Responsibilities
- Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate gardening sessions
- Introduce students to gardening, plant science, sustainability, and environmental stewardship through hands-on learning activities
- Adapt instruction based on student experience levels, site requirements, available space, seasonal conditions, materials, and program objectives

- Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment

- Experience with gardening, horticulture, agriculture, environmental education, botany, landscaping, or related disciplines
- Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading activities with school-age students
- Strong communication, organization, and classroom facilitation skills
- Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable
- Ability to safely lead hands-on outdoor or classroom-based gardening activities while fostering curiosity, responsibility, and environmental awareness
- Contractors may use their own instructional methods and materials when appropriate, safe, age-appropriate, lawful, and consistent with the assignment scope and site requirements
- Purchases requiring reimbursement must be approved in writing by Concorde before they are incurred
- Applicants selected to move forward may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete any required onboarding steps
- Potential assignments are subject to assignment fit, agreed compensation, completion of required onboarding, applicable background-check review, Fair Chance or pre-adverse action procedures where required, site-specific clearance requirements, and final written confirmation from Concorde Education
