Position Overview

Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered Coding Instructor to facilitate short-format after-school enrichment courses for students across multiple grade bands. Programming may range from introductory block-based coding (ScratchJr, Scratch) to text-based programming (Python) and web development (HTML/CSS/JavaScript), depending on the assignment and student readiness.

  • Digital citizenship and responsible technology use

  • Sequencing, events, and debugging (ScratchJr/Scratch)
  • Loops, conditionals, variables, and operators (Scratch/Scratch to Python transition)
  • Functions and modular thinking (Python, advanced Scratch)
  • Input/output and basic data handling (Python)
  • Introductory problem-solving patterns (games, simulations, automation)
  • Web development fundamentals (HTML structure, CSS styling, responsive basics)
  • JavaScript fundamentals (events, DOM interaction, simple interactivity)
  • Project planning, iterative improvement, and peer feedback

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver a 10-session course with clear objectives and engaging, hands-on instruction
  • Implement age-appropriate lessons aligned to the assigned platform(s) and student readiness
  • Differentiate instruction to support a range of experience levels, including beginners
  • Maintain a safe, inclusive classroom environment that supports collaboration and persistence
  • Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
  • Adapt pacing and activities as needed while maintaining the intended outcomes of the program
  • Support students in completing a culminating project that demonstrates applied coding skills

Qualifications (Required)

  • Minimum of 60 college credits (or Associate degree in progress/completed)
  • Demonstrated experience with one or more of the following: ScratchJr, Scratch, Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript
  • Experience working with school-age students in structured settings (school, camp, after-school, tutoring, youth programs)
  • Strong facilitation skills, classroom presence, and clear communication
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional; able to follow school policies and program boundaries
  • Comfort supporting students on Chromebooks or school-issued devices and troubleshooting basic tech issues
