Hey y'all!
I am a young, female, newly certified teacher. I want to get onto the international school scene as soon as possible.
I have a BA in International Affairs from a prestigious university in the states, as well as additional educational experience at an equally prestigious university in the UK. I am certified to teach High School Social Studies Composite and Gifted and Talented. I have experience teaching english in France, as well as experience as a fitness and development instructor for children.
I was an expat brat, I grew up in international schools in asia, africa, and europe.
I have yet to get the mandatory two years teaching experience under my belt that seems to be the cut off for international teaching. But I am hoping my educational background, as well as the fact that I am a vetted and comfortable international person will work to my advantage.
I am registered with Search, and looking for my first school to be a place where the administration and teachers are supportive and there is a good community ( ohh and the school has to take me first). Money and location arent really important to me at this point, it is more about the experience. I hear horror stories about schools that eat teachers up and spit them out.
Any advice about pursuing jobs, or schools that suite the environment I am looking for would be much appreciated
