@ educ8nc
I sound just like you! Except you know what DoDEA is and PYP....Oh boy! Can someone tell me what lingo I need to know to interview well? I'm confident in my teaching skills and past experience, and Im sure have strong recommendations, but dont know much about this whole interviewing for abroad jobs. I'm going to Cambridge too in Feb. Somehow I feel confident....guess I should update the resume for starters.

Thank you both! How do you know the Tiers of the schools? Where is that info? How important is it? Also, with all my certifications I am willing to work in a school using any of them. How do I say that w/o sounding desperate? I guess apply for all the positions that I'm certified to teach?

Do I have a shot?

I'm a newbie and will be attending the Cambridge Fair in Feb.
I'm single with a Masters +75 credits...no kids, and 5 certifications. I also have 9 years teaching experience all in Long Island, NY.
Do I have a shot? I'm excited, but after doing a lot of reading I dont have all the experience with all the acronyms...not even sure what it all means!
-Thanks!
