STEM & Coding Teaching Opportunities

Potential independent contractor instructional assignments for coding and computer science enrichment services at K–12 partner schools. Assignments vary by location, grade level, schedule, and program objectives.

About the Opportunity

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide coding and computer science enrichment services for elementary, middle, and high school students. This is an independent contractor role, not an employee position. Contractors may choose to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities.

Assignment Scope

• Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate coding and technology sessions.
• Introduce students to foundational programming concepts through project-based learning.
• Adapt activities based on student experience levels, site requirements, available technology, and program objectives.
• Support students in creating coding projects, games, animations, websites, applications, or other final projects.
• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment.
• Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff.
• Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session.
• Follow applicable site safety, visitor, technology, emergency, and student-protection procedures.

Example Program Topics

• Introductory programming concepts, including sequencing, loops, and conditionals.
• Scratch or ScratchJr game and animation design.
• Beginner Python programming.
• Web development fundamentals, including HTML, CSS, and introductory JavaScript.
• Computational thinking and debugging.
• Interactive project creation.
• Collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving.

Specific content, software platforms, and curriculum requirements vary by assignment.

Qualifications

• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site.
• Experience with coding, programming, computer science, or related technology subjects.
• 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.
• Familiarity with tools such as Scratch, Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Chromebooks, or similar educational technology.

Preferred backgrounds include educators, tutors, computer science students, software developers, engineers, STEM professionals, and coding club leaders.

Materials and Resources

Assignments may utilize school-provided technology, web-based coding platforms, Chromebooks, curriculum resources, lesson plans, or project guidelines. 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.

Pay

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 is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which services were completed.

Schedule

• Typically 1–4 instructional service hours per week after school.
• Program length commonly approximately 10 weeks per assignment.
• Start dates available throughout the school year.
