Start Dates: Rolling openings throughout the school year
Compensation: $50+ per instructional hour (flexible based on experience)

About the Role

Concorde Education is seeking an engaging Digital Animation Instructor to lead a short-format after-school enrichment class. Students will explore the basics of animation and learn how movement, timing, and visual storytelling bring characters and scenes to life.

Classes focus on hands-on creative projects using school-approved tools (often Chromebooks and browser-based animation software).

This is a once-per-week enrichment class, typically running for about 10 weeks, with flexible pacing based on student needs.

  • Storyboarding and visual storytelling
  • Character and background design
  • Frame-by-frame animation or simple motion graphics
  • Stop-motion and GIF animation
  • Timing sound or music with motion
  • Exporting animations for sharing or presentation
  • Constructive peer feedback and creative revision
  • Tools may include Wick Editor or similar web-based animation platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Lead engaging project-based animation sessions
  • Demonstrate animation concepts in an accessible way for beginners
  • Support students as they design and create short animations
  • Adapt activities based on student age and available technology
  • Foster a creative and respectful classroom environment
  • Communicate with school staff and Concorde program coordinators
  • Guide students toward completing a final animation project

Qualifications

  • Minimum 60 college credits
  • Experience with animation, digital media, or motion graphics
  • Experience working with school-age students (school, camp, tutoring, etc.)
  • Strong communication and classroom facilitation skills
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional
  • Comfortable using Chromebooks and web-based creative tools

Who This Role Is Great For

  • Teachers or teaching assistants
  • College students studying animation, art, film, or design
  • Digital artists or animators
  • Creative professionals looking for flexible part-time work
  • Anyone who enjoys helping students bring ideas to life through animation
