I was the original poster who was frustrated with IB exclusivity, but I eventually got hired by an IB school. They are going through the certification process soon, which might be why it was easier to get a position, but my patience seems to have paid off.

As far as the curriculum, I like what I've read about PYP, but I will have to wait until next year to see what it's like. Until then I'll be getting to know my copy of "Making the PYP Happen."

Thanks for the advice/encouragement on this thread.

I've been encountering a problem in my job hunt again and again and again and again...

I'm an elementary teacher with a solid resume, good references, and experience with inquiry based learning. I want to work at a PYP school, but every school I talk to refuses to hire teachers without PYP experience. How is anyone able to get PYP experience when all of the schools refuse to hire people who don't have it? Is anyone else coming across this problem? How do you get in the club?
