Our instructors bring real-world expertise into the classroom and help students explore new interests through hands-on learning.Programs typically run once per week for about 10 weeks, allowing instructors to teach part-time while maintaining other professional or academic commitments.Position OverviewConcorde Education is seeking enthusiastic Coding Instructors to lead Scratch-based after-school enrichment classes for elementary and middle school students.Scratch is a visual programming platform developed by MIT that introduces students to coding through block-based programming. Students create games, animations, and interactive stories while learning foundational programming concepts and computational thinking skills.Classes are hands-on and project-based, designed to make coding accessible for beginners while still engaging students who may already have some experience.What You'll TeachStudents will explore core programming concepts by building interactive Scratch projects such as games, animations, and digital stories.Topics may include:Introduction to the Scratch interface (sprites, stage, blocks)Sequencing and event-driven programmingLoops and repetitionConditional logic and decision-makingVariables and simple score or timer systemsDebugging and problem-solving strategiesGame design fundamentalsAnimation and storytelling through codeCollaboration and remixing Scratch projectsDigital citizenship and responsible online sharingResponsibilitiesLead engaging, hands-on Scratch coding sessions for studentsGuide students through creating games, animations, and interactive projectsAdapt instruction for beginner and more advanced learnersFoster a positive, inclusive classroom environmentCommunicate professionally with school staff and Concorde program coordinatorsTrack attendance and basic program progress as requiredSupport students in completing a final Scratch projectQualificationsMinimum 60 college credits completedExperience using Scratch or similar beginner coding platformsExperience working with school-age students (teaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, etc.)Strong communication and classroom facilitation skillsReliable, punctual, and professionalComfortable helping students use Chromebooks or web-based coding platformsMost Concorde instructors teach 1–4 hours per week, though many choose to lead multiple programs across different schools.Assignments vary by location and schedule, allowing instructors to select opportunities that best fit their availability.Who This Role Is Great ForTeachers or substitute teachersComputer science or education college studentsProgrammers or tech professionals interested in youth educationTutors or after-school instructorsGame designers, developers, or hobbyist codersJ-18808-Ljbffr
