Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide Spanish language 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, curriculum, student proficiency levels, available instructional resources, 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.

• Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate Spanish language enrichment sessions;
• Introduce students to foundational Spanish vocabulary, pronunciation, conversational skills, listening comprehension, reading, writing, and cultural awareness through interactive instruction;
• Adapt instruction based on student age, proficiency level, learning needs, available instructional resources, site requirements, and assignment objectives;
• Encourage student participation through games, songs, storytelling, role-playing, collaborative activities, and real-world communication exercises, where appropriate;
• Introduce students to traditions, geography, customs, holidays, music, food, and other cultural topics from Spanish-speaking countries in an age-appropriate and educational manner;
• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment;
• Exercise professional judgment when selecting instructional materials and ensure that all content remains educational, culturally respectful, age-appropriate, and consistent with school policies and assignment requirements;
• Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate;

• Reading and writing simple words, phrases, and short passages;
• Spanish-speaking cultures, traditions, celebrations, geography, and customs; and

Specific curriculum, instructional materials, proficiency expectations, and program requirements vary by assignment.

Preferred qualifications include:

• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;
• Proficiency in spoken and written Spanish with the ability to model accurate pronunciation and age-appropriate language instruction;
