Re: female teacher with trailing spouse and 2 kids - possibl

Thank you both! I have applied to three schools so far and two of them have asked for initial skype interviews so I'm hoping that's a good sign that they're at least considering the idea!

Are there any other countries that anyone would consider family friendly? I'm not too sure about ME or South America but equally have heard lots of positives. I am worried about visa requirements for dependents as husband wants to be able to at least seek work rather than be completely restricted to house husband!

female teacher with trailing spouse and 2 kids - possible?

I'm new to the ISR and would really welcome any feedback. I have 14 years English teaching experience in high achieving, independent UK schools and would really like to break into teaching abroad now. However, I have read various posts on here suggesting that it will be very difficult as I will have a non-teaching spouse and 2 small children. Husband will look for work when we get somewhere but obviously will be 'trailing' to start with!
I have pastoral experience, Oxbridge and A level experience so feel pretty qualified but just worried about that being overlooked when it comes to the dependents.

Any advice about countries to consider (currently looking at Malaysia / Hong Kong) or any other advice gratefully received!
