Thanks for the reply.

I have a classroom as I am teaching kindergarten level at an IB school. Quite a few people here do the PGCEi approach purely for using it as an international working credential. However after hearing you explain about 2nd tier and 1st tier, a DC credential may be the way to go.

Could you explain what CT stands for? The MA provisional credential sounds like a winner as well. Would that be through an Australian university or somewhere else? I will chase my university on whether my master of education degree and its components are eligible for it.

Thanks again.

I have just under a decade of experience teaching early years in Asia at various types of schools. I know many schools won’t consider these teaching years as legit. I want to set myself on track to teach at international schools.

Friends and colleagues have taken the PGCEi in China and I am wondering if this is a good route ti get a postion at either an IB or non-IB school? Or is it only useful achools offering PGCE curriculum?

I’m Australian and doing a post graduate degree in education by distance learning. My plan is to continue teaching at international schools and I like the IB curriculum, especially PYP.

Should I take the PGCEi to be certified and considered for a homeroom tracher position? Or should I go for Teacher Ready or Teach Now or something else? Taking considerable time out of the year to go back to Australia would not be suitable. I would prefer to do things online with minimum face to face time (if that is even possible). I would also like to keep my options open in case I apply for a non-IB school in the future.

Thanks in advance.
