The International Schools Review Forum

Hi guys,

I'm very excited to say that I'm heading to China this year for my first international teaching post! I'm in the process of planning for the big move, but as its my first posting I'm rather lacking in experience.

Are there any blogs or books by international teachers that would give me an idea of the day to day experiences of international teachers? China-focused would be great, but I'm also interested in reading blogs from teachers all around the world.

When I want to find blogs of teachers in the country I am researching/going to, I do a google search.

google: Site:blogspot.com teacher in Beijing

or wherever you are going? or maybe teaching in Beijing or expat in Beijing etc

this will bring you blogs of people who use blogger. Another website is called expat-blog.com There are blogs on there and forums for different countries. Those can be blogs of any expat though, not just teachers.

I have a blog, but I am really bad about posting there....mine was from Cairo and now Kuwait.
