Dr. Yingchao Zhang wins the full respect and support from our community for his insightful observations, his creative initiatives, his dedicated commitments, his common ground searching, his diplomatic open-minded approaches, and his constitutional spirits. His contribution to our community sets up a good example for our children to follow. Every year he goes to local elementary school classrooms to offer his one-man-band show-and-tell, which amazed children and teachers. My little son and his friends are his big fans.
He led my local Chinese School community (more than 600 families) twice as the board chair. Especially the second time when we were challenged with something beyond our experiences, Yingchao stepped up and was elected with high endorsement by the general members. Together with the board and school administrators, he creatively initiated dialogues, brainstormed solutions, and guided our school back on the right track. He also shared his thoughtful opinions about improving teaching, teaching materials, and teaching tools and carefully listened to general members’ feedback. He is an open minded thinker and a careful action taker.
His solid education background as a PhD in nuclear physics provided him a better understanding of our education systems in general. His public service over the past 10 years shows that Yingchao is not only willing to help, but also capable of supporting with a wealth of knowledge about our district’s history and vision of the future. He has three sons in local schools, and his wife, also a PhD in physics, is an AP physics teacher in a different school district, which provides him a teacher’s and students’ perspective — another practical resource for him.
Yingchao has my full trust and support to be our school district’s board member to further improve our district’s education with his rich local and international education experience and strong passion.
