Volunteer Teacher in Honduras Featured
Volunteer Teach in Honduras 2019 - 2020 (room & board included) BECA’s mission is to provide quality bilingual education to the educationally disenfranchised while fostering meaningful cultural exchange. Our model is built on a partnership between Hondurans committed to quality, progressive education and international volunteers interested in a truly meaningful cultural collaboration. BECA recruits English-speaking volunteers to fill teaching positions at our three unique bilingual schools in Honduras. The Classroom Teacher is a team member who plays an integral role in the bilingual education of our students.

Please note that applicants need not be certified teachers or fluent Spanish speakers. Currently, we are recruiting volunteer teachers for our bilingual (Catholic) school located at Amigos de Jesus Bilingual School (ADJ) ADJ is located in the beautiful countryside, about an hour from San Pedro Sula, the business capital of Honduras.

Under a strong Catholic faith, the children are loved by all, knowing that they have a forever home. ADJ is a self-sustainable community with its own Catholic chapel, lumber mill, family-style homes, farm animals, and robust vegetable gardens. Our ADJ volunteers live and work on-site at ADJ. While volunteers do not have to be of any faith or religion to teach there, the community is one grounded in the Catholic faith. When BECA volunteers teach at ADJ, they never want to leave. It is an incredibly spiritual and truly beautiful community. Benefits: Travel stipends are available on a case-by-case basis as well as needs-based scholarships to ensure that anyone who wants to make this commitment can do so. There is no fee to volunteer with us and applicants need not be certified teachers or fluent Spanish speakers. BECA provides shared living accommodation; a daily food stipend, temporary residency status, 6-week Intensive Summer Teaching Training, ongoing teacher support, and professional development opportunities. Volunteers are responsible for their flights to Honduras, health insurance to cover them while they are in country, and background check costs.

The primary role of the Program Admin is to work as a liason between BECA volunteer teachers and the Honduran staff at the school both in logistical matters like calendar and staff meetings and in cultural matters like assisting with event-planning for school holidays and supporting collaboration between a culturally-diverse staff.

  For the 2019 - 2020 school year, our one-year teaching commitment begins in July 2019 and ends in June 2020. Teachers have a holiday break from approximately Dec. 20 until Jan. 6. All selected volunteer teachers are assigned to an elementary classroom, a middle school classroom, or a resource teacher role. BECA interviewers will explain the differences between the three positions in detail, but for now we have listed the general responsibilities required of all teachers. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES Facilitate relationships with parents and other community members Lesson-plan and teach in English all subject areas with the exception of Español and Estudios Sociales Foster a safe and productive classroom environment for students Serve as a Lunch/Recess monitor Support your fellow teachers in school and at home Serve as an ambassador for BECA by helping to spread the word about our work through your various networks ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES Maintain attendance records for all students in your homeroom File a copy of your weekly lesson plans Provide the Administration with a copy of your weekly class schedule Sign Attendance Book upon entering/leaving school each day (required by law) Ensure classroom is ready for students at beginning of each school day Attend all teacher meetings Keep the Administration informed of any problems or concerns (disciplinary or otherwise) you are having with students Keep student files updated with the necessary information Keep the office informed of extended absences of students EXAM ADMINISTRATION RESPONSIBILITIES Grade exams Collect performance grades from other teachers and prepare Bimester report cards Fill out electronic and hard-copy versions of grading spreadsheet OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES Plan and organize extracurricular activities for students Attend Association of Parents Meetings (at discretion of Administrator) Participate in fundraising efforts to support BECA's program costs SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS A commitment to BECA's mission and a dedication to social justice Fluency in English Strong interpersonal and cross-cultural skills Capacity to manage multiple taks simultaneously Willingness to operate in a low-resource environment under challenging living conditions While BECA asks for a one year commitment from our volunteer teachers, we actively encourage teachers to consider returning following their initial year with us. BECA recognizes that there are huge benefits to teachers returning for a second year. Returning teachers are much more effective in the classroom thanks to their previous year's experience. Just as importantly for a community school model like ours, returners serve as a bridge between new teachers and the community, helping new team members adapt to their roles much more quickly than they otherwise would. Second-year teachers are offered a monthly stipend, which is designed to cover all out-of-pocket expenses that a volunteer might incur during their time with BECA.
