1st timer -Asia
Hello
I am an Australian teacher looking to work at an international school in Asia. I am a bit confused about the tiers of schools that others refer to in the forum. Are these an official ranking system or personal opinion? Are they about the quality of education students receive or the quality of the workplace for a teacher?
As a first time applicant for an overseas posting, am I likely to get a look in at a great/excellent school or do I need to start at the bottom? To help you answer that -I have 14 years teaching experience, secondary English and Drama plus someHistory and Visual Arts, MYP experience, taught in both co-ed and all girls', pastoral care experience eg: year co-or donator and head of house, almost finished my masters.
I think I am most interested in Singapore, but also Thailaland, Malaysia or Japan. Would prefer city to rural. Any great schools that you could recommend to me? My only direct knowledge is of the Australian International Schools in Singapore and KL.
Thank you very much (and I know these are huge questions!),
