Re: Advice on where to start!!

Thanks for the feedback. As for us...we are not "tourist" teachers. If that were the case we would pack up and teach English somewhere. My husband was approached by a tier 1 school a year ago when this wasn't even on our radar but we haven't been able to stop thinking about the possibilities since.

When I said we want a good school, I was thinking more along the lines of academics, hard working staff, and admin. We are bringing two children with us and want them to receive a great education. We are not expecting to be "pampered" in any way and we fully understand we will be making far less if we teach overseas. We are in this for experiences we will gain as teachers and for our family.

My science cert will work 6-12 and I also have my minor in Maths, just never needed to add the endorsement. Will I need it added to teach math overseas?

My husbands has been department head for 6 years and has filled in as Asst Principal for maternity leave. He has other minor things here. Will these things be favorable in looking at admin positions?

We haven't signed up with a premium agency bc we knew we are late in the game and were unable to attend any fairs bc of coaching commitments. We have signed up with TIE and are enjoying looking at different schools and positions to see what is out there.

Advice on where to start!!

Hi There!

My husband and I are starting to look into this IT thing. I am k-8 certified with 6-8 science my husband is secondary social studies with 5 years all in AP classes. He also has his masters in Admin. We are not too picky on where we end up location wise but we do want to be in a good school. We will be bringing children with us ( one of which is school aged )

From all the research we have done, we keep seeing both ends of the spectrum for EVERYTHING!!! Locations, types of schools, where to look for jobs, likely-hood of us finding jobs ect.

I am hoping for hear from someone who has a similar back story to us. Two teachers, 10+ years of experience, children in tow.

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Re: Open Spanish Positions

I saw that Singapore American School has a middle school Spanish position right now.

We are trying to figure out if it worth paying as well. Figured we would do our own applying this year and if we need to next year join Search or ISS.

Good luck!
