ELIC teachers are required to raise their own financial
support to serve overseas. As a part of your support-raising
package, you will receive a number of benefits. ELIC's
all-inclusive financial profile ensures that all of
your needs are met. Actual costs for the services listed
below are higher than the amount ELIC teachers are required
to raise. ELIC is able to offset those costs through
significant donations from friends and foundations.

for China.

and equip you with photo cards and other support team
building resources.

Complete Training
One of the hallmarks of our organization is the quality
of training provided to all program participants. In
addition to a complete training manual, seminars on
key aspects of culture, curriculum, and team dynamics
are some of the important training components designed
to ensure a rewarding and positive experience in China.

Mid-Year Conference in Thailand
Each year, we gather all of our teachers together for
an enriching week of rest and recreation during the
mid-winter break. All conference expenses are covered,
including a transportation allowance from your home
in China.
back to top
Placement on a Team
Each of our teachers lives and works in the context
of community. As an ELIC teacher, you will be placed
on a team in China. Your team can be a valuable source
of friendship, teaching ideas, and general support overseas.
ELIC will not place an individual in isolation from
other teachers.

Curriculum Resources
Curriculum professionals provide our teachers with resources
specifically designed for our teaching programs. In
addition, each teaching site is equipped with a resource
library for our teachers. You will also receive a quality
professional journal, which is produced quarterly in
country by ELIC. Each of these resources is designed
to ensure that you will be able to deliver excellence
and have a positive professional experience.
back to top
Extended Service Support
Because the application and initial care costs apply
only to the first year, the cost of additional years
of service will be slightly lower.
back to top
In-Person Debriefing
ELIC provides an in-person debriefing at the end of
each teacher's time of service with ELIC. The
debriefing is designed to help teachers adjust back to
their home culture and make the transition back to life in
North America.
