Re: Years of IB Experience for Top Tier Schools
Fortuna is right. This forum is dominated by a handful of people and discussions are like egotistical tug-o-wars and 'shouting matches' rather than meaningful exchange of ideas (similar to teachers' meetings at international schools). Best option: read the first 4 or 5 responses and ignore the post ...

Re: Employer doesn't show up to scheduled online interview, what do you think happened?
There is another breed of admin who will treat you so well during the interview and share great stories about their school's accomplishments and collaborative spirit. Fast forward six months or a year and report a genuine problem, instead of addressing the issue, they will start excusing themselves ...

Re: Search Job Fair Demise
Irony dies a million deaths in IT recruitment irrespective of the format: - A 60-year old administrator drawing a high 6-figure salary refusing to hire a 50-year old veteran teacher as s/he is 'expensive.' - A shiny 21st century school brochure tells you nothing about the quality of teaching or rigo...

Re: Years of IB Experience for Top Tier Schools
Having taught at a few top-tier schools for a while, here are my two pennies: I think the fundamental premise is to have deeper pedagogical content knowledge which means you can guide all students successfully both in terms of every day learning as well as steering them through complex assessments, ...

Re: Harvard's CSML
Thank you all.
@JDK
If you have to do it all over again, would you enrol in the same course or a different one? I have heard Australia offers some pretty rigorous options.

Affordable Housing Prices
Happy New Year all. For those planning to purchase property, which cities offer affordable prices (200-250K USD) for a 1- or 2-bedroom condominium or apartment not far from downtown? I'm sure Singapore and Hong Kong are out of question. Thank you.

Re: Harvard's CSML
Good points, gentlemen. The problem is there are many folks who are leading and taking the initiative and despite having the experience and credentials, it could be a stroke of luck or the right connection that can get you the first break.

Thanks sid. That's what I thought. Not any different from PTC. Admin credential is the way to go, I guess.

Harvard's CSML
Is the 'Certificate in School Management and Leadership' from Harvard of any use in securing a middle/high school principal position at a top-tier school if one already has a master's in ed and some middle management experience? Does anyone on this forum has a first-hand account of success with the ...

Is this the same Andrew Hallam who recommends giving up junk food and invest those expenses in index funds and murky firms based in Dubai? Good on him.

Re: Hong Kong or Singapore?
A good pension plan for a teacher couple is hard to beat, especially if you get subsidised healthcare after retirement. If the 200K is inclusive of housing, it is an average teacher-couple salary. Post-taxes and rent, and some travel included, one'd bank at least 40 - 50K USD a year.
