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 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, considering the overall assignment scope, including anticipated preparation, planning, commute, materials, schedule, and other business considerations. 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.

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.
