SERIES CONCEPT


Under the general supervision of a Specialist, or higher level Program 
Representative, performs the full range of implementation duties for classes 
and programs offered to the general public; and performs other related duties 
as required.

Implementation of classes and programs by incumbents in this series requires
full knowledge of the professional goals of the department, specific subject
matter and audience characteristics and requirements as they affect class and
program administration. This series is also appropriate for use where
incumbents have responsibility for planning and developing individual classes
and programs, but without responsibility for the long range educational policy
and content review found in academic positions.

Incumbents implement new and repeat classes and programs, with responsibility
for deciding upon the best location, time, sequence; select instructors from
approved lists; maintain liaison with the community and professional groups
to determine the need and effectiveness of classes and programs; participate
in the evaluation of programs and teachers; recommend revisions, additions
and deletions to established programs and class offerings; and supervise
related clerical services.

As a class or program planner, incumbents independently develop ideas for
individual classes and programs based on consultation with professional 
groups, analysis of community needs, matters of topical interest, and an 
investigation of current literature in the field; contact appropriate faculty 
to discuss possible programs in terms of format and content; draw up 
implementation plans and budget for academic approval; and supervise related 
clerical services.

Related duties that may be assigned include: recruiting and screening 
instructors and speakers for classes and programs; selecting class and 
program topics and materials; investigating and evaluating new facilities 
and locations for classes and programs; and maintaining liaison with 
governmental agencies and affiliated institutions.

Positions in this series are distinguished from positions in the Program
Assistant series in that the majority of time is spent in class or program
implementation, rather than performing or supervising clerical duties related
to these activities.


                           CLASS CONCEPTS

Program Representative III

Incumbents have continuing responsibility for implementing the largest and
most complex class programs, normally numbering between 300 and 600 classes
each year and typically requiring the supervision of lower level Program
Representatives. This class is also used where incumbents have a major and
continuing responsibility for class or program planning and development, but
without responsibility for the long-range educational policy and content
review found in academic positions.

Program Representative II

Incumbents implement classes and programs of average size and complexity and
supervise related clerical detail. This class is also used where incumbents
have limited or infrequent responsibility for planning and developing classes
and programs of limited scope and complexity, involving a determination of
subject matter content and need.

Program Representative I

Incumbents implement classes and programs of limited scope and complexity,
where the guidelines are clear and variety limited. While some duties may be
clerical in nature, the majority of time is spent in class or program
implementation.
