I currently am teaching at a Middle School in the US as an EC teacher(special education)... this is [b]my second year[/b] and am certified to teach Special Ed from k-12th grade and just added a certificate to teach middle school Language Arts, plan on getting my social studies certificate for Middle School as well in March. How viable am I as a candidate to be an International teacher? i would love to teach in Southeast Asia or possible China to start or the Middle East.. Any responses suggestions and advice are welcomed.

As the debates go on... I would like to know about what I can do in the next couple of years to make myself an attractive candidate to be a special educator for DODEA.. as stated earlier..I will in a matter of weeks have a special education license for General curriculum K-12 from the state of North Carolina... it will not include a BA degree in education.. but I do have the BA in history which I'm not seeking to teach... I would love to teach overseas as soon as possible but that seems impossible at the moment without any teaching experience with the license as of yet... so what can I do to be considered a viable candidate...is it senseless to even apply to DODEA at the moment? any other option availabe to a new license holder for special education overseas? thanks for any replies... or future debates...

I just finished a post bac licensure only program in special education for General Curriculum K-12 in the state of North Carolina...have several years of experience as a teaching assistant in special education.... I'm waiting on my Praxis Scores... I already have a BA degree in History..is this enough to get me qualified for a special ed position in DODEA? Im 44 years old and would love to work overseas..... with no experience as a licensed professional as of yet.. do I realistically have any chance of getting hired for a job?

If I cant find a job teaching special education I would like to teach English as as second language... but my first choice, past experience andpresent training point me to being a special educator... Im curious, If I cant find a job as a spec ed. teacher will my marketability as English teacher be in decent standing still with a teaching certificate for special education or am I just starting at ground zero like all of the other bachelor degree holders?... any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated....

After the end of school in May of 2012, I will be a certified teacher with a teaching license for the state of North Carolina. Not a teaching assistant license. When I was an assistant teacher, I was not the lead teacher..

My situation is this....Im in the final year of my Post Baccalaureate Program that will give me a Special Education License for grades K-12 in North Carolina of the United States...I already havea BA degree in History from a 4 year college...Im 44 years old.. Have worked for over 8 years as an assistant in public schools special education classrooms. I want to find a job teaching overseas after receiving my license in Special Education... what are the chances of finding a job with these minimal credentials?... with these credentials what are the more likely countries that are willing to give me a chance to work ? Im looking to teach special education or even English as a second language.... what is the best way to start looking for a job for next June of 2012? Any suggestions would be appreciated....
