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, classroom resources, available technology, and program objectives. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, instructional resources, cultural activities, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.

• Adapt instruction based on student experience levels, site requirements, available resources, and program objectives;
• Support students in developing speaking, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation, and cultural understanding through games, discussions, projects, and other engaging learning activities, where applicable;
• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment;
• Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate;

• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;
• Strong proficiency in spoken and written French;
• Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading activities with school-age students;

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES Assignments may utilize school-provided curriculum resources, lesson plans, books, games, presentation materials, Chromebooks, web-based language platforms, audio and video resources, 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.
