REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

Please attach ONE document that includes your resume and responses to the following questions:

1) Your Interest: Volunteering with BECA would probably be one of the most challenging, yet fulfilling tasks you have ever undertaken. Given that the challenges can be significant, why are you interested and what experiences demonstrate that you will be able to contribute to our students' education?

2) Team Player: Our teachers work long hours and live without many of the luxuries that we are accustomed to (warm water, air conditioning, bathtubs, etc.). Therefore, it is absolutely crucial that teachers work together and support one another, both inside and outside the classroom. What experiences demonstrate your ability to work as a member of a team?

3) Future Plans: What are your future personal and professional plans? If selected as a BECA teacher, how do you think your experience with BECA will assist you with those plans?

4) For Program Administrator Candidates only: Please provide at least two relevant examples of your own successful leadership in challenging circumstances.
