About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs serving K–12 students at schools and community partner locations. Instructors share specialized skills, professional expertise, or subject knowledge through engaging learning experiences that help students explore new interests and develop practical skills. Teaching certification is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify, depending on the program.

Instructional areas may include technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical or career skills. Assignments vary by school and may include prepared curricula and supplies or allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise. Program details and expectations are shared during the assignment selection process.
