About The Opportunity
Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide traditional visual art 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, available art materials, classroom resources, and program objectives.
Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, project ideas, instructional resources, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.
