 Position Overview
 
 
 
 Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered Comic Book Creation Instructor to facilitate a short-format after-school enrichment course for students. This course provides an interactive, project-based introduction to comic creation as both a storytelling medium and a visual art form. Students develop original characters and narratives while learning foundational comic structure, page layout, and illustration techniques.
 
 
 Instruction should be age-appropriate and inclusive, with a focus on creativity, communication, collaboration, and iterative improvement. 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 learn how to plan and produce a comic or short graphic narrative from concept to final draft. Depending on grade level and available resources, learners may create comics using traditional materials (pencil/ink, paper) and/or digital tools (school-approved apps for drawing, layout, or publishing). Lessons emphasize story planning, scripting, panel composition, visual clarity, and revision processes.
