Nuts & Bolts This section contains information to support your efforts and to maximize efficiency with communication. Generally speaking, most questions should be directed to the Community Education Coordinator that has been working directly with you, so feel free to reach out to them any time.
Before Class Starts Marketing We encourage our instructors to market and promote their classes via flyer, social media, word of mouth, and other creative outlets. Please contact Allison Lamplugh in our Extended Learning Marketing Department to discuss your needs. We can assist you with marketing materials to fit your needs, like creating PDFs or PNGs for outreach efforts.
Keys Keys are issued on an as needed basis and are dependent upon the facility and the times of the day in which you teach. Please ask your Coordinator if keys are needed at your location. If they are needed, you will need to follow the check-out protocol and make sure the keys are returned immediately following any breaks you may have in teaching. Be aware: lost keys may result in a hefty fine.
Identification Cards All employees are required to obtain an LBCC-issued photo identification card and are required to display the card in a readily visible place at all times while working on any LBCC campus or extended location. High activity classes like fitness, dance, and a few others have an exception to this rule, but you would still need to have your badge easily accessible.
Tour Classroom Visit your classroom before you begin teaching. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the spaces you will be teaching in and anticipate your instructional needs. Some questions to consider: Does it have the A/V equipment you require? Do you know how to get in? If it is a
partner facility, have you been properly oriented with their staff? It is always best to know your space so you avoid being unprepared for the surprises that could have been easily avoided. Please ask your Community Education Coordinator to assist with making introductions and/or to preview the facilities you plan to teach in. It is always good to identify a go-to person, including their contact information, in the event you need assistance with anything.
Media Equipment & Technology Our LBCC classrooms come with standard technology for your use, including a laptop/PC, projector, speakers, document camera and screen. Most fitness centers have some audio support for playing music. Should you need something specific, please inquire with a Coordinator. We do our best to schedule you in a location that best suits your needs. Keep in mind that offsite partner locations may have limitations.
Texts, Supplies, and Supply Lists We post supply lists to the LBCC web site. We can add supply fees to courses to cover the costs of materials you may need to purchase. Fees need to be coordinated with your CE Coordinator at the time classes are being coordinated. When purchasing items for your classes, please save the receipts as you will need to turn them in to your CE Coordinator with your signature on the original. If your class requires printed texts, i.e. textbooks & books, please let us know. In most cases our bookstores can arrange to make those available, but we need a minimum of six weeks notice to coordinate the texts you need.
Accessing Resources Print Much of your printing needs can be taken care of at each of the Centers you work from or nearby. In some cases, with larger print quantities, it is necessary to use LBCC Print Services. Please allow at least two weeks for all orders and requests to be completed. If you work at a partner location, please make arrangements with the nearest Center for your printing needs. Whatever your situation, you will get best results by planning ahead. Copyright​: Be sure to arrange for clearance of any copyrighted material you want to copy and use in the classroom.
Field Trips ● Permission Field trips for classes are a possibility. If the field trip requires travel to an off-site location or event, please make sure this is coordinated well in advance so it can be properly advertised to all students. If there is any additional costs associated with these types of field trips, they need to be built into the cost of the class. Please check college rules for guidelines for traveling with students, vehicle rental, driver approval, and for required risk acknowledgement waivers. In some cases, informal, outside of regularly scheduled class gatherings occur. It is important that it is clear that if it is not part of the scheduled class, it is a non-LBCC activity, in which our liability insurance will not cover incidents or accidents for you or our students.
Volunteers ● Liability Waiver There are situations when volunteers help us with our classes. If there is an unpaid and/or unregistered volunteer in your class, it is important that they complete the Volunteer Form B. Please notify your CE Coordinator if you think you will need a volunteer and when the form is completed, please turn it into the CE Coordinator for our records. We will submit it to Public Safety.
Confidentiality ● Student Student Records Disclosure The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) restrict the manner in which confidential records are handled. (See page 16 for more on FERPA.) Staff and faculty with access to student educational records are legally responsible for protecting the privacy of the student by using information only when necessary to instruct, advise, or otherwise assist the student with educational needs. LBCC normally considers the following information to be directory information: student’s name, address, telephone listing, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of athletes, dates of attendance, school enrollment, and degrees and awards received. If a student has not requested confidentiality, the above listed information could be released to a third party. If a student has requested confidentiality, none of this information can be released.
● CFAR Center For Accessibility Resources provides assistance to students who have documented disabilities by: ● Reviewing documentation, provided by the student, that provides evidence of disability ● Planning reasonable accommodations ● Coordinating services in the classroom ● Providing support i.e. assistive technology, testing accommodations, and classroom accommodations ● Success coaching and advocating
If you have a student with a disability and feel that they will need accommodations as a student at Linn-Benton Community College, the Center For Accessibility Resources is here to support you. Students are eligible to use their approved accommodations in every class (traditional lecture, online, Community Education sponsored, etc.), lab, clinical/field experience, club/co-curricular/student life activity, play, Cooperative Work Experience, Learn and Earn, Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Accelerated Short Term Training classes held at, or sponsored by, any Linn-Benton Community College campus. Contact: 541-917-4749 or cfar@linnbenton.edu. Notification Packet Prior to each term, each instructor is provided a Notification Packet which includes information about the upcoming term including your expected pay, class information, a newsletter, registration forms and liability waivers (if they apply to your class). Classes with higher levels of risk (fitness, dance, cooking, woodshop, etc.) will have copies of the liability waiver to make available at their classes to get student signatures. Notification Packets are sent out from each of the Centers, so depending on your employment situation, you may receive multiple notifications if you teach in different geographic areas. For example if you teach in Corvallis and Lebanon, you will receive Notification Packets from the Benton Center for the Corvallis area classes and the Lebanon Center for the Lebanon area classes.
Accessing WebRunner WebRunner can be accessed through the following website: https://sis.linnbenton.edu. You will need your X# or your SS# to access your account. Your PIN is your 6-digit birthday
information (MMDDYY). Please call 541-917-4840 for help or if your account is disabled. PINs can also be reset by an administrator or registration staff at any of the centers. Through WebRunner, you can access employee information such as time sheets, time off, benefits, pay stubs, tax forms, direct deposit information, and personal contact information. Information for the classes you teach is also available through your Web Runner account.
Accessing your class information ●
Class Rosters list the names of students who have registered.
● Please note it is your responsibility to keep accurate records of students officially enrolled in your class(es). Contact your CE Coordinator if you see discrepancies. Keep all student information and class rosters secure as they contain confidential information. A general rule of thumb is to not share information about your students with anyone else. ●
Class Supplements are lists of students who have added or dropped classes and are run daily through the second week of the term and weekly the remainder of the term. Students who are not registered may not continue attending LBCC classes. The following Registration Status Code Definitions will help you interpret your supplements: RE - Registered/Adds
ER - Entry Error
DR, DC, DF, DL - Dropped
ID - Institutional Drop
SW - Section Switched
DW - Dropped from Wait List
WL - Added to Waiting List
WR - Registered via WEB
LR - Late refund
WD - Dropped via WEB
RM - Removed before tuition is assessed
Payroll Information Pay information is available on payday by accessing employee self-service (ESS) on WebRunner on the college’s website. Payment is typically dispersed on the last workday of each month and is based on the number of hours you work in the given pay period from the 16th of a month the 15th of the next month. In most cases, pay is spread equally over three months, but may be paid in a lump sum for limited term classes like 1-day workshops. Your hourly wage is based on your step, ranging from Step 1 to Step 9. Step increases occur for every 180 hours of classroom instruction within a fiscal year and is typically updated on the first working day after
summer term. Each step increase is an increase in your hourly pay and the higher the step, the more you will be paid per hour.
First Day and Beyond At the beginning of a term Prior to term start, it is advisable that you preview your teaching space and learn about resources that are immediately available to you. Do you know what to do if you are locked out of your room? How does the technology work? Where is the first aid kit? Who do you call? What should you do if you need to do an emergency evacuation? These are some of the questions you might consider exploring right away. As the term begins, please be sure to collect any registration forms from students registering on the first day. If you do not have extra registration forms, please send the student to our Center Offices to fill out the forms or have them call to register. It is very important that each student signs the Liability Waiver that was included in your Notification Packet. Only classes with higher risk, like fitness, woodshop, dance, cooking, etc. will have a requirement to have all students complete the waiver. Please turn these in to a Center Office after the first week of your class. Please refer students to our Center Offices for information about adding or dropping classes. Please verify that each student in your class is on your roster. All students need to be properly registered in order to participate in your class. If your class is a one-day class or limited term, they need to provide you with a registration form and payment if possible or else they can deliver the form and payment to the Center Office and return to your class. In addition it is always helpful to provide information about your class to your students. Students appreciate a syllabus or course outline and also want to know what you expect of them. Setting classroom expectations is a very proactive way to alleviate behavioral issues that may arise. As always, please let your CE Coordinator know if you are experiencing issues of any type in your classes.
Cancellation and Substitutes Cancelling Class If you need to cancel a class for any valid reason including professional development opportunities, bereavement, or illness, you will need to pre-arrange with your Community Education Coordinator prior to the cancellation. Cancelling class may result in proportionately lower pay. If you are unexpectedly sick, you will need to call the Community Education Coordinator and/or facility staff and speak directly with someone to ensure the message is received and arrangements can be made for your class such as finding an appropriate substitute or cancelling the class with official notification.
Planned Absences If you know in advance that you are going to be absent from a class you are scheduled to teach, you need to get approval from your Community Education Coordinator. It is also helpful to let Center Staff know you’re going to be absent through email and, if ill, turn in a timesheet to use sick leave for your absence. You and your Coordinator can discuss whether or not you need to find a substitute for the class, or if it would be more appropriate to extend the class if that is a possibility. If a substitute is necessary, your Coordinator can assist you in finding one.
Unplanned Absences Contact the Center Office and your CE Coordinator as early as possible if, for any reason, you must miss (or arrive late for) a class. Plan for possible absences in advance by coordinating with other instructors who might be able to cover your class in your absence. If possible, try to find a substitute and/or let your CE Coordinator know as soon as possible if you are unable to find one. If you have the capacity to email, call, or text your students to inform them of a cancellation, please do so. We can help by placing signs on doors if at a LBCC facility. If you can contact partner locations to help with signs, please do so. If your class is scheduled for the full duration of the term, you may have to cancel the class. If your class meets, for example, only a few times, you will need to coordinate a makeup day to hold your class.
Sick Leave All instructors accrue one hour of sick leave per 30 hours worked. Talk to your CE Coordinator about using Sick Leave pay for your absence if it warrants it. Your Sick Leave balance can be
viewed in WebRunner or you can contact Human Resources if you do not have Internet access.
Course Evaluation Sometime prior to the end of the term, you may be asked to provide your students with a Course Evaluation. These evaluations are useful as they provide valuable feedback to the instructors and the coordinator about the class; they should occur at least one time per year. If you are seeking feedback on your course, you can always request a Course Evaluation. When a course you are teaching is selected, you will receive an email from Extended Learning staff notifying you of the evaluation process and timeline. Typically, a date is suggested, but if an alternative date fits better with the structure of the course, feel free to let us know. On occasion, Extended Learning staff will facilitate the evaluation in person, but typically the process is carried out by a student in the class. Once the evaluation is complete and returned to Extended Learning, we will document it and share a compilation of anonymous results with you along with comments from the Coordinator on the feedback.
Emergency Procedures - General Information Accidents If you or one of your students are injured in the classroom or during class time, report the injury immediately to your CE Coordinator. You will also need to fill out an Incident Report within 24 hours of the incident. Paper copies of the Accident Report Form will be included in the Appendix. There is an online reporting form accessible here: https://linnbenton-advocate.symplicity.com/public_report/index.php
Inclement Weather/Emergency Closures The College President (or designee) is responsible for making college closure decisions. Following a decision to close, local radio and TV stations will be notified, with the message to be aired by 6:30 AM if at all possible. Information will also be available on the college web site and through the main switchboard (541-917-4999). A decision to close the college, or delay its opening, shall affect all college facilities in the district. In the event of a closure or should your class fall into the time a delay, the class will be cancelled. Classes can be made-up if time in the term permits. All employees are encouraged to sign up for and use LBCC’s emergency texting system. For staff and students to receive text and/or voicemail alerts, simply provide your cell
phone number in your Web Runner account information or sign up for Regroup EMS on this link, which can also be shared with your students: https://linnbenton.regroup.com/signup. LBCC Center directors (Benton Center, Lebanon Center, Sweet Home Center) will make independent decisions to close an LBCC Center early, or cancel evening classes, for inclement weather that arrives after the start of the school day. Center staff will make every practical effort to notify instructors and students of canceled evening classes. If the college has been closed and special activities are in progress, or have been scheduled, the decision to cancel them shall rest with the coordinating manager of the activity in consultation with the appropriate dean or vice president. There may be occasions when the college is not closed, but driving to work may prove hazardous for an individual faculty member. If you live in an area where hazardous conditions are a possibility, you may need to cancel or reschedule your course. It is mandatory that your contact your Coordinator to notify them of any canceled classes. Please make an effort to contact your students as well.
Lockdown Information If instructed to lockdown by police, an LBCC Public Safety Officer, the LBCC Incident Commander, or the Lockdown Alarm sounds, your Building Emergency Coordinators (BEC's) and Building Managers will attempt to lock building exterior doors, if possible & time permits: 1. Follow instructions, 2. In lieu of instructions: ○ Gather individuals in hallways and corridors into the nearest building and office or classroom; ○ Close and lock all interior and exterior doors - barricade if possible; ○ Turn off Lights, close curtains; ○ Silence students/staff cell phones; ○ Keep staff/students quiet and out of view; ○ Have all staff/students stay in the room they were in when the incident started; ○ If people need help (medical, other assistance) contact Public Safety. ○ Listen to updates via the Public Address system (or hallway loudspeakers at the Lebanon Center) or the 2-way radios (if you have an earpiece to prevent radio noise). 3. Stay in the room until an "all clear" is sounded or you are instructed to leave by police or a LBCC Public Safety Officer. Do not be passive in hiding. Prepare yourself to fight if necessary. View the video "Last Resort ACTIVE SHOOTER SURVIVAL"
In the case of a known perpetrator in the area and no safe path to escape, locking down is a good option. Follow the above process starting at #2. This is also known as the "Hide" option in Run/Hide/Fight described under the plan for Active Shooter/Weapons Incident. This video, "Shots Fired On Campus" demonstrates the lockdown process. Employees and students, please view this important information. If your are teaching at a LBCC Partner Facility (Senior Center, Boys & Girls Club, YMCA, or other such facility), use these guidelines to ensure your safety and the safety of your students should such an incident occur near you. You are also encouraged to ask the building supervisor if there are special instructions or policies that pertain to emergencies at the location.
Other Emergencies When an alarm sounds, you may be instructed to “evacuate”, to “shelter in place” or to “lockdown.”
LBCC Emergency Priorities 1. Protect people first: - protect people from further harm (secure them, get them away from harm), - get help to any injured (call 911 and/or campus Public Safety), - treat and comfort victims till help arrives (first aid, CPR). 2. Contain the situation 3. Protect property: - protect valuable records/documents; get your keys/wallet/purse, protect equipment and buildings. 4. Resume normal operations ASAP: - when the emergency is under control - develop a plan, - survey building for damage, get cost estimates, hire crews, and experts, clean up, open for business.
Evacuation ● You have 2-4 minutes to help your class evacuate. ● Turn off computers, coffee pots, Bunsen burners, and gas shut-offs if time allows. Personal belongings should be taken (books, purses, etc.), as long as it doesn't delay evacuation. ● Close doors. If it is a drill, lock the door. If it is not a drill, leave doors unlocked. Not all, but most LBCC classrooms have a Lock Block or two-way locking doors. Be sure to check these when locking doors.
● Keep your class together and evacuate with them to the nearest evacuation assembly point on the perimeter of the campus. If the nearest assembly point is not your designated department’s point, tell the Building Emergency Coordinator (BEC) who you are and where you are from. Do not go to your department assembly point if it isn’t the closest one. ● Instruct students to not block roadways and to stay on college property until the ‘all clear’ signal is given. This helps keep roadways clear for emergency vehicles. ● Link to Evacuation Protocols by LBCC Center: https://www.linnbenton.edu/faculty-and-staff/college-services/public-safety-emergency-pl anning-ehs/emergency-plans-teams-services/event-specific-plans/evacuation-protocols ● Off-campus and Partner Facilities: Be sure to communicate with the facility staff to determine the best routes of evacuation in case of an emergency. REMEMBER: All employees and students are required to immediately evacuate during an evacuation or fire alarm or as instructed by authorized personnel. If you tell your students to ignore the instructions to evacuate, you may be personally liable for any injuries. ● If instructing minors, be sure you assist them until they connect with a parent or guardian. ● Direct those who cannot negotiate the stairs to an evacu trac location. ● Do not use an elevator in the event of a fire, earthquake, or chemical incident. ● Verify that all students are at the evacuation point. Instructors will be asked to verify that students are accounted for. ● Report any trapped or missing persons to an emergency responder, public safety officer, building manager (wearing a lime green vest), or BEC (wearing an orange vest). ● Do not re-enter buildings until told to do so by an emergency responder, BEC, or campus -55- Public Safety officer. A building emergency coordinator (BEC) will assist in the evacuation of the building or area during an emergency.
Lock Down ● Anyone who is outside, or in the hallway, should go to the nearest room available. ● Close all doors, locking them if possible, and turn off lights and silence all cell phones. If a 2-way radio is available in your department/area, it can be used if an earpiece is connected to prevent radio audio from being heard. ● Stay quiet! ● Keep away from windows and hidden from view. ● Remain in “lock down” until given further instructions.
The public safety officer on duty will notify the President’s Office and emergency responders of the emergency. An appropriate location for the Incident Command Center will be determined, and the Incident Command Team will work together to manage the emergency.
Bomb Threat If the threat appears to be immediate, call 911. Otherwise, notify campus Public Safety at ext. 411 and an administrator. If you see something that you suspect may be a bomb, immediately notify campus Public Safety at ext. 411 or 541-926-6855. DO NOT USE CELLULAR PHONES and DO NOT USE RADIOS – the static frequency may trigger an explosion. Do not touch or move the object or disturb the area. Do not turn lights off or on. Move quickly out of the area. Help others evacuate the area, if safe to do so.
Earthquake ● If inside a building, remain where you are. Duck, cover, and hold under desks, squat or sit next to a large heavy object, or along an interior wall, staying away from windows, light fixtures, and suspended objects. When the shaking stops, evacuate the building to a safe outdoor area. ● If outdoors, move away from buildings, power lines, and trees. Do not re-enter the building.
Fire / Explosion ● ● ● ● ●
Pull fire alarm. Evacuate the building, closing doors and turning off lights if time allows. Call 911 from another location. Call campus Public Safety, ext. 441 or 541-926-6855. Do not re-enter buildings until told to do so.

Professional Development Opportunities As a Part-Time Non-Contracted Faculty, you have access to professional development funds to attend workshops, seminars, conferences and training related to your teaching methodology and/or subject area. This benefit includes up to $400/fiscal year to use towards a professional development activities. The link below provides more information and the steps to apply. Link: https://www.linnbenton.edu/faculty-and-staff/forms-and-guides/professional-development/fa culty-part-time.php In addition to these professional develop opportunities, PTNC Faculty receive a tuition waiver for credit classes per 100 Hours worked, one free Community Education class each term, access to free classes, and First Aid & CPR certification. All of these benefits are accessible to our Community Education Instructors. Please speak with a coordinator to get more information.
FERPA and Confidentiality The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) restricts the manner in which confidential records are handled. There is some information about students that is generally considered public (student’s name, address, telephone listing, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of athletes, dates of attendance, school or division of enrollment, degrees and awards received). All other information about a student must be kept confidential; this is something for which you are legally responsible. The most common situation you will encounter are friends or family members requesting information. You cannot share information with them, so politely tell them so and refer them to the Coordinator with questions. Students are able to request all information be kept confidential, and these students will be flagged in your course roster. You are encouraged to create your own contact list of your student information requesting personal emails and phone numbers, however please keep this information private and confidential.
Age requirements and/or preferences (minor waiver form) Enrollment Of Underage Students In Non-credit Classes The enrollment of students younger than 18 years old require the permission from the instructor. There may be an additional liability form/waiver that a parent or guardian will need to sign on behalf of the student. The college reserves the right to impose standards as deemed appropriate by the course subject matter, safety factors, learning environment, or other significant concerns. It is the student's responsibility to obtain permission to enroll. Failure to receive permission may result in being dropped from the class. This is typically done during the registration process.
Student Conduct How to Deal With Disruption If a student or visitor is dangerous or in immediate danger, call 911 and campus safety (x411). Err on the side of calling campus safety when in doubt! Partner locations can also provide assistance and you are encouraged to have this conversation with the director or person in charge prior to teaching in that facility.
Our “Students in Distress” guide discusses how to handle non-crisis-level student disruptions, such as persistent talking, interrupting, etc. You may ask a disruptive student to leave your class, but you then need to document the incident (see the guide). Students are discouraged from bringing their children to class, and you have the right to ask students who do so to leave the class.
