That's great to hear! If the job I find is not IB, should I still accept it though?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot guys!

eion-padraig: I'm fairly acculturated to the US but my root is in China, that's why I want to go back work and live there. Yes I don't really have any preferences of the school, as long as it offers IB program that I can get some experience from, it will be fine. Do you know any Chinese schools in particular that I can have a chance getting in?

Hello everyone, I am currently doing a master's program in adolescence education in math. I will have my teaching certificate by summer 2014, and I am very interested becoming a international teacher (preferably in China) afterwards. My questions are:

1. I don't have any prior teaching experience other than a semester of student teaching and teaching assistant for a summer. What are the odds that I get hired right out of school? I am willing to go to any school as long as it's in China.

2. I am a native Chinese, I came to US when I was 16 and had my education here afterwards. Would the fact that I am not a native English speaker impact negatively on my international teaching career? Although I will be teaching middle school/high school math, and my English is very fluent, I'm still a little bit concerned after I see some schools prefer teachers to be native English speakers in subjects other than English.

Hope you can answer my questions, thank you in advance!
