About the ECAP Program:

The Early College Admissions Program (ECAP) is a Baltimore County
Public School (BCPS) magnet program that provides students with a
college preparatory program that combines high school and college
in a supportive, yet rigorous educational environment. Through a
partnership with the Community College of Baltimore County,
students will have the opportunity to simultaneously earn a high
school diploma and an Associate of Arts in General Studies degree
or up to 60 credits toward a Bachelor’s degree, which may be
eligible for reciprocal credit at a four-year college or
university. Students will earn credits through course work
completed at both the high school campus and/or at the community
college campus. College credits are tuition free.

Required Scheduling for the ECAP Programs:

Adjunct faculty providing instruction in any of the ECAP programs
require a schedule based on High School hours and faculty must be
able to manage and fully comply with the schedule during the
specific hours during weekdays. Several classes may be required
within one week, as well as the possibility for class rotations
from week to week. A brief orientation may be required prior to
classes commencing.

Communication Studies adjunct faculty are needed to teach
classes for the Community College of Baltimore County at external
locations, such as at local-area high schools or other local,
higher-ed institutions. Adjunct faculty are selected based on
program needs and subject matter expertise of the applicant. Please
note that our greatest need for staffing classes is generally
Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm. Many classes
will require instructors to be available five days per week. There
is limited availability of staffing options beyond these times, but
we stress that these needs are very limited.

CMNS101: Fundamentals of Human Communication introduces the study
of human communication. Students develop an understanding of the
theoretical principles of verbal and nonverbal interaction by
analyzing and applying these principles in a variety of
communication contexts. Areas of study include intrapersonal,
interpersonal, cross-cultural, small group, and public
speaking.

Adjunct faculty will be expected to facilitate learning via
preparation and delivery of instruction, cooperation with college
support staff in timely submission of materials and grades as
required, and coordination of activities with the Program Director
or Coordinator. Adjunct faculty are required to attend meetings, be
available to students outside of class, assist in maintaining
program accreditation, and participate in professional development
related to classroom instruction and pedagogy. Please note that
CCBC-specific trainings may be required before certain class
assignments can be given.
