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, available materials, classroom resources, and program objectives. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, instructional resources, organized play formats, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.
  • Assignment
  • SCOPE
  • Depending on the accepted assignment, contractors may:
  • Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate Pokémon Trading Card Game sessions;
  • Introduce students to Pokémon TCG gameplay, strategy, sportsmanship, and critical thinking through structured instruction and organized play;
  • Adapt instruction based on student experience levels, site requirements, available materials, and program objectives;
  • Support students in learning game mechanics, deck-building fundamentals, strategic decision-making, organized play, and collaborative problem-solving, 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;
  • Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session; and
  • Follow applicable site safety, visitor, classroom, emergency, and student-protection procedures.
  • EXAMPLE
  • PROGRAM
  • TOPICS
  • Assignments may include topics such as:
  • Pokémon TCG rules, card types, and turn structure;
  • Reading and interpreting card text, abilities, and game mechanics;
  • Energy management, prize cards, win conditions, and strategic gameplay;
  • Deck-building fundamentals using beginner-friendly formats;
  • Probability, resource management, planning, and decision-making;
  • Damage calculation, weaknesses, resistances, and mathematical reasoning;
  • Sportsmanship, respectful competition, conflict resolution, and organized play etiquette; and
  • Mini tournaments, leagues, collaborative challenges, and positive gaming communities. Specific curriculum, available card pools, organized play formats, instructional activities, and project requirements vary by assignment.

Qualifications

Preferred qualifications include:

  • At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;
  • Demonstrated knowledge of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, including gameplay mechanics and beginner deck-building concepts;
  • 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 and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable; and
  • Ability to foster a positive, inclusive environment that emphasizes sportsmanship, strategic thinking, and respectful gameplay. Preferred backgrounds may include educators, Pokémon TCG players, organized play judges or league leaders, hobby store instructors, camp counselors, youth program leaders, gaming club advisors, tutors, and others with relevant instructional or gaming experience. MATERIALS AND RESOURCES Assignments may utilize school-provided Pokémon TCG materials, preconstructed decks, playmats, counters, curriculum resources, lesson plans, organized play materials, and other instructional resources, 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.
