Each year, KJEC selects 4 high schools (2 from South Korea and 2 Japan) and 8 KJEC teachers (4 Native English teachers and 4 Japanese / Korean English teachers) to participate and help lead the program. To ensure the KJEC Experience is free for all participants, we ask that teachers volunteer to help plan and facilitate the program.
KJEC selects the 4 schools based on a holistic perspective that seeks to take into consideration the school’s resources and fit within our targeted demographics and the teachers’ qualifications and ability to serve as volunteers. The selection process includes an online application and online interview.
Teachers should have a passion for their students and the spirit to help actualize the mission of the KJEC. We are looking for candidates who are hard working, creative, and adaptable and are motivated to build connections and learning opportunities for all participants. We are seeking teachers who believe in the importance of educational equity and social justice.
Selected teachers will be required to attend the Experience for the full duration, participate actively in pre-camp planning including selecting six students from their school to participate, and facilitate individual lessons and activities and help chaperone students during the program. The Experience is an incredible opportunity for teachers to gain leadership development and build connections with their students and students from different high schools in Korea and Japan.
