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 the
Schedule of Classes
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.
We accept course proposals
all year-round, but only do development three times per year (refer to the
chart below). Your proposal will be reviewed by a committee, considering
such things as potential interest, available facilities, and compatibility
with our existing offerings.

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 lobby of the PEC South building at West
Los Angeles College. (click here for
