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, available facilities, school policies, student experience levels, curriculum expectations, 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.

ASSIGNMENT SCOPE Depending on the accepted assignment, contractors may:
• Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate cheerleading enrichment sessions;
• Introduce students to cheerleading fundamentals, teamwork, movement, coordination, leadership, and school spirit through structured instructional activities;
• Adapt instruction based on student age, experience level, physical abilities, available facilities, school policies, and assignment objectives;
• 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.

EXAMPLE PROGRAM TOPICS Assignments may include topics such as:
• Cheerleading fundamentals and proper technique;
• Cheers, chants, and sideline performance skills;
• Motions, formations, and performance timing;
• Introductory jumps, movement skills, and body control;
• Beginning dance choreography and routine development;
• Teamwork, leadership, communication, and confidence building; and
• Performance preparation, positive sportsmanship, and school spirit.

Specific activities, curriculum, and performance expectations vary by assignment.

QUALIFICATIONS Preferred qualifications include:
• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;
• Experience in cheerleading, dance, gymnastics, coaching, athletics, or related movement instruction;
• Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading activities with school-age students;
• Strong communication, organization, classroom facilitation, and behavior-management skills;
• Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable; and
• Ability to safely instruct age-appropriate physical activities while exercising sound professional judgment.
