Re: Honest thoughts?

Not really sure what you're aiming for. You want to work as an ICT teacher in primary or secondary? You want all ICT or you want a co-ordinator role? The latter is more likely but you don't mention your ICT experience or expertise. Very hard to comment.

EdD via distance learning

I am trying to find out what my choices are for competing an Educational Doctorate (EdD not PhD) program via distance learning. So far, I have found University of LIverpool and the Open University, but there must be others. Alas, despite much Googling, I cannot find them.

Being abroad, I cannot enrol on a location-based program.

I have looked at US programs but the fees make it prohibitive, as I am a UK citizen. If anyone has experience in the aforementioned programs or can offer even the slightest pointer (including affordable institutions globally), please get in touch.

Re: Alternative schools like Green School, Bali

Wherever we end up, salary won't be a priority - enough to live will be fine but thanks for the heads up.

The Cloud School looks interesting. I don't suppose you still have the contact of the family in Oregon, and whether they'd be willing for me to contact them? The site pages give refreshingly frank information about the ups and downs of working/living there, so definitely one I'll be looking into more.

Muchas gracias!

Re: Alternative schools like Green School, Bali

Thanks for those additional pointers. That school in Mexico is quite inspiring. I am beginning to wish I were a Primary teacher so I could just go ahead and open my own. Hmm.....

Re: Alternative schools like Green School, Bali

Thanks teacherguy. A 'short term' contract with kids IS 2 years!

Interesting comments on the air quality but I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Much appreciated.

Re: Alternative schools like Green School, Bali

Thanks so much for these suggestions which I'm about to follow up. I'm in SE Asia anyway so going to head over to the Green School for a few days in April to check it out. Even if it's just for a short-term contract, I'm still interested but don't want to pin hopes (or health) on one possibility.

Really appreciate the info and any more that you kind folk offer.

Alternative schools like Green School, Bali

Can anyone give me website links (specifically) to schools with alternative curriculums, preferably ones that focus on sustainability and have an 'eco' slant? Anywhere in the world that takes international teachers is a possibility.

The Green School really appeals but I imagine competition for jobs is fierce and there are some not-so-great posts about Bali's air quality which is a concern with 2 young kids.

greenschool.org

Thanks!
