Would You Take This Job? Digital Video Editing Teacher (Part Time)

Digital Video Editing Teacher (Part Time)

Employer: Concorde Education
Location: Austin, TX
Pay: Not listed on posting (see posting for details)
Type: Part-time — In-person, instructional

What You’ll Do

  • Plan and facilitate collaborative, interactive lessons in digital video editing.

  • Teach students a range of editing skills and software workflows, from basic cuts to more advanced post-production techniques.

  • Develop unit and lesson plans that reference curriculum standards and drive measurable student progress.

  • Provide one-on-one support, model professional behaviors, and maintain regular communication with the Director of Educational Development.

  • Collect and analyze student data to guide instruction and adapt lessons to varied skill levels.

Why It Stands Out

  • Hands-on teaching role with direct student impact and regular interaction with an educational development team.

  • Good opportunity to build teaching experience while keeping creative skills sharp (portfolio/teaching samples useful).

  • Work with diverse learners and help shape practical, career-focused media skills.

Potential Trade-offs

  • Part-time schedule — limited hours and income compared with full-time academic roles.

  • Requires lesson planning, student assessment, and potentially evening/week commitments around class schedules.

  • Needs both strong technical skills and the patience/soft skills to teach varied ability levels.

Qualifications / Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree required.

  • Teaching, tutoring, or proven instructional experience preferred.

  • Extensive hands-on experience in digital arts/video editing and familiarity with common editing tools and workflows.

  • Strong interpersonal, organizational, and lesson-planning skills.

Perks / Benefits

  • Direct teaching experience and opportunities for professional development within an educational setting.

  • Chance to mentor students and build a teaching portfolio in digital media.

“Pay: Not listed” — I’d ask that the rate include paid prep time (at least 0.5 hour per teaching hour); in my last part-time editing class, getting that added prevented burnout. Anyone taught with them in Austin?

In my last part-time Premiere class, the biggest snag was exports running past the bell; I now ask up front: ‘Is there lab time for renders, and will students use proxies on shared footage?’ If @ConcordeEducation covers licenses and provides project media on fast drives, I’d be in; if not, I’d only take it with a small gear stipend — nothing kills momentum like a 10-minute bell and a 20-minute export.

@emma9026 My must-have is admin-approved scratch SSDs per station and a locked cubby — editing off externals keeps projects stable and saves 10+ minutes each class. If IT won’t allow that, I bring a labeled shuttle drive per student as a workaround.

I’d confirm “Are CC seats pre-licensed and auto-login enabled?” Otherwise, set up local logins.
