Teaching - Westside Extension

Thank you for your interest in teaching for Westside Extension, the Community Services Program at West Los Angeles College. We offer not-for-credit classes in a wide variety of fields. Classes may range in duration from single-session seminars to three or four meetings; occasionally, language, recreational and performing arts classes run longer. The classes we currently offer are representative of the types that we wish to offer in the future, so we encourage you to review them before submitting a course proposal. Just click on Browse Courses to see them.

Instructors are paid on an hourly basis, beginning at $20 per hour. Our program serves an area that includes Culver City, Mar Vista, Westchester, Marina del Rey, Inglewood, Ladera Heights, the Crenshaw District, and other areas in West Los Angeles. Our students are generally working adults, so classes are usually scheduled during the evening Monday through Thursday, or during the morning or afternoon on Saturdays and some Sundays.

We accept course proposals all year-round, but only do new course development three times a year (refer to the chart below). The majority of adult classes are developed for the Spring and Summer semesters and we only develop College for Kids classes for the Summer. We do very little class development for the Fall. Your proposal will be reviewed by a committee, considering such things as potential interest, available facilities, and compatibility with our existing offerings.

Semester Classes Offered Development Primary Focus

Spring Jan. to May October & Nov. Adult Classes

Summer June to August March & early April Adult & College for Kids

Fall Mid Sept. to early Dec. June & early July Adult classes only

To submit a Course Proposal packet, please complete the following forms: Course Proposal, Instructor Information Sheet and Title V form. If you are proposing more than one course, then you will need to complete a separate Course Proposal form and Title V form for each class.

Feel free to attach other materials to these forms if you think they will help us evaluate your proposal. Information on similar classes you have taught is valuable. Also include a list of any required materials and materials fees. If we schedule an interview, we will want you to bring the materials for our review. If we are interested in your proposal, we will contact you to schedule a time to meet with us for further discussion.

Return the forms by mail, by fax, or in person. They may be submitted in person to the Westside Extension office, located in the large bungalow at the back of Parking Lot 5, West Los Angeles College.
