About The Position
Concorde Education partners with schools and community organizations to provide enrichment programs that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence, and lifelong learning. The company is seeking professionals with backgrounds in science, STEM, education, engineering, laboratory sciences, environmental science, or related fields to provide instruction for K–12 hands-on science enrichment programs. Household Science programs introduce scientific concepts through interactive experiments and activities using familiar, everyday materials. Instructors help students experiment, ask questions, make predictions, and explore how science connects to the world around them. Activities should be age-appropriate, engaging, and conducted with appropriate attention to classroom and student safety. Curriculum, student age group, schedule, materials, and program expectations vary by assignment. Opportunities are independent contractor instructional assignments offered as partner-school needs arise. Applying does not guarantee an assignment. Qualified applicants may be contacted when an opportunity matches their background, location, availability, and program requirements. Assignment details, including schedule, location, instructional expectations, materials, and compensation, are provided for review before an instructor accepts an opportunity. Assignments are typically 1–4 instructional hours per week, primarily after school, and last approximately 8–10 weeks. Locations vary by assignment and are on-site at partner schools or community locations. Compensation starts at $50+ per instructional hour and varies by assignment, qualifications, experience, location, scheduling needs, and other program-related factors. The listed salary range is $50–$100 per hour.
