@tm2154

Very reasonable.
Would you keep that policy though indefinitely or if you move to a region where theres a social insurance scheme or another IS with a more advantageous policy where you dont have to pay first and be reimbursed? How does that policy work once you retire? How long can you keep that policy and under what conditions would they cancel it or not renew it?
It seems like a lot of future foretelling on variables with a wide range of values where the predictive validity could very quickly disappear.

Its not just events. Of course civics, poli.sci. government will also differ. The literary cannon of works differs. Sports focus differs. Science content tends to be congruent though scope and sequence differ. An IT would have to adjust the delivery time and sequence, and may find themselves having to produce new lessons and units for material that has been moved to different grades/years, though the content of the lesson will be similar enough. Math in the UK NC tends to be more congruent in content with the US NC but the structure is substantially different as the curriculum integrates maths disciplines throughout the course, whereas the US NC course utilizes discreet disciplines (algebra, trig, geometry, calculus, and statistics), but the content is highly congruent.
Both fine arts and ICT tends to be similar enough that little more than minimal adjustments are needed, but that depends on the IT and what their focus and previous experience has been.

@Intl.Teach

My opinion is worth all of zero which again, is the same amount your opinion is worth.

The parent claimants are the legal guardian of the child victim and advocating and pursing justice for their child that they are responsible for. I applaud their continued pursuit of justice for their child who has been victimized by Miss Pedo, who is in my absolutely worth nothing opinion, is guilty for running and remains a fugitive.
Maybe the police and the prosecutors and the IS staff and leadership are all in on it individually or collectively but if pointing fingers and hurling accusations at anybody and everybody who isnt Miss Pedo, who is a fugitive makes you feel better, than again, a trial is the mechanism to resolve those issues.

I dont know if it really is best to "get on a good international health insurance whilst healthy", for two reasons.
First, I dont see how that can work. International Health Insurance (IHI) tends to be short term or temporary. They tend to have one year policies that you can renew or reapply, but they arent obligated to accept someone. Could an individual IT really enroll and keep an IHI policy across multiple countries (presumably) with coverage that would apply to high expense chronic conditions, and keep it into and throughout retirement, or at least throughout an ITs career? You could probably make it happen at a high enough premium point with the caveat that it would only last as long as the IT is reasonably healthy. The moment it becomes more coin than its worth to the insurer is the point thats going to be the last year the IT is going to be able to enroll.
Second, would it really make fiscal sense to do so? If you assume the previous point is accurate thats a lot of coin from the IT going to waste, especially if the IS or the social insurance scheme of the region provides for comprehensive care. It would be more practical advice for an IT to figure out a place to settle prior to getting chronically disabled or sick. Simply because mandated social insurance schemes will pay for those high expense chronic conditions where something like travel insurance or IHI wont.

@Heliotrope

Youre welcome to call them the same.

No, I have not.

Those arent different emotions. They are the polar ends of one emotion, well being. One end being happiness and the other end being sadness. A negative event would reduce the happiness of a positive event (or inverse a positive event would improve the negative event). They arent experienced separately.

@Erika1607

It doesnt really matter. You cant have a social studies credential and apply for maths and get it. They will look at your credentials and insert what you have into your dossier subject fields with a limit of three. If you have more than three they tend to start with the oldest (whatever you were awarded first), but thats not a rule or anything. If after your QTS is issued you dont like whats in the fields you can write them an email and ask them to change them, they might, they might not.

QTS is neither age nor subject specific... BUT!

As far as IE is concerned unless a recruiter or leader still has access to the system from when they were in the UK, unless they ask you to screen shot what the subject fields are in your dossier they would have to convince someone at the TCL/TRA to disclose it to them on a phone call.
The but comes in only in regard to DE in the UK. A leader who assigned a DT to a classroom that is in their dossier would be fine, they would probably be fine if it was an adjacent subject and they had some modicum of support for it. Where it would become an issue is assigning say a history DT to a maths class and their only justification for it was the DT had QTS. H.M. inspectorate would have questions for that and those questions might become issues.
In IE it wouldnt matter even at a BSO. Ofsted has different priorities and objectives for DE and DSs, than the Dfe inspectorates for BSOs do. They are just looking for the portion of teaching staff that have QTS (and equivalents), how many are ECTs, and if the IS provides Induction. For BSOs in the credentialing area (and its a small criterion in the overall report) the more common issues (and again, its a minor issue) is what constitutes an equivalent credential far more often than what classroom assignments match teaching subjects in ITs dossiers.
What BSs generally do is look for QTS (which indicates teaching competency such as meds/peds/asst and then look for the major field of study (sometimes the minor field of study) and thats what your qualified to teach, with some allowance for adjacent subjects.

As a US IT in social studies there are some fields that leadership at BSs are very hesitant to appoint or assign, such as geography (its a rare major in the US and general social studies wont cut it for A*). History also tends to be an issue. There are some events in history that have a different UK/EUR slant to them than the US version. Theres also a very significant dichotomy to the amount of content for various shared events. The War of (American) Independence gets maybe a days lesson sometime during KS3 compared to a coupe years if not more in US lower secondary. Its just not a very important event compared to other events such the French Revolution. England was good at getting colonies and bad at keeping them.
This also applies to discreet subjects in the social studies composite that are discreet subjects in the UK curriculum such as Economics and Psychology, especially at A* and IGCSE. Where youre going to find the biggest value is at lower secondary humanities subjects and BSs that have a international division or academy and they offer more US/American centric courses (and they actually need someone to teach American history, etc.)

@Akabana

Inquiries:
1) Are you a UK or US citizen, or if a non-US citizen or in possession of PR do you have a US SS# (Social Security Number)?

2) Your B.Sc, is it an integrated degree with your M.Sc, is it a three year or four year bachelors/first degree?

3) In MA which credentialing exam would you pursue?

4) Have you completed a transcript evaluation of your academics? Has the FL DOE reviewed and confirmed that your internship hours would be acceptable and have they confirmed that your academics meet two of the three course requirements, or is it just you think so?

If you have only the standard three year bachelors/first degree as evaluated by a credential evaluation service youre not likely to meet the requirements of any of the three programs you identified. Id recommend SpanTran (TEC) as they tend to take a broader approach to foreign academic evaluations.

If you do not have a US SS# you can not obtain a FL credential. You will need a SS# to register for the FTCE (they do not accept alternatives).
You would have to have a counselor position in FL to qualify for the plan two FL Sch.Cou. credential. Its an experiential (mentorship) pathway and had you read further youd see in subsection three:
"3) Applicants using Plan Two shall submit verification from the employing school district to attest that a school counselor with a state-issued professional certificate as specified in Rule 6A-4.004, F.A.C., will be assigned as the applicant’s mentor during the first two (2) years of employment as a school counselor.".

You cant meet that requirement outside of FL.

The AZ credential I was referring to is the Subject Matter Expert Credential. You can find it here.

https://www.azed.gov/educator-certifica ... icate-6-12

Your degrees may (the three vs. four year degree may matter) meet the requirements and you can postpone the deficiencies (the pro. edu. exam, and the ethics requirement) for two years.
There is both an online option for the Ethics requirement (a four hour NASDTEC course) and various teaching exam options including the PRAXIS which are available globally.

It looks easier than the MA provisional pathway because you can delay exams (which have issues as described below) but unlike MA you have to complete a CRB for AZ, which will require you to get finger print cards in the mail, be fingerprinted, and then mail those back and wait for them to be processed which will take months. The MA DOE doesnt do that.

The other issue is that while you can take comparable exams the Subject Matter Expert Credential may require a SSN# and congruent possession of US citizenship, PR, or an appropriate visa. Though AZ is more likely to accept a three year bachelors/first degree.

While AZ would accept your psychology field of study towards the social studies credential. MA would require a subject mater exam, and they dont have a psychology or social science exclusive credential or exam. If that was your selection youd be looking at a history/social studies exam thats about 20% social sciences but the rest is world history, US history, civics/poli.sci., and economics. I have no doubt youd be okay on the social science (psyc. and soc.) but what do you know of the others, especially US history and US civics? You may need to look at an alternative depending what your strengths are: some suggestions would be:
1) Middle School Humanities: A very broad area of social studies and literature but at the lower secondary level, even though it still contains US specific content.
2) Middle School Science and Math: Pretty much universal concepts and if you can handle some lite algebra for the math theres nothing too difficult here that someone who passed their GCSEs shouldnt be able to figure out.
3) ESOL: Depends how much you know about teaching meds/peds/asst rather than language ability, but an ESOL book for idiots/dummys may get you by. This area unlike the middle school areas above has a much broader range since you can use the same test to apply for both the secondary and primary credentials giving you an all-levels K12/KS credential.

If you cant handle those testing requirements than you could still potentially obtain an executive leadership credential (MA Provisional Administrator, Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent) credential, assuming you can pass the literacy exam and have three years of IE experience you can document. That would still get you a pro. edu. credential (and Sch. Cou. is a essentially a student management position).

MA doesnt require a SS# they issue credentials to foreigners and will issue you an MEPID on request to use for their system.
You still may have the three vs. four year bachelors/first degree issue.
The MA Provisional credential is valid for 5 years of employment but thats specifically employment in MA, which doesnt apply to you. The credential would be an effective lifetime credential requiring no PD or renewal.

First, is getting a foreign credential evaluation done (SpanTran/TEC). If it comes back your bachelors/first degree is equivalent to a four year degree than you can look at the next step:

Second, I dont see how you can get the FL Sch.Cou. credential, paper in hand.

Third, figuring out what you know and what exams you can pass. Thats going to dictate what pathway you move forward with.

Fourth, if you cant pass anything then you might have to look at other options in the pro.edu. area such as AO or iQTS, or non-pro.edu. options like ACSI (though while this might improve your hiring and recruiting options it may not).

@Intl.Teach

My opinion is worth just as much as yours is.
The doctors didnt disprove anything, they have an opinion. Miss Pedo may be a better at malingering than they are at assessing.

My position is incredibly concise. Miss Pedo is a wanted fugitive for various crimes against a child, whose guardian has filed and continues to pursue.
Detention isnt a summer camp for snowflakes. Not everything is supposed to make you happy. These are serious charges.

Why would the victims drop their charges? So that Miss Pedo can evade those as well? Theres a victim, evidence, a prosecution and a court. The only thing missing is the defendant, who is a wanted fugitive.

I completely disagree with your claim that she wouldnt be able to teach after being exonerated.

@Heliotrope

I feel the same way. I write for the readership not for @Heliotrope. My concern is identifying the errors and holes in your claims and statements.

Yes we disagree.

@ Intl.Teach

No it does make a difference. The difference is if Miss. Pedo returns and is exonerated she serves zero prison time, can return to teaching and any other profession, as opposed to a GUARANTEE that if she remains a fugitive she wont be able to leave England without risk of being arrested and she will never be able to teach or practice any other profession.

Shes a wanted fugitive, not just an accused person.

Yes, I was referring to the European Court of Human Rights which is in Strasbourg, FR. Which is a European Court.

So what? Severe depression doesnt necessitate that someone is unable to contribute to their defense nor does it make them incompetent. By your own citation her depression is a result of her alleged criminal activity. She brought it on herself, its not a pass on accountability for her actions.

Thats just something you believe, it could just as much be guilt rather than injustice. You dont know.
Its my opinion that Miss Pedos depression is malingering, its performative. The equivalent of crocodile tears.

@Akabana

What changes to what are you talking about? The MA Provisional (Entry Grade) credential in History/Social Science (which includes psychology) for example requires the communication literacy (and English language test), the History/Social Science exam, and a bachelors/first degree.

I dont know what Provisional credential in AZ you are referring to, maybe you are referring to the Subject Matter Expert Certificate. Its a dice roll if that would work for you and if it does you will some difficult deficiencies to complete compared to having to do nothing for the MA credential.

I dont see how any of the FL pathways would work for you. The only viable IE credential would be the Professional one and it requires an EPP/ITT program, the temporary credential only works if you teach in FL, a LEA in FL has to sponsor the credential.

Generally yes any of them would have varying degrees of efficacy, depending on the IS and the various regional or national ministry of labor, immigration, and/or edu if its acceptable.

It seems like youre less interested in getting just a credential and more focused on a easy pathway to a Sch.Coun. credential, I dont blame you, there just arent any easy ones in the US system that are actual pro. edu. credentials. If you find one though and it works let us know.

@tm2154

That there might be some charitable organization that makes this possible, sure, but otherwise No. There isnt a voluntary (non mandated) travel or expat insurance organization thats in business for business and wants to remain solvent, not in the realm of possibility.

@Intl.Teach

If opposition leaders dont want to be jailed than they shouldnt be in opposition. If Journalists dont want to be arrested and disappeared either than they shouldnt write stories in opposition to the ones in power.
Otherwise it sounds like we agree.

No, depression is an illness. Im not on of those people who believes that all depression is equal. Depression (clinical depression) like many mental and pseudo-physical conditions has degrees of severity that can be tracked along a continuum. Miss Pedos depression one, does not rise to the level of severity that makes her unable to contribute to her defense, nor does it make her incompetent to stand trial; and two if she has done all the things shes being accused of then its depression as a result of her own actions.
I use paracetamol regularly.

You dont know that youre just guessing. While I believe they would reasonably look at it the degree of weight an EU Court would give to it is widely speculative. You dont even have a magistrate/judge that you can characterize. You have a position and are making statements in support of your position, thats called bias.

So what. The opinions of other contributors are just that. I dont need their permission to examine other sources and make my own conclusions. I can attach a far greater degree of credibility to the victims parent than I can posters on an internet forum.
Yes, it could, thats called a conspiracy. This could be another Epstein, its entirely possible the "wolf in sheeps clothing".
Yes, This could be a unique event.

@Heliotrope

Those practicing lawyers, judges, academics, and NGO professionals are not experts because they have a job. There are incompetent and uninformed members of all those professions, and having a law degree or Ph.D doesnt give you a defacto 'experts' card.
Self proclaimed experts, selecting and screening other self proclaimed experts is nothing more than opinion on top of opinion, a "hat on a hat".

The Economist Group is just a media rag. They publish "The Economist" newspaper and magazine. It doesnt make them an authority on anything.

No Türkiye being a European country is a strong argument, your your claim that its a weak argument is a poor retort.

No Im not making your point for you. There are many sources available with various degrees of subjective credibility, most of them anecdotal, but those arent without value if the reader chooses to give them value. That doesnt make them authoritative.

~Meh~, another thought that @Heliotrope thinks.

Predictive research, which is what you describe, is not causal no matter how strong it is. My research indicates that the trial would be very fair, more so than most. Its likely level of increased scrutiny would increase the probability of a fairer than usual trial.

You can think Denmark would have a better likelihood of a fairer trial, but thats just an unsubstantiated guess of @Heliotrope.

The case is to strange to be nothing but fiction. I cant get past the motivation for a ruse involving so many distinct parties. Theres malfeasance there, to what particulars and degrees are details.

Of course Id return, Id rather be wrongfully convicted and imprisoned than a lifetime of being a wanted fugitive confined to one region and perpetually unemployed.

We disagree, keep trolling.

@Heliotrope

Neither of your scenarios are about different things, they are about related "things". Youre rationalizing that they are.

@Heliotrope

Youre trying to accredit third part indices on the basis of no other premise than that you deem them reputable, manufactured by self-proclaimed experts, on the basis of their arbitrarily constructed metrics and subject to data collection of bias prone observations. You further offer no counter offer that the lowest ranked member of these rankings are objectively poor, rather than just the lowest ranked amongst those provided.

I dont think, I know that Türkiye is a European country. This is referred to as a fact rather than your mounting collection of opinions.

Maybe Miss Pedo should have considered being falsely accused given the preponderance of sources available.

Is your claim of more than 50% of IT in IE employed and resident in regions where the judicial system is lacking to some degree based on anything more than the musings and conjecture of @Heliotrope, because if it isnt than my retort is a hand waving and dismissive ~meh~.

I have a Magic 8 Ball I can shake to, but no one "knows" if a judicial process like a trial is going to be fair. Numerous sus. perps. believe the systems is unfair. Im sure Miss Pedo believes if she were exonerated the system is fair and if convicted the system must be unfair, and the inverse is likely the position the victim(s) would claim.

Self proclaimed experts whose opinion is no more of value than any other. By your own admission youd prefer the title of wanted fugitive to that of exonerated educator.

@Intl.Teach

World rankings are subjective opinions and your real world events are subject to bias observations, that yield at best supposition.
Those are interpretations on what you observe, they are subject to cognitive filtering by your schema and paradigm.

That doesnt make it less valid. Low rates of occurrence do not dissolve the events from existence no more than a high level of correlation equates to causation. That your conclusion favors the quantity of events over the quality of events is not authoritative beside yourself.

Yes, I know Türkiye is part of Europe this is called a fact.
Youre belief the findings and determination in the extradition case are of value to the EU courts is nothing but your internalization of folly and whimsy. You have no basis for your claim that they would be of value outside of England.
Your belief that these actions constitute a human rights violation(s) and would invalidate the findings and conclusions of the Turkish Court are equally fanciful. Theres no offer of support to your claim and they are neither self evident or self authenticating.

Your claim of illness is not debilitating injury but depression, which to the degree presented does not equate to mental incompetence. Miss Pedos sadness does not preclude her from contributing to her defense.
Miss Pedo is being accused of a horrible crime against a child/children which she may well have committed, that this behavior if successfully prosecuted to conviction would result in punishment she finds depressing (as most individuals) would does not absolve her of responsibility, accountability, and liability for the behavior, nor does it absolve her of what would likely be brutal punishment for the offense.
Im sure the child victims suffering would be at least in part, relieved by seeing justice for their assailant.

Other European regions, besides Türkiye have ignored EU courts as well.

@tm2154

Asthma sure. This type of cancer, no. Youre not going to find a voluntary travel or expat insurance that will cover this kind of preexisting condition.

We disagree.
