poste de direction d'école
 
 
L'École Franco-Américaine de Chicago (EFAC) recrute un directeur ou une directrice pour la rentrée 2008-09.  
 
L'EFAC est une petite structure au sein de deux écoles publiques de la ville de Chicago (à 600m l'une de l'autre), avec 80 élèves répartis de la Grande section de Maternelle à la Terminale.  Les élèves, obligatoirement francophones, suivent en parallèle le cursus de leur école américaine et le programme de l'EFAC qui est accrédité par l'Education nationale de la Grande section de Maternelle au CM2, et rattaché au Cned pour les classes de la 6e à la Terminale.
 
Le personnel comprend quatre enseignants et une assistante maternelle.  L'EFAC est constituée comme un organisme à but non lucratif sous les lois de l'Illinois et gérée par un conseil de parents élus.
 
La mission de l'école est de donner à ses élèves une éducation bilingue et de les rendre capables de poursuivre leurs études dans l'une ou l'autre des langues.  Les tâches de la direction sont multiples: représentation auprès des autorités américaines du district scolaire et françaises du consulat et de l'éducation nationale, communication avec les familles, encadrement des enseignants, gestion administrative des inscriptions et des activités, établissement et application du projet d'école, présence sur les deux campus.  Cependant, la taille réduite de l'école ne requiert qu'une direction à mi-temps.
 
Une excellente maîtrise de la langue anglaise, ainsi qu'un minimum de 3 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement primaire ou secondaire, sont indispensables.  En outre, les candidats doivent faire preuve de flexibilité, de diplomatie, d'efficacité et d'autorité, de capacités d'organisation et de communication, de compétences informatiques et d'une vision innovante et collégiale de l'éducation.  On avantagera les candidats ayant une bonne compréhension des systèmes éducatifs français et américains.

Position of school director
 
The French-American School of Chicago (EFAC) is looking for a director starting with the 2008-09 school-year.
 
The school is a small program within two Chicago Public schools (about 1/2 mile from each other), with 80 students from Kindergarten to 12^th grade.  Students, who must be French speakers, follow the regular curriculum and alongside the EFAC program which is accredited with the French ministry of education for K-5 and linked to the Cned (French distance-learning center) for 6-12.
 
The staff includes four full-time teachers and one kindergarten assistant.  EFAC is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization under the laws of the state of Illinois, and is managed by an elected board of parents.
 
The school's mission is to give its students a bilingual education and make them able to pursue their studies in either language.  The director's tasks are many: coordination with the American authorities of Chicago Public Schools and the French authorities of the consulate and ministry of education, communication with the families, supervision of the teachers, administrative management of registration and activities, design and implementation of the school plan, presence on both campuses.  But the small size of the program only requires a part-time director's position.
 
Requirements include perfect fluency in French and a minimum of 3 years of teaching experience in a school setting (K through 12). Candidates must display flexibility, a diplomatic touch, efficiency and authority; good organization and communication, technological savvy as well as a progressive and collaborative approach to education.  Preference will be given to those candidates that demonstrate a thorough understanding of the French and American school systems with the ability to navigate and work within each system.
