SH is more modern and BJ is a bit disgusting. More of the "me" mentality in BJ. The world revolves around me. Dont expect me to move out of your way when I am walking. When the doors of the elevator open, who goes in first before anyone exits: ME! Dont forget about the cigarettes.

Some BJ reading. http://www.thebeijinger.com/forum/Gener ... Discussion

Ok, I understand where I wasnt being clear. My Master's is in Education... MEd (not MA) with a concentration in SecEd. My BA is Natural Sci (physical conc) and a minor in Chem.

Sorry about the confusion folks.

I opted out of the cert because it would of meant returning home to do some of the classes and do a year probationary student teaching(didnt want to be with out my wife). My Master's was online inclusive if you opted out of the cert.

Pike thanks for the info. Mind if I ask which country?

Thanks teach,

Ive paid up at TIE for job listings, but maybe search is worth a shot...do you mind if I ask what field you taught? I am looking at going the chem route as that is my educational forte.

So you are saying even with experience and Master's in Education (NOT chem,Psy-guy) any chance of getting into the "good" schools?

I only did ESL for 1 yr...did math/science at "real" international school for 3 yrs...2 at one and 1 at another....but were both nothing more than high 3rd or low 2nd tier schools.

What about good 2nd tier schools, that atleast pay decent.

Master's of Ed but no cert...

Hello,

I have been teaching at 3rd tier schools for 3yrs (MS math/science)and have done a yr kindergarten ESL teaching. I have a MEd SecEd and a science BA. I did not gain my teacher's cert because that would of meant going back to the states for a year to do student teaching. What are the possibilities to getting into a good paying 2nd tier position? ANY possibilities of getting into a 1st teir school?

Thanks

Any possibilities of getting certified without return home for a year? Is there some place to apply for one with my credentials? Another state? Another country?
