TEACHERS, I am in a similar situation: 10 years of teaching secondary English, BA/MA/Credential, one year Fulbright teaching abroad, sent out about 40 resumes last year to schools in Europe. I contacted schools directly and didn't hire ISS or Search. I had no job offers.

I have no IB experience and a wife and two kids ages 3 and 7.

I am undecided how much more effort I should put into finding a job at an American International school in Europe. Does the lack of IB experience and the two kids wreck my chances? Any insights on exactly what European schools want and don't want?
