Thanks you guys for the help guys!

My wish is to teach abroad whether it be in an ISS school (preferable) or as an ESL teacher of some type. Does anyone have any advice on avenues I should explore to obtain this for the upcoming school year in August.

Thanks in advance guys!

Oh I am aware there are fewer SPED position in a school. In my current school in America we have 6 SPED teachers with 45 regular teachers.

How is trying to find a SPED position however? Is it more challenging or easier?

Thanks for the response. So ISS schools value work experience in the field over ESL abroad?

Also how frequent are the SPED jobs available? Are they more frequent than regular teaching or about the same?

Special Education Degree

Hello! I was needing some help/advise. I am a recent graduate with a BS in SPED able to teach k-12 (I also have my teaching certificate). I have been interested in teaching abroad for several years but did not know the proper steps to take. I know I am virtually to late in the game for the upcoming school year in August. My question is I only have 1 year of teaching experience (come May) and would it be better to attempt to teach in an International School next year or try and teach English as an ESL teacher or something similar.

Some more background I am an inclusion teacher in the high school setting. I was awarded Head of the Special Service Department at my school with zero experience. How challenging is it to obtain a job abroad as a Special Education major?

Thanks for the assistance!
