activities through resident instruction as well as synchronous and asynchronous online classrooms and learning management systems, monitor participant progress and account for participant activity/participation in both the resident and distance learning environments. Online classes may include open enrollment and self-paced events enabling students to enroll at any time during a specified course window. Other courses may consist of multiple sessions to meet the student demand and follow strict enrollment and course delivery dates.  The instructors must also monitor grading and respond to student questions, give feedback, and provide remediation to students as needed. They will engage with students via phone, email, and/or Government-provided learning and communication platforms to resolve course- related issues and help students make satisfactory progress as required. At the completion of each course, or when requested, provide Student Support a roster of students who have completed all graduation requirements.

One (1) year of online instruction experience at the undergraduate level or military equivalent using locally approved LMS (e.g., Canvas, Air Force myLearning, MS Teams, or similar technologies) is mandatory.

Two (2) years of supervisory, leadership, and/or management teaching experience is mandatory. Work experience can be submitted as this qualification; however, it is preferred to be federal (especially DAF) civilian employee or comparable.
