ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education partners with schools and community organizations to provide engaging enrichment programs that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence, and lifelong learning.

We are seeking enthusiastic professionals with backgrounds in science, STEM, education, engineering, laboratory sciences, environmental science, or other related fields who are interested in providing instructional services for K–12 hands-on science enrichment programs.

Household Science programs introduce students to scientific concepts through fun, interactive experiments and activities using familiar, everyday materials. These programs are designed to make science approachable and exciting while encouraging students to experiment, ask questions, make predictions, and discover how science connects to the world around them.

This posting is intended to identify qualified professionals who may be considered for future independent contractor instructional assignments as opportunities become available.

POTENTIAL ASSIGNMENT AREAS

Depending on the specific school, age group, and program, instructional activities may explore topics such as:

Fun science experiments using everyday materials

Chemical reactions and changes

States of matter

Density, buoyancy, and surface tension

Acids, bases, and pH

Electricity and magnetism

Light, sound, and energy

Forces, motion, and simple machines

Weather and environmental science

Slime, polymers, and material science

Engineering and building challenges

Scientific observation and experimentation

The science behind common household objects and activities

Activities should be age-appropriate, engaging, and conducted with appropriate attention to classroom and student safety.

Specific curriculum, student age group, schedule, materials, and program expectations vary by assignment.

IDEAL BACKGROUNDS

Potential instructors may come from a variety of professional, educational, and academic backgrounds, including:

Science teachers or educators

STEM instructors

Biology, chemistry, physics, or environmental science backgrounds

Engineering or technology professionals

Laboratory or research backgrounds

Science museum or educational-program staff

After-school or summer-camp STEM instructors

College students or graduates studying science, engineering, education, or related fields

Professionals with experience leading hands-on science activities for children

Prior K–12 teaching experience is helpful but is not required for every assignment. Relevant professional, academic, scientific, or instructional experience may also be considered.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

Successful instructors should be able to:

Make scientific concepts fun, understandable, and engaging for students

Lead hands-on experiments and activities in an organized manner

Explain the science behind experiments rather than simply demonstrating them

Encourage students to ask questions, make predictions, and explore ideas

Maintain appropriate classroom and activity safety

Create a positive and inclusive learning environment

Communicate professionally with students, school personnel, and Concorde Education

Arrive prepared and reliably fulfill accepted instructional assignments

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR OPPORTUNITIES

Instructional opportunities are offered on an independent contractor basis and vary based on partner-school needs.

Submitting an application does not guarantee an assignment. Qualified applicants may be contacted when an opportunity becomes available that aligns with their background, location, availability, and the specific requirements of the program.

Assignment details, including schedule, location, instructional expectations, materials, and compensation, are provided for review before an instructor accepts an opportunity.

If you have a background in science, STEM, education, engineering, or hands-on learning and enjoy helping young people discover how much fun science can be, we encourage you to apply for consideration for upcoming instructional opportunities.

We provide in-person instruction with specialized instructors who are thoroughly background-checked and comply with local program standards.

With a mission rooted in educational excellence and innovation, we aim to exceed the expectations of every school district partner.

We elevate each program we’re contracted to run as if it were a core day program, bringing in specialized instructors and curated curriculums designed specifically to meet the school’s goals.

If your school isn’t working with Concorde, it’s missing out on the future of education. Let’s connect and see how we can transform learning for your students.
