Special Ed Teacher Needed for a School in China

Are you a teacher with a background in special ed? Would you like to work in CHINA?

A dear friend of mine from way back in my undergrad days (AUGIE!) has been serving at this school in Bao’an and they are currently looking to hire a new teacher. Here are the details:

Working in Chinese orphanages, Sunshine Academy provides education and evening caregiving for preschool and kindergarten aged children living in Chinese Government Social Welfare Centers (orphanages).

We are currently looking for a certified teacher with special education background to serve as the head counselor (lead teacher) of our school in Bao’an, Shenzhen. The head counselor serves two primary roles: that of a teacher as well as administrator. The teaching duties include teaching English to our preschool and kindergarten students as well as music. The administrative duties include building a teaching team, coaching and evaluating teachers, coordinating with orphanage administration, evaluating students, overseeing evening programming and overall onsite direction for the school and evening programs.

Our school in Bao’an has 50 children ages 3-6. Many of the children have physical, emotional or mental disabilities, hence we are looking for applicants with a background in Special Education. Bao’an is a district of the large city of Shenzhen which is located in Southeastern China on the boarder to Hong Kong. Shenzhen is a modern city with many Western conveniences and a sizable foreign community. This position will begin August 2010 and will include on the job training for the newly hired head counselor.

Drop me an email if you’re interested and I’ll connect you with my dear friend.

Thanks and blessings!
