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.

The instructor will deliver instruction across a typical 10-week cycle, with pacing adapted to student needs and site logistics. Concorde Education provides the instructor and curriculum; instructors may adapt lessons as needed.

Students will learn foundational coding concepts and apply them to create interactive projects. Depending on the course level, learners may explore sequencing, loops, conditionals, variables, events, debugging, and basic computational thinking. Web development offerings introduce front-end concepts including page structure, styling, and interactivity, with an emphasis on building publishable or shareable student work products.

  • 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
