Yeah, Search has their policies in place for a reason I'm sure. So, any school recommendations?

Thanks for the replies. Search said that because of the three dependents and today's market (over saturated with elementary teachers) he didn't think our chances were good. He did recommend we search on our own.

Which schools do you think we'd have a shot at? Wanting to send the resumes out soon but don't know where to start.

I'll be finishing my 4th year of IS teaching in China next year at the same school. I have a non teaching spouse and two young kids with no plans of having more children. We'd like to move to southern china or Hong Kong area next year. Any recommendations on schools to look into? Search has denied us because of the dependents. 4 years IS experience in elementary with MAT.

Thanks!

Thanks for that info! We hadn't considered that area before, but like I said earlier, we're really flexible.

I'm quite familiar with Tianjin already as I've been living in China for a few years. I'd like to move into an IB school but due to having a non teaching spouse and two dependents, I'm scoping out areas in SE Asia that won't be as competitive while still being able to have a fairly good savings potential and gain some experience in an IB school.

I currently teach in an international school, primary grade level and will have finished my 2nd two year contract next year. IST seems to have a strong reputation but in a less desirable location.

Are there other schools in China or SE Asia you'd recommend?

Great advice. Thanks! I'm looking to stay in SE Asia at this time.

I've been teaching for 3 years internationally in an American based standard curriculum school. I'd like to move to an IB school next, but am wondering if I should take a years worth of college credit to get IB certified first? I'm a primary teacher with a MAT in Elem Ed from the US.

Anyone familiar with IST/Tianjin, China? Considering this an option as it's an IB program.
