Thanks for your input, sid. I understand that we may have to put a few years in teaching here in Oregon before we are viable candidates for a good intl school. Can anyone explain the schools tiers and give me some insight into how bad a "bad" school is and how good a "good" school can be?
Thanks!

Hello ISR community,
I have been a passive member for a couple of years now - reading posts, reviews, etc. I am now in my MAT program and trying to decide on my second endorsement as I aspire to teach internationally. Like all new posters, I have the regular questions concerning my candidacy.
My wife just finished her MAT program with a 4.0. She did not take a teaching job this year, but opted for an assistant directorship of the MAT program she graduated from. She holds a bachelors in psychology and is endorsed in elementary.
I hold a bachelors in history and Latin American studies from the University of Oregon. I am going to be endorsed in Social Science. I need to decide on my second endorsement. I am torn between Spanish - an endorsement that will get me a job quickly here in Oregon, or English/Language Arts. I am also open to other suggestions that are complimentary to a social science endorsement and desirable in an international school. My school does not offer an IB endorsement, but I will pursue this as soon as I am finished with the program.
We have a 4 years old daughter entering kindergarten in fall 2015.
I am not finished with my program until June 2016, but I want to start to get a pulse on what our options are. i.e. job fairs to consider, regions and tiers to focus on, etc. Also, what we need to be realistic about and please give suggestions as to how we can increase our stock. Thanks for all your help!
