  • Social-emotional learning routines (communication, self-management, goal-setting, reflection)
  • Leadership and workplace readiness habits (responsibility, persistence, respectful discussion)
  • Project-based learning and student showcases
  • Classroom routines, expectations, and positive community-building

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver a 10-session after-school enrichment course with clear objectives and engaging instruction
  • Establish consistent routines, transitions, and expectations aligned to site policies
  • Facilitate hands-on activities that promote participation, collaboration, and skill growth
  • Differentiate instruction to support varying readiness levels and learning needs
  • Maintain a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment
  • 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

Qualifications (Required)

  • Strong facilitation skills, classroom presence, and clear communication
