It depends what they can do and what their visa allows them to do. Typically language ability in the host language is the major barrier.

I cant imagine a scenario where that would be an advantage given all the things that go wrong and the loss of control in factors effecting damage taking it as baggage. That said Ive done it before, but I used a common courier (like Fed-Ex) to ship it to myself in advance of departure. Aside from tha...

Some of the advantages are: - It gives me time to get into teaching mode on the ride, I can formulate les...

Probably I who wrote it, and did so because its ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Switzerland has some of the highest salaries in IE, you can make 6 figures in Switzerland walking in.

CT is an option, as they have a purely experiential pathway. They count your valid experience in substitution for the EPP/ITT program. They do have some credit requirements. Which among others includes US History and social science. You can meet these requirements in addition to taking coursework by...

@geoguy At this time I doubt the TCL/TRA will issue you QTS based on the MO initial (entry grade) credential utilizing the doctoral route, unless youre prepared to engage in a little subterfuge in your application, but they might. Once you have QTS you wouldnt have tho renew the MO credential, but t...

There isnt a person behind the resume, theres just the resume. Even if hired theres just a warm body in a classroom that reduces the leaders problems on any given day by one. Great ISs do bad things, and bad ISs can do some things well. No one in IE will care more about you the IT, your family, or y...

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I do not have to prove or provide you with support for my claims.
We disagree.
