Hi everyone,
I'm new to the international recruiting scene, but my husband and I are registered with Search. However, from what I've been reading on here it seems that most people are not getting jobs at a fair, but rather just through Skype interviews, etc. So far we've seen a ton of postings for schools in Asia, but not many for the rest of the world. Is this still early? When is the real window of opportunity for getting teaching jobs? Mid-November to mid-December? Over by the Cambridge fair (the one we registered for)?
I would love some advice about the timeline. We're excited to see which schools will have openings for us both.
Thanks!

Re: Expectations Questions
Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed we can find a school with EC, but knowing most major cities have day care/pre-school is reassuring. Professionally, this seems like a really good time to make a move - glad to know it will be feasible with our young family, too. Thanks. Happy recruitment season!

Expectations Questions
Thanks to everyone who posts on this board! It's been great to have some guidance as my husband and I start on this international adventure. I have a couple questions about what my expectations should be.
Brief background: My husband and I just started our 12th year teaching outside DC. He has a BA, teaches math (AP Statistics, geometry), and coaches. I have an MA, teach social studies (AP Psychology and AP Human Geography), sponsor clubs/have coached, and am very involved with PD in my county/school. We also have two young kids who will be 5 and 3 next summer. We are registered with Search, attending the Cambridge fair.
Questions: Initially I'm curious about how competitive we might be, but I am mostly wondering about teaching abroad with two young kids. My oldest would be entering kindergarten and from Search and this board I understand that it is common for tuition to be included. What about for my younger, though? Some schools start at age 3 and some at 4. If a school does not enroll 3 year olds, how common is it to find a preschool type program or day care abroad? I was a student at an international school and I know how much I loved it (thanks MIS). I want that for my kids, too. Just not sure about the logistics. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks
