Adjuncting 101
Your Guide to $10k as an Adjunct Professor for Social Workers and Counselors
You’ve Always Wondered What It Would Be Like to Teach…
Always thought about teaching a college class but not sure where to start - or want to know more about the commitments first?
You’ve been told you’re great at breaking down complex ideas - therapists love going to you for advice or to consult. And frankly, you love sharing all the real-world knowledge you’ve gained in the field and helping the next generation of mental health professionals.
Maybe even since you were in grad school, you wondered what it would be like to be on the other side of the podium guiding students through lessons and creating innovate (and FUN) assignments.

Hi, I'm Dr. Victoria Rodriguez!
Just like you, I always imagined what it would be like on the other side of the podium in the classroom (or in my case, the zoom screen because I love working from home!).
While finishing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of New Orleans, I started teaching 1-2 college courses each semester so I could get my feet wet and see if I liked teaching at the college level - but also because I loved sharing all the tips and tricks that had been passed onto me from my professors and mentors.
I’ve been teaching over 5 years now at the same time as building a thriving virtual private practice from my home office. Now, I’m so excited to share with you how you can take all the clinical knowledge you’ve gained over your career and share it with the next generation of counselors and social workers!

Your purchase includes access to a 2 hour recorded online workshop. In this workshop, you’ll learn what it is involved with teaching a college course, how to write a resume or curriculum vitae that reflects the needs of the program for which you are applying, how to design your course to keep students engaged (whether online or in person), and how to balance multiple jobs as a clinician and instructor.
-
While I do go over how to apply for and teach an in-person course in this workshop, I have taught primarily online courses while working from home. You can either teach synchronously online (meaning you are meeting regularly over video) or asynchronously (meaning you are creating and guiding students through a self-paced course - no regular meetings required).
-
It depends on the university and program - some require a PhD, but so many DO NOT. You can even teach undergraduate courses without a full license. Some community colleges/tech schools only require you to have an undergraduate degree.

Mental health professionals already have experience leading groups, giving presentations, providing feedback, etc. This workshop reviews how you can showcase your clinical skills in the classroom.
