About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future K–12 school-based enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized knowledge and practical skills with students through part-time assignments at schools and community partner locations.

Programs may cover technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, practical and career skills, and other specialties. Assignment schedules, student populations, instructional goals, resources, and program requirements vary. Some programs provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise.
