Seems it would depend on whether or not your teaching ESL as a credentialed teacher or not. And, of course, if that is reflected in the contract.

Thank you.

Would still love to better understand the vocabulary in general.

Newb question - Curriculum levels?

When filling out an application on SeekTeachers, I have to choose a "curriculum level." I only recognize 4 of of 32! :shock:

What are all these levels? Is there a list or glossary somewhere?

I see EC and Primary but not sure what applies to high school level for a US license.

Thanks

My certification areas are:
EC-12 ESL
EC-12 Spec Ed
EC-8 Generalist
Not sure how they measure this internationally, but per NCLB I am 'highly qualified' to teach HS Psychology. Texas doesn't offer a certification for that.
I will be taking the 7-12 Social Studies test on Jan 31st.


I genuinely like teaching ESL, would love to teach HS psych. Mostly, I want to move out of elementary level.

[quote="Mac1030"]Have a look at the schools listed for the UNI (US) and Queen's TORF (Canada)- a lot of these will hire newbie teachers. [/quote]

I am in a similar position (~3.5 years exp incl. Korea).

Where is the list for UNI & TORF?

Thanks

New to the IS arena. No fair, so.. what to do? Where to go?

Hello all,

I have just completed my MEd, have a US teaching license, & a 140hr TEFL cert. I have ~3.5 years exp teaching including 2 years in the Korean EPIK program.

So, I am now looking to work at international schools but between money and schedule, I cannot go to any of the fairs. It is my intention at this point to apply directly to schools.

Is there another (better) option? Thoughts?
---------------------------------------------------

Also - I am really open to going anywhere. Any suggestions as to best options? I know that is a pretty broad question.

I am something of a hermit, don't need a big city but don't mind them either. Love outdoors activities. Plan to travel when possible. Hope to bring my tiny dog (of possible).


Thank you
