It's the time of year when I am starting to think about looking for a new place. This year my situation has changed dramatically - I now have a young baby and my husband decided to take some time off from teaching to spend time with our child. So, essentially, I will be applying as a teacher with two dependents. After spending most of our teaching career in developing countries we would prefer to go somewhere more developed and safe as these years will be the first ones our child will remember. So, I am looking for suggestions of countries/schools that would be suitable for us. I am looking for a school that would hire me with my dependents and at the same time a place that would be good for raising a child. Ideally, it would be great if we could continue to save for retirement as well.

My teaching field is Science (IB Bio and MYP Science) as well as Special Education. I have also taught MYP Math and DP Maths Studies before. I've been teaching for 10 years with 5 of those within the IB system.

Please, could you suggest a few schools that would be worth exploring in this job search?

I am also a Canadian. Ontario-certified Science/History/Spec. Ed teacher with. I'd love to work in Egypt. What are the schools you're talking about? I only know of one.

Wow, thanks for honest advice guys!

@PsyGuy: Forgive me for not knowing, but what is a DOS/AM position?

Also, any advice on how to best present myself as an intern?

Thanks again!

Hi, I am new to the forum. I've seen people ask many questions about their chances of getting a job. I want to see what you think about mine.

I have B.Sc. and a B.Ed (with certification) in Middle/Secondary Science/History/Spec. Ed.
About 1 year teaching Science and Math in a private school in Ontario and 6 months teaching Science at the museum.
My most recent experience is teaching ESL in Korea.
I have a husband who has a B.A. in English Lit. and is a CELTA certified ESL teacher with 3 years of experience teaching ESL and over 10 years of administrative experience in a university setting.

We are going to the Bangkok and Hong Kong Search fairs this January. Is there any change we'd get any offers at all? Or at least me? We are only closed to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Would prefer not to go to mainland China, too.

Thanks!!!
