Concorde Education • Wabash, IN

About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors share subject expertise and help students explore interests, develop practical skills, and learn beyond the traditional classroom. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify.

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. Assignments vary by school in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and program requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable learning activities using their own expertise.

Opportunities are generally part-time, with many programs meeting for approximately 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though rates vary by assignment and are communicated before acceptance. Opportunities arise throughout the academic year. This posting is for potential independent contractor engagements, not a guaranteed assignment or offer of employment. Selection and any engagement are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
