University faculty transitioning to international schools

This is one of those “How do we stack up?” questions.

My wife and I want to teach at an international school in within the next two years. We are currently full-time faculty for an American university that that has a cross-boarder program in China.

QUALIFCATIONS
-- 7 years teaching abroad (China) for an American university
-- ME: MA in TESOL
-- WIFE: MS in Instructional Technology, MFA in Creative writing
-- We will pursue licenses from Massachusetts or Wisconsin. Massachusetts will grant us licenses after passing the MTEL test (preliminary license). Wisconsin requires a teaching dossier and two years of full-time university teaching for licensure (License based on Equivalency Pathway).
-- We are both full-time university faculty for an American university with a cross-border program in China teaching Composition I and Composition II to Chinese university students who are earning their Chinese university degrees and American university degrees simultaneously.
-- Both of us have done academic research and have presented at international conferences, such as JALT and AsiaTEFL.
-- Both of us have led in-house PD workshops for the cross-border program.

GEOGRAPHIC PREFERENCES (in order)
-- Taiwan
-- Thailand
-- Japan
-- Malaysia
-- Hong Kong
-- Mainland China
-- We are open to Vietnam or Korea

STRIKES
-- No K-12 experience
-- We have a preschool-aged son

Ideally, we want to get hired by a decent (vague term, I know) school in one of the countries listed above. Our first choice is Taiwan because we speak Chinese and we have visited there several times.

Thanks.
