School Assembly Performer Job Summary

We are looking for a School Assembly Performer to present our proven entertaining and educational school assembly programs to students around the country using our pre-packaged assembly programs or an approved program of their own creation. We have been operating as the premier producers and presenters of school assembly programs in America for over 40 years! We offer a huge catalog and variety of in-person and virtual school assembly programs produced by Mobile Ed Productions as well along with some unique programs produced by the very talented Performers we employ. Upon joining out team, you will receive full training on the programs and equipment creating the opportunity to deliver educational and entertaining shows to students across America. Our program selection ranges from portable planetariums & domes, science & technology, earth sciences, upbeat anti-bullying seminars, social emotional learning topics, to shockingly accurate historical character representations... and everything in between!

We currently offer in-person school assembly programs that require our performers to travel from venue to venue on a coordinated and specified tour using a route that we provide. We also offer virtual school assembly programs that do not require travel. The most successful performers are flexible and able to do both. Mobile Ed Productions takes care of the most difficult elements of touring as a performer such as acquiring clients, scheduling bookings, contracts and handling logistics such as routing, insurance, tax forms, etc. We also serve, support, and stand by our performers with a team of dedicated individuals ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Since our clients are located around the country, you must be available to serve within your immediate area as well as potentially tour and travel to adjacent states within an agreed-upon radius or area. We are flexible and take pride in treating our performers with the highest degree and level of service possible.

Our ideal applicant is able to be on the road and away from their home location for 1-3 weeks at a time depending on their comfort level. Our applicant might be a passionate, energetic, and driven individual such as a new educator or college students in teaching fields, or a seasoned, passionate, and more experienced teachers - perhaps even retired. We also have a number of Performers with extensive entertainment and theater backgrounds that are a wonderful fit!

Mobile Ed Performers must be able to think critically and actively solve issues that may arise with a degree of professionalism that is to be expected from the highest level of educators. While we prefer teachers who have classroom experience, those who are new to the vocation or aspiring are also welcome and encouraged to apply. In fact, it may be very desirable for an aspiring teacher to take on this career as it pays very well and provides a very unique opportunity to travel while bolstering their resume with real-world educational and performance experience.
