Request for Education Committee Members

South-East Asia Center (SEAC) is seeking an experienced educator to participate in its Education Committee. We are looking for an educator with expertise in fields such as, but not limited, Educational Anthropolgy, Sociology of Education, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Instructional Methods, Childhood Development or Language Development. This person should be non-ethnocentric, interpersonally and cross culturally sensitive, patient, open-minded, well organized, as well as being a good listener.

The Committee's current major focus is in the pursuit of a charter school to be named The Bridge International Charter School.

South-East Asia Center's mission for 24 years has been building interethnic bridges, and this mission will be carried forth in the Charter School utilizing SEAC's educational experience in building bridges over that time. SEAC believes that peoples understanding each other more profoundly, non-ideologically, and empirically is a key towards more harmonious interethnic, international relations.

Profundity leads to the realization that our superficial differences--much over emphasized by many educators today--are always underlain by basic human commonalities. One ethnic foibles are as important to recognize and study as our feats of accomplishment. And a global rather tha a provincial approach to learning, we belive, will help children to understand each other and guide our future generations on the road to harmony.

The bridge school will unite South-East Asia Center's current educational programs, which enroll over 150 children at the Center's campus in northeast Chicago.

Please call Michael Blasi at 773-262-3652 or Peter Porr at 773-989-6927 to learn more about this opportunity to assist an organization with a truly worthy mission. Or e-mail us at seac1134@yahoo.com.
