K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)
About The Position
Concorde Education is building a network of independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based K–12 enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized knowledge and skills with students through part-time assignments at schools and community partner locations. Programs may cover technology, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, practical skills, and other specialties. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant professional or specialized experience may qualify, depending on the assignment. Each assignment has its own schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements. Programs may provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their expertise. Assignments are generally 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks, although hours, duration, and schedules vary by program. Compensation is determined for each assignment and communicated before acceptance. The posting lists a typical rate of $50–$65 per instructional hour and also states a salary range of $50–$100 per hour. Applicants may be contacted as opportunities arise for screening, documentation, profile setup, and applicable onboarding. Assignments depend on qualifications, subject expertise, geographic availability, scheduling compatibility, school-partner requirements, and program demand. Applying or completing screening does not guarantee selection, assignment, hours, compensation, or future engagements. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the assignment.
