Re: Australian teaching couple trailing three kids - advice

We do not have experience with British curriculum, nor do we have IB experience. We did end up at an IB school that is willing to train us. I was very pleased with how much our Search Associate helped us and encouraged us throughout the process. I think we are in similar situations, in that we have a lot of teaching experience and leadership, but not in IB.

Re: Australian teaching couple trailing three kids - advice

My husband and I also have three children. We signed up with Search this year and they were very encouraging that we were strong candidates, even though we were worried about having three children. We had several interviews, both through Skype and at the Cambridge job fair, and ended up with two offers. I would think that with your husbands math/science area you would be successful.

Re: My Cambridge Fair Diary

I just wanted to post to say that having dependents does not mean that you will not be competitive. My husband and I decided to go back to international schools this year and signed up with SEARCH. We weren't sure how competitive we would be since we have 3 dependents. We ended up interviewing with over 10 different schools and received multiple offers. We attended the job fair in Cambridge and really enjoyed the experience. It was great to have many options there at the same time and be able to weigh multiple offers and decided on what was best all at once.
