Scratch Instructor (Part Time, After School, In-Person)
About The Position
Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered Scratch Instructor to facilitate a short-format after-school enrichment course for students.

Students build computational thinking skills while creating interactive projects that reflect their interests and ideas. Instruction should be age-appropriate, hands-on, and project-based, with clear routines that support beginners and differentiated pathways for students with prior experience. The instructor will deliver instruction across a typical 10-week cycle, with pacing adapted to student needs and site logistics. Students will learn core programming concepts by building interactive Scratch projects such as games, animations, and stories. Learners will practice sequencing, events, loops, conditionals, variables, and debugging strategies. Instruction emphasizes creativity, iteration, and collaboration while helping students learn to plan, build, test, and refine digital projects.
