Program Advice
My current IS is growing and I have been slated for the half psychology teacher, half college counselor position. I've been teaching psych for many years, but am interested in moving into college counseling and am excited to be able to combine both positions. My admin is offering PD in case I ever w...

Re: Relocation Companies and Teaching License
We've already accepted positions so no more negotiations, but this is our first international move. Beyond getting rid of tons of our stuff, selling our house, and finishing up at our current jobs, I am worried that I might be forgetting something. Things I have been thinking about: Banking/Credit C...

Re: Relocation Companies and Teaching License
Thanks! There's a lot of great information about getting hired on this site, but I'm wondering if there's a list of things to be done between accepting a position and starting the new job - especially geared for first time ITs? I'm going to be keeping track of what I need to take care of for the sch...

Re: Relocation Companies and Teaching License
Thanks for all the advice! After talking it over with Mr. L we have decided to go the baggage overload route. Thankfully we are living close to the airport we fly into. It looks like there are enough furnished housing options that we won't need too much stuff and minimalism seems the way to go. I ha...

Re: Blacklisting
Thanks for the advice everyone. Just to clarify - we withdrew before we were even offered the positions, but the interviews were in late May for two unexpected openings. At the time my kids were not school-age or we would have sent them to the local school system, but instead, we would have needed t...

Blacklisting
Curious about the concept of blacklisting....what "offenses" can get someone on the list? What about withdrawing from consideration late in the interview process for a late spring hire because the school didn't have places for your 2 children? Is it worth applying again, several years later?

Election Results
Just curious - do you think there will be much of an impact on the IE field with the election of Donald Trump?

AP vs. IB
My husband and I have been AP teachers for many years, but are interested in the IB DP program as that seems much more common overseas. For those of you that have taught both, can you speak to the difference in day to day teaching and workload for each program. We understand the philosophical differ...

Resignation timeline
Newbie question here - it seems like ITs have it kind of tough if they want to leave their current school. They have to notify early and then HOPE that something works out or end up unemployed. What happens if a teacher says they will be returning, then ends up finding another position and resigning...
