About
Us
The
staff at International Schools Review has many years of combined overseas
teaching experience. We have all lived and taught
in a variety
of countries, from the first world to the extreme third world. Most importantly,
we all agree that our years of overseas teaching and learning have been
the highlight of our lives.
Each of us here as ISR has had the good fortune of experiencing a number
of top-notch schools and directors, welcoming host countries and wonderful
travel opportunities. Conversely, we have all been lured-in by directors
who were not exactly forthright in their description of their school
and/or host country. Had we been privileged to the first-hand type of
information found in ISR we would have successfully avoided these episodes
in our lives.
Some years ago, a series of articles were published in a well known periodical
concerning teachers breaking their contracts with overseas schools. A
group of teachers wrote in to say that they had been treated unfairly
by what they felt were less than professional directors, and upon their
resignation were summarily barred by the major recruiting agencies. Many
of these individuals were seasoned overseas teachers that would not normally
leave a position.
In response to these articles, and our own personal experiences, International
Schools Review came into existence. With so many truly wonderful opportunities
available in the world of international teaching, a worldwide network
of teachers keeping each other informed will be of tremendous value to
us all.
We hope you'll join our network of International
Educators Keeping Each Other Informed.
