Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, available games, technology, equipment, competitive goals, and program objectives.

Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, instructional resources, league information, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.

Depending On The Accepted Assignment, Contractors May

• Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate esports sessions;
• Introduce students to teamwork, communication, strategy, digital citizenship, and healthy competitive gaming through structured instruction and gameplay;

• Support students in developing game knowledge, teamwork, communication, leadership, decision-making, and competitive skills through practices, scrimmages, reviews, and tournaments, where applicable;
• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment;
• 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, technology, emergency, student-protection, and acceptable-use procedures.

Specific games, leagues, technology platforms, instructional activities, and competition expectations vary by assignment.

Preferred qualifications include:

• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;
