These programs use collaborative tabletop role-playing games to help students build communication, creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, improvisation, and positive group participation skills in a structured, age-appropriate setting.

Basic game mechanics and decision-making
Problem-solving, strategy, and creative thinking
Teamwork, communication, and inclusive group participation
Improvisation and narrative development

Ability to maintain age-appropriate, inclusive, and school-appropriate content

Preferred backgrounds include:

Teachers and aspiring educators
Experienced Dungeon Masters or tabletop game facilitators
Writers, creatives, theater/improv instructors, and storytelling professionals
Camp counselors and youth program leaders
College or graduate students studying education, English, theater, creative writing, game design, or related fields

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

Curriculum, lesson objectives, game materials, and instructional expectations vary by assignment. Some programs may include established lesson plans or campaign materials, while others may allow instructors to use age-appropriate original adventures, tabletop resources, or instructor-developed activities that align with assignment objectives and school expectations.

COMPENSATION

Compensation is determined individually for each assignment and may vary based on factors including assignment complexity, instructor qualifications, relevant experience, geographic location, scheduling considerations, specialized expertise, and school partner requirements.

Compensation details are communicated prior to assignment acceptance.

APPLICATION AND ONBOARDING

This posting is intended to identify qualified professionals for potential future independent contractor instructional opportunities.

Submitting an application does not create an employment relationship or guarantee placement, assignment offers, minimum hours, future work, or continued engagement.

Applicants selected to move forward may be invited to complete additional screening, provide documentation, complete onboarding requirements, and establish an independent contractor profile. Completion of these steps does not guarantee assignment selection.

Assignment offers remain contingent upon factors including program availability, instructor qualifications, school partner approval, scheduling compatibility, successful completion of any legally required background review or clearance process, and final written assignment confirmation.
