  • Support students during hands‑on skill development
  • Ensure labs and clinics are ready for instructional use
  • Collaboration & Administration

  • Record attendance and grades using Nova / Moodle
  • Communicate student progress and concerns with the Program Coordinator
  • Participate in faculty meetings, PD days, and required training
  • Teaching Schedule (At a Glance)

  • Online instruction : Scheduled weekday mornings during teaching blocks
  • On-campus instruction : Two scheduled practical blocks per year (full‑time weeks)
  • Built-in breaks : Non‑teaching periods throughout the academic year
  • (Full academic calendar provided in advance.)

    What We’re Looking For

    Required

  • NDAEB Certification
  • 3–5 years of experience as a Dental Assistant
  • Eligibility to meet Private Career Colleges Act (PCCA) requirements
  • Current First Aid / CPR / AED (or willingness to obtain)
  • Comfort presenting to groups and leading a virtual classroom
  • Assets

  • Teaching, mentoring, or precepting experience
  • ODAA membership (or willingness to obtain)

  • Hybrid model with significant remote work
  • Predictable academic schedule
  • Supportive faculty and administration
  • Opportunity to lead, inspire, and shape the future of the profession
