What the Instuctor family covers
Instuctor is a rank rather than a single job. New Jersey applies it across 2 specializations, which together account for 2 title codes. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Public school teachers in New Jersey are not civil service, so the education titles in this system are the ones that sit outside a classroom: instructors in correctional and developmental facilities, curriculum and program development staff, and the education specialists at the Department of Education. Library titles are different again. County and municipal libraries are among the local employers that adopted civil service in their own right, which is why librarian and library assistant series carry local codes and appear in the local jurisdiction directory.
