When you talk about third tier schools, are these schools that are recognized by educational authorities in their home country?

Also, where are these third tier schools advertising jobs? Is it worth it to sign up for Search and TIE?

Thanks for your replies everyone.

I'm going to sign up for Search Associates and check out the list of schools on Wikipedia. Hopefully I can get a bite somewhere. I don't expect the best school with my experience, but I'm willing and able to stick it out somewhere less than ideal. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to prepare a some kind of a classroom plan and my education philosophy to show that I'm serious about this kind of work. Or maybe they won't care. We'll see.

I graduated with a BEd in 2010 in the primary/junior division (from a Canadian university in Ontario). I have a teaching certificate from the Ontario College of Teachers.

When I finished, I went overseas to teach in South Korea. My first year I worked at a private school with elementary students. Currently I am working at a public middle school. I'm teaching EFL.

In retrospect, it was maybe a bad idea to teach EFL after I graduated, but I wanted to experience teaching in another country and Korea had plenty of jobs.

What are my chances of getting a job teaching at the elementary level in an International school?

I read some posts on here about new teachers fresh out of school getting jobs at international schools in China, outside of the major cities. I wouldn't mind working in China, I'm just not sure where to start getting a job there.

Would it be best to go back to Canada and get 2 years of experience?

Has anyone made the transition from ESL to teaching at an International school?
