SEAC Charter School

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 Anthropology, 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 not only in the pursuit of high quality educational programming, but also in carrying forward.

South-East Asia Center’s mission since 1979 of building interethnic bridges. 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. Our ethnic foibles are as important to recognize and study as our feats of accomplishment. And a global rather than 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 unites South-East Asia Center’s current educational programs, which enroll over 160 children at the Center’s campus in northeast Chicago.
