NEED FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF (Career Titles)
|
The most pressing and urgent need right now is for a language arts and homeroom teacher for grades 1-2. A native English speaker is strongly preferred; that is, one who learned English as a first language when first learning to talk. This teacher will have to begin work on August 23, 2002, but applications and inquiries will be accepted until the position is filled or until December 31, 2002.
The second most pressing need is for a grades 3-4 homeroom teacher. By YIA definition a homeroom teacher is one who teaches most of the subjects in the grade curriculum. This need will become urgent by the end of the Fall Semester of 2002. Applications and inquiries will be accepted until February 1, 2003.
The third need is for a science teacher for middle and high school. YIA will follow the "doubling up" option for grades 7-12 in both science and social studies. In these two areas each course is taught only every other year. By following the "doubling up"option one science or social studies teacher can teach the whole curriculum from grades 7-12 if he or she is qualified. This need for a science teacher will also become urgent by the end of Fall Semester of 2002. Applications and inquiries will be accepted until February 1, 2003.
The fourth need is for a grades 5-6 homeroom teacher. This need will become urgent by the end of the Spring Semester of 2003. Applications and inquiries will be accepted until July 1, 2003.
The fifth need is for a math teacher for grades 7-10, who can teach pre-algebra, algebra I, plane geometry, and algebra II. This need will become urgent by 6/30/03. Applications and inquiries will be accepted until July 1, 2003.
The sixth need is for a new headmaster. The headmaster must be fluent in English, but if he knows Korean he can deal with every day problems of administration. There is a Korean kindergarten on one side of this school and a Korean school on the other side. Also Korean is the first language of most of the people on the staff in our supporting university. A Korean Canadian, a Korean Englishman, a Korean Australian, or a Korean American will be ideal for this position. Applications and inquiries will be accepted until July 1, 2003, or until the position is filled by someone other than the current headmaster.

Beginning with the Fall Semester of 2002 YIA will pay full-time teachers about US $230 a month. Things are inexpensive in northeastern China, but this is still cutting it very close. Our university will provide adequate housing. Mondays through Fridays lunches are provided free to our teachers and staff. Our food is a mixture of Chinese, Korean, and Western. We have an excellent cook and the food is good. Meals in the University cafeteria are US $0.43 each. Most of our teachers are volunteers who raise their own support or they are supported by individuals, local assemblies, or sending agencies. We also have a few who are retired and now work here. If a person does his or her own cooking, it can be a little expensive. Neither the University nor the school pays for air transportation here and back. Yanbian University of Science and Technology has done an excellent job of recruiting teachers for YIA.
