** ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
** Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide cheerleading enrichment services for K–12 students.

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.

• Teach cheers, chants, motions, beginning jumps, introductory dance elements, and other age-appropriate cheerleading skills consistent with assignment expectations;
• Prepare students for informal demonstrations, showcases, or school performances where applicable and approved by the site;
• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment;
• Exercise professional judgment to modify, discontinue, or substitute activities whenever safety, facility limitations, student readiness, weather conditions, equipment availability, or school policies make an activity inappropriate;
• 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, emergency, student-protection, supervision, and facility procedures.
