Cheerleading Teaching Opportunities

About The Opportunity

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide cheerleading 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, available facilities, school policies, student experience levels, curriculum expectations, and program objectives. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, instructional resources, activity ideas, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements. Program length is commonly approximately 10 weeks per assignment; start dates become available throughout the school year.

Responsibilities

• Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate cheerleading enrichment sessions
• Introduce students to cheerleading fundamentals, teamwork, movement, coordination, leadership, and school spirit through structured instructional activities
• Adapt instruction based on student age, experience level, physical abilities, available facilities, school policies, and assignment objectives
• Teach cheers, chants, motions, beginning jumps, introductory dance elements, and other age-appropriate cheerleading skills consistent with assignment expectations
• Prepare students for informal demonstrations, showcases, or school performances where applicable and approved by the site
• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment
• Exercise professional judgment to modify, discontinue, or substitute activities whenever safety, facility limitations, student readiness, weather conditions, equipment availability, or school policies make an activity inappropriate
• Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate
• Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session
• Follow applicable site safety, visitor, emergency, student-protection, supervision, and facility procedures

• Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading activities with school-age students
• Strong communication, organization, classroom facilitation, and behavior-management skills
• Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable
• Ability to safely instruct age-appropriate physical activities while exercising sound professional judgment

Preferred backgrounds may include current or former cheer coaches, dance instructors, gymnastics instructors, educators, collegiate cheerleaders, athletes, youth sports coaches, recreation leaders, camp staff, and others with relevant instructional experience.

Pay

Typical compensation of $50+ per completed instructional service hour, depending on assignment scope, experience, location, schedule, and agreed 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. 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.

Schedule

Typically 1–4 instructional service hours per week after school. Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, available facilities, school policies, student experience levels, curriculum expectations, and program objectives. Start dates become available throughout the school year.
