Delaware has all teacher salaries tied to a state system and the Adult Education teacher salaries are linked to the teacher salary scale. If a person is hired on a full-time basis in any state agency, then they get benefits on their part time adult education salaries. Any person who is employed less than 30 hours does not get full-time benefits. Our adult education instructors stay.
Continuity is very helpful.
Still, as part timers there are still issues related to adjunct status. We should not forget that full time status with excellent salaries does not solve many problems. If it did, K-12 education would be a paradise. I find that adjunct status for instructors may not be the problem in and of itself. Part of the issue may be the system itself which does not provide the kind of support to enable instructors to be highly successful.
