Thank you PsyGuy and Sid for your responses.
If objective then is to repackage wife as the main hire is Search still the right place to go? When I look at their posted leadership positions few to none look like they are ones outside of principal/head of school or IB coordinators.

Ideas/Insights for Teacher Hoping to Make Transition Abroad
Hello ISR Community:
I'm a secondary English teacher at successful public high school in the US. 15 years of experience. Ten years of experience teaching MYP English. Two years experience teaching DP. IB and AP professional development completed. Experience as head of department. Extracurricular experience in journalism and athletics. References should show me to be a strong teacher. Masters degree from a well known US school.
Goals: Find a position at an IS beginning in the 2019-2020 school year.
Challenges: Non-teaching spouse and three children (our youngest will be three, the older two will be in primary school at time of departure).
Geography of IS hoped for (in order of most to least desired we would look for): W. or E. Europe, SE Asia, Asia, S. America, L. America, and Africa. While this is specific we are open to the right situation in the right place. We are looking for a great community to join and be a part of in a part of the world that is safe, relatively pollution-free, offers good educational opportunities to our children, allows relative ease of travel to nearby locations and sites, and is generally non-restrictive to women's roles or access to the community.
Current plan: Apply to Search over this summer while researching and applying to specific schools that might be a good fit.
Additional Info: While my wife is not a teacher, she has an MBA and is a managing director at a large public US university with experience in communications and institutional advancement (fundraising). She is open to using these skills abroad at an IS. She and I both have experience living abroad.
I've followed the posts and discussions on this board for sometime and have appreciated the insight and reflections shared by the community. I'm looking for any insight, expectations I should have, and/or things to be mindful of in my particular situation.
Thank you.
