About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide French language enrichment services for K–12 students at partner schools. Assignments are in person, vary by school and grade level, and commonly run for approximately 10 weeks. Schedules typically involve 1–4 instructional service hours per week after school, with opportunities available throughout the school year. Compensation is typically $50 or more per completed instructional service hour, depending on the assignment and agreed terms. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities. Assignment details—including curriculum, schedule, student proficiency, resources, and program objectives—vary. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson suggestions, resources, activity ideas, or program objectives; contractors may adapt instruction using their professional judgment within the assignment scope and site requirements. Depending on the assignment, instructors plan and facilitate age-appropriate French enrichment, covering language skills and cultural topics through interactive activities. They maintain a safe and inclusive learning environment, use appropriate instructional materials, communicate relevant needs or concerns, complete a brief session completion form after each session, and follow applicable school procedures. Assignments may use school-provided resources or suitable contractor-provided materials. Contractors are responsible for ensuring materials comply with copyright, licensing, school-policy, and age-appropriateness requirements. Reimbursement-required purchases need Concorde’s written approval in advance. Selected applicants may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete onboarding. Applying or completing onboarding does not guarantee placement or future opportunities. Assignments may require background-check authorization, fingerprinting, agency clearance, site documentation, identification badges, or other compliance steps before services begin. Compensation terms and payment timing are governed by the accepted assignment; payment for completed services is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the following month unless otherwise stated or required by law. Concorde Education considers contractor applicants without regard to statuses protected by applicable law and is committed to respectful, inclusive, student-centered programming.
