STEM Instructor (Part Time, After School, In-Person)

Concorde Education
Allentown, PA
Schedule: Typically 1 hour per week for 10 weeks (after school); exact days/times vary by assignment

Location: On-site at a partner school; varies by assignment

Start Date: Rolling openings based on school schedules

Position Overview

Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered STEM Instructor to facilitate a short-format after-school enrichment course for students (grade band varies by assignment). This role provides hands-on, project-based learning experiences that build curiosity, problem-solving, and foundational skills across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Programming varies by site and may include experiments, design challenges, coding fundamentals, robotics exploration, and applied math activities.

Instruction should be age-appropriate, safety-first, and aligned with school expectations and site policies. The instructor will deliver instruction across a typical 10-week cycle, with pacing adapted to student needs and site logistics.

What You Will Teach

Students will explore STEM concepts through inquiry and design-based activities. Lessons emphasize asking questions, testing ideas, analyzing results, and iterating on designs. Depending on the assignment, the course may focus on a specific strand (e.g., engineering design, coding, robotics, or applied science) or integrate multiple STEM areas through themed projects and challenges.

Major Topics Can Include

  • STEM inquiry routines and safety expectations
  • Engineering design process (plan, build, test, revise, improve)
  • Hands-on science exploration (properties of matter, forces/motion, energy, ecosystems—grade dependent)
  • Data collection and interpretation (measurement, graphs, patterns, conclusions)
  • Design challenges using accessible materials (bridges, towers, vehicles, simple machines)
  • Coding and computational thinking (sequencing, loops, conditionals—platform dependent)
  • Robotics exploration (beginner-level kits as available; sensor concepts intro)
  • Applied math in STEM (estimation, ratios, geometry concepts, measurement)
  • Collaboration and teamwork roles (planning, communication, reflection)
  • STEM careers and real-world applications (age-appropriate exploration)

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver a 10-session STEM enrichment course with clear objectives and hands-on instruction
  • Prepare and manage materials safely, including set-up and clean-up routines
  • Facilitate interactive experiments and design challenges with structured guidance and student choice
  • Differentiate instruction to support varying readiness levels and learning needs
  • Maintain a safe, inclusive environment aligned to site policies and expectations
  • Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
  • Adapt pacing and activities as needed while maintaining intended learning outcomes
  • Support students in completing a culminating artifact demonstrating applied STEM learning

Qualifications (Required)

  • Minimum of 60 college credits (or Associate degree in progress/completed)
  • Comfort teaching foundational STEM concepts through hands-on, inquiry-based activities
  • Experience working with school-age students in structured settings (school, camp, after-school, tutoring, youth programs)
  • Strong facilitation skills, clear communication, and comfort managing materials and procedures
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional; able to follow school policies and program boundaries
  • Ability to maintain safety-first routines and an organized, engaging classroom environment
