ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide robotics coding 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 robotics kits, technology resources, and program objectives.

Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, coding challenges, 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 robotics coding sessions;

• Introduce students to foundational programming and robotics concepts through project-based, hands-on learning;

• Adapt instruction based on student experience levels, site requirements, available robotics kits, technology resources, and program objectives;

• Guide students through coding, testing, debugging, engineering challenges, and collaborative problem-solving activities;

• 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, equipment, emergency, and student-protection procedures.

EXAMPLE PROGRAM TOPICS

Assignments may include topics such as:

• Robotics safety, equipment care, and responsible technology use;

• Block-based programming using age-appropriate coding platforms;

• Sequencing, algorithms, and logical problem-solving;

• Loops, conditionals, and introductory programming concepts;

• Debugging techniques and iterative testing;

• Sensors, inputs, outputs, and basic robotics interactions, where applicable;

• Engineering design, prototyping, testing, and continuous improvement;

• Collaborative robotics challenges using LEGO® Education, Sphero, Ozobot, VEX, or similar educational robotics platforms; and

• Creativity, computational thinking, teamwork, and STEM problem-solving.

Specific robotics platforms, coding software, curriculum requirements, and available equipment vary by assignment.

QUALIFICATIONS

Preferred qualifications include:

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

• Experience with educational robotics platforms such as LEGO® Education, Sphero, Ozobot, VEX, or similar robotics and coding 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, tablets, web-based coding platforms, educational technology, or related STEM instructional tools.

Preferred backgrounds may include educators, computer science students, engineering students, robotics coaches, STEM instructors, makerspace facilitators, programmers, technology specialists, and others with relevant instructional or technical experience.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

Assignments may utilize school-provided robotics kits, Chromebooks, tablets, coding software, educational technology platforms, curriculum resources, lesson plans, engineering challenges, 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.
