Thanks for all of the feedback! DCgirl, do your kids like being overseas?

Any new insights on this school, particularly for someone who is not a practicing anything :)? On Search, savings potential looks phenomenal, but looking at COL and salary makes me think it's inflated.

Thanks for the responses. Would a postcard be a bad idea for the "about me" abbreviated resume? Do recruiters prefer 8 1/2" x 11" paper? Also, how important are photos in the classroom? I don't have very good ones (bad lighting, blurry, etc.) and are there privacy/legal issues with having photos of students? Thanks in advance for any answers!

Heading to Search Cambridge soon but wondering at my prospects.

I've been an educator for 24+ years, but only 4 that are traditional classroom K-12 experiences. I've taught high school Biology, Chem, and Physics (not as much physics), am certified in Middle School Science, and Secondary Science and am "highly qualified" in math (meaning I passed the PLACE exam). I was a NOLS instructor (see www.nols.edu) for 12 years and had an educational consulting business (developed curriculum, was hired by families who pulled their middle schoolers out of school to privately teach their kids math, science, Spanish). I have a BS in Natural Sciences and MS in Biomedical Sciences (just completed the latter which meant leaving my teaching job to go to school). My varied experience has made me a much better and more creative classroom teacher - I have many more tools and think outside the box more than if I had only taught in the classroom. However, I'm not sure how to convey this in the 30 second sign-up session. I did email a bunch of schools, filled out online applications with cover letters, but for the wham-bam I'm not sure how to get this across. Also, I know that hiring a single mom is not a school's first choice. Any thoughts out there?
