ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide digital photography enrichment services for K–12 students.

This is a potential independent contractor assignment, not an employee position. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities.

Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, curriculum, available technology, photography equipment, classroom resources, and program objectives.

Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, project ideas, instructional resources, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.

ASSIGNMENT SCOPE

Depending on the accepted assignment, contractors may:

• Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate digital photography sessions;

• Introduce students to photography fundamentals, visual storytelling, and digital photo editing through hands-on projects;

• Adapt activities based on student experience levels, site requirements, available technology, equipment, and program objectives;

• Support students in capturing, organizing, editing, and presenting photographs using school-approved devices and software, where applicable;

• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment;

• Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate;

• Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session; and

• Follow applicable site safety, visitor, technology, media, emergency, and student-protection procedures.

EXAMPLE PROGRAM TOPICS

Assignments may include topics such as:

• Camera fundamentals, including focus, framing, exposure, stability, and image resolution;

• Composition techniques such as the rule of thirds, leading lines, symmetry, perspective, and visual balance;

• Natural and artificial lighting techniques and creative use of light and shadow;

• Visual storytelling, themes, sequencing, and creative expression through photography;

• File organization, image management, and responsible handling of digital media;

• Photo editing using Photopea, Apple Photos, or other school-approved editing platforms;

• Cropping, exposure correction, color adjustment, retouching, layers, and other introductory editing techniques, where appropriate;

• Digital citizenship, copyright, consent, privacy, and ethical photography practices; and

• Preparing photographs for digital galleries, presentations, printing, or student showcases.

Specific curriculum, software platforms, photography equipment, available technology, and project requirements vary by assignment.

QUALIFICATIONS

Preferred qualifications include:

• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;

• Experience with digital photography, photo editing, visual arts, media production, journalism, graphic design, or related creative disciplines;

• Familiarity with Photopea, Apple Photos, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Canva, or similar digital editing tools;

• Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading activities with school-age students;

• Strong communication, organization, and classroom facilitation skills;

• Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable; and

• Familiarity with Chromebooks, iPads, digital cameras, tablets, smartphones, and other educational technology commonly used for photography instruction.

Preferred backgrounds may include photographers, photography instructors, visual artists, journalists, graphic designers, media professionals, yearbook advisors, art educators, communications professionals, and others with relevant instructional or creative experience.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

Assignments may utilize school-provided cameras, tablets, Chromebooks, iPads, smartphones, photography accessories, Photopea, Apple Photos, curriculum resources, lesson plans, project guides, and other instructional materials, where available.

Contractors may use their own instructional methods and materials when appropriate, safe, age-appropriate, lawful, and consistent with the assignment scope and site requirements.

Purchases requiring reimbursement must be approved in writing by Concorde before they are incurred.

COMPENSATION

Compensation varies by assignment and agreed contractor terms. Many opportunities pay $50+ per completed instructional service hour with students.

Contractors may propose their desired compensation rate when applying. When proposing a rate, contractors should consider the overall assignment scope, including anticipated preparation, planning, commute, materials, schedule, and other business considerations.

Concorde may accept the proposed rate, decline the application, or provide a counteroffer based on the budget for the specific assignment.

Unless otherwise approved in writing, compensation is based on completed instructional service hours with students.

Payment for completed services is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which services were completed, unless otherwise stated in the accepted assignment terms or required by applicable law.

APPLICATION AND ONBOARDING

Applicants selected to move forward may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete any required onboarding steps.

Applying, interviewing, receiving an invitation to create a profile, creating a profile, or completing onboarding does not guarantee selection, placement, or future assignment opportunities.

Potential assignments are subject to assignment fit, agreed compensation, completion of required onboarding, applicable background-check review, Fair Chance or pre-adverse action procedures where required, site-specific clearance requirements, and final written confirmation from Concorde Education.

Some assignments may require background-check authorization, fingerprinting, agency clearance, site-specific documentation, identification badges, or other compliance steps before services may begin.

Applicants should not provide criminal-history information unless and until requested through the appropriate legally compliant process.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education considers contractor applicants without regard to any status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law and is committed to respectful, inclusive, and student-centered programming.
