Re: Teacher rights-teaching online in hospital with covid?

Saint Dominics International School in Lisbon did not pay me for the online work I did and forced staff to go to work and crowded meetings when there was a lockdown. AVOID THIS SCAM OF A SCHOOL!

Art Vacancies

Hi All

I notice there are A LOT of art jobs for ES, MS and HS levels. This is great news for me, but am wondering if there are many art teachers looking for jobs now too?

Why are there so many art jobs this year?

Thanks!

Vientiane International School, Laos

Hi All,

I am interested in this school and have read the reviews online, however I am interested in hearing from anyone who is familiar with the school. How is the atmosphere? Work/life balance? Resources? Community involvement?

It is part of the The Mekong River International Schools Association (MRISA) and linked to UN which is very appealing to me.

Any thoughts would be great!

Why dont you just go for a teaching job in a known international school? Then after a few more years you can move up internally?

Its good you have 5 yrs IB experience.

Good luck.

Reference Letter Question

Hi,
I have recently told my school I wil be leaving next year. I asked my Head of School and Head of Secondary to complete online evaluations for agencies I am using.

I asked them both for an open reference letter too, but was refused one by my Head of School. He said he doesn't know me well enough, I am in the 2nd year of my contract.

I want open reference letters so I can show them in all my applications. Is it normal practice to refuse writing one or is it the responsibility of the Head of School to provide this for all teachers?

Any advice would be great.

I already have invites for both fairs in January. I am in contact with several schools now, but nobody knows about vacancies yet.

When do you think they will start to know and actively work on recruitment for next year?

ISS and Search Fairs

Hi
I am part of an experienced IB/PYP teaching couple, and have chosen to leave next year.

I have signed up for both Search and ISS, however would you recommend we go to both fairs in Bangkok in January?

When will schools start to advertise vacancies?

Thanks,
