Instructor Application

Thank you for your interest in BEE Global! BEE Global considers each application very carefully based on its content, so please respond as thoroughly and thoughtfully as possible. And don't worry: if you can't answer a question, or have difficulty identifying relevant experience. In forming our leadership teams, we carefully balance co-instructors' competencies, talents, and skills. We look forward to learning more about you!


Section I: Personal Information



In which BEE global program are you interested?







Section 2: Past Experience



1. How has your educational and/or professional background qualified you to excel as a Field Instructor for BEE Global? Please be sure to detail your relevant regional travel experiences, language fluency, time spent living in-country, depth/breadth of contacts, and demonstrations of passion for the history and culture of the destination country.



2. Detail your experience leading or facilitating groups. Be sure to include course names and dates, or years employed by a guiding/education/therapeutic company.



3. BEE Global Field Instructors often have their own contacts, friends and acquaintances that they incorporate into their courses to help the students become more engaged with the country. If you have any personal in-country contacts that might enhance the quality of your program, please identify them (e.g. contacts with NGOs, potential home-stay families, guest lecturers; information on past retreats that you have done, etc).



4. Do you have any personal interests or research experience (academic, artistic, spiritual, or cultural) that you feel comfortable incorporating into lessons for BEE Global students? In what ways do you believe your teaching would enhance the student experience?



Section III: interpersonal skills and leadership style

1. In working with adolescents and co-instructors in rugged environments within a developing country, BEE Global instructors are asked to fulfill many roles, including teacher, parent, friend, guide, counselor and health professional. In which role(s) do you feel that you would be most competent? Where do you foresee challenges?

2. Describe your personal teaching style.

3. If friends and colleagues were asked to describe you as a role model, what would they say?

4. Because we work in exciting, ever-changing, and sometimes remote environments, plans often change. Can you give an example of how you've managed to lead using sound judgement and positive energy in the face of adversity or plan changes?

5. BEE Global courses often take participants to "off-the-beaten-path" locations, exposing them to completely new and often challenging environments, and consistently encouraging them to step out of their "comfort zones." Imagine a scenario in which a student of yours was experiencing a significant challenge being so far away from home in a strange environment.

6. What would you like your fellow instructors and the students to say about you at the end of the course?
