Thats my inclination

Yes once again more TPF non-sense.

Yes, you do, what your describing is your classic @Thames Pirate TPF thinking that a tourist visa/landing permit is some how a work visa. Its not, and German ISs and DSs have labor regulations that make your "you just need a contract" non-sense.

They arent unrelated, you need both of them to live and work as a pro.edu. in Germany.

Different regions vary considerably. Bavaria might be some degree of impossible for you and less so for others. All of Germany in general is rather rigid in accepting subject adjacent degrees.

Utter bunk, again, more TPF. There isnt a meaningful difference. Either a DS/IS needs to follow regulations, it doesnt, or it chooses to.

Having an IS walk the application through the process is simpler and far more likely to be successful, regardless of being in Bavaria or another region. Everyone has limits. Water is also wet.

Again, Germany in general is rather rigid in what subject matter degrees they will accept and have very little flexability in subject adjacent degrees.

Yes, there is youd have to sell the IS/DS on the immersion angle to get them to offer you an appointment and move forward with the mutual recognition process.

You need one if the employer wants one.

@Alchemeister

I get why you would want to undertake the process in advance if you dont have an EU passport, and need an appointment to sponsor a visa. While its possible to do so OS, its going to be a long term exercise in frustration and futility. An absent applicant who isnt there to push and doesnt have a right to work just isnt a priority, an will just get rejected as a matter of clearing the application. Youre also not likely to receive a different outcome, as written previously Germany as a whole tends to be rather rigid in regards to subject adjacent degrees.

There isnt a state MOE thats particularly easier than another, not one thats going to have a more flexible acceptance of a subject adjacent degree. Germany is a lot like CAN in this regard while the provinces (German states) are separate they all have a model that doesnt have much room for interpretation, you need one of X degrees to qualify and there just isnt room for meaningful interpretation. Even if you were to slip through a crack, mutual recognition isnt at the national but the regional level so your credential from Region A doesnt automatically get you recognition in any other region.

Just like the rest of IE, Germany has 1st, 2nd, 3rd tier ISs, the best route forward is finding a bottom third tier DS/IS that will sponsor a visa for you and have them walk your application through the process, which as I wrote earlier will handle the entire process but its mostly getting supporting documents accepted.
You should be aware youre going to need a substantial degree of German language proficiency for this route unless your position is in ESOL and you sell them on the immersion approach, even then a lot of work is going to be in German and its not a positive selling point if everyone has to switch to English to handle the one expat.

@SIBBSIBB

I assume you are no longer at this IS?

@Thames Pirate

Standard TPF. Surrender on all claims, no knowledge, and resort to name calling. Blank paper in a binder, and repping its something.

@kfssbjj identifies a crucial point, while there are ways to cycle foreign income into SS, IE in general doesnt provide the social retirement programs youd find in even the most rudimentary aspects of DE.

@Thames Pirate

Id state the same but Id get better responses from a bot than yours have been. Bots can maintain a semblance of linear thought.

You dont own words. Youre taking what youre doing and using it as an accusation, why should I run what you write through a thesaurus. I know your vocabulary is challenged but there isnt anything special, or niche about the language your using, or being provided to you.
I respond and address these various items because you bring them up, its called replying.

Yes it is comical.

i dont owe you anything, youre not a proctor, or leader, or administrator. Youve been challenged in the entirety of this topic and youve demonstrated that you know nothing beyond a few German words.

Exactly what I was thinking, your ego just cant handle being wrong.

@Thames Pirate

Is your German translator going to beat up my German translator?
You dont know anything about horses. Youve demonstrated you dont know anything about the German credentialing system for edu. If you have questions you dont need permission, Ive demonstrated in this topic alone that you dont know what youre talking about. You convoluted and twisted non-sense.

@Thames Pirate

Yes, again, see above.

@Thames Pirate

I do so enjoy these lite conversations of ours.

Yes, ISs follow rules they dont have to. Some to avoid headaches down the line and future problems, some for marketing ("all of our faculty meet the requirements of the MOE for the credentialing of teachers"), some for other reasons.

No, not specifically relevant, ministries are ministries.

The MSA is not a full leaving certificate, its a final one but its an intermediate leaving certificate.

Your summarization ability isnt bad.

No its not always capitalized, heres an example "abitur", see not capitalized.

Nothing mythical about the Japanese equestrian school posting, just wasnt interested in you.
You otherwise describe your MO pretty well. You claim to know something than make some absurdly non-sense statement and then retreat to over-simplification or some other kindergarten level cognitive device (did you know kindergarten is a German noun and look its not capitalized).

I already used only data matters, and its not like you can do research when what you fabricate in your mind is so much easier.

No telling you how much coin you add to your accounts is another topic not this one.

I provided a very direct response to the LW. I dont need to add new information, when the old information was right to begin with. This isnt a compensatory system where some quantity of weak data somehow equates to strong data.

The only fraud and liar is @Thames Pirate, and your countless instances of TPF.

It has been, not that youd know how to care for a horse. I responded with an accurate response to the LW, and you got to troll your convoluted non-sense out. Youre pathological narcissism sufficiently nourished, along with your German dictionary, provided a hearty amount of laughter.

@Thames Pirate

Yeah again, because it was right then and is right now. Im getting the sense you understand this gas lighting concept a lot better than you let on.

It quite literally is the same process. Youre confusing the number and types of documents as being a different processes.

Yes, the BMBF, typo. The BMBF, however provides a model for the states to adopt and is subject to interpretation.

No, I tend to ignore your terminology that isnt relevant.

Which is precisely what I said. You were the one attempting to turn the funding into some sort of attempt to blur the differing categories of schools.

Yes some of them do choose to incorporate MOE practices and policies into their own and they can. Yes they do because rules are easy and avoid ambiguity in the future. Essentially allowing an IS to avoid future headaches. They arent giving up autonomy, they are choosing the easy route until the easy route doesnt work for them anymore, which allows them to bend it on a case by case basis or whenever its found to be unsuitable for them. Thats not giving anything up its exercising autonomy

I do enjoy logic. Its not moving the goal posts. You like to think it is because you dont actually have data to support your position, its easier for you to whine about something being unfair than it is for you to be wrong.

Neither the MSA or ESA is a full leaving certificate its a final leaving certificate thats of intermediate level. Theres still something above it (Arbitur) thats part of secondary edu.

Yes, bureaucracy can be a form of rigidity. Bureaucracy can also be simple.

Happy to hear you agree with my discussion of rigidity, finally.

The old material works so well, given its accuracy.

Did you really just throw down a gauntlet that your German translator can beat up my German translator. (ROTFLOL)

See rigidity above.

Well someone has to finish up the mess you make, expounding is certainly one of the tools in my edu tool box, and Im not writing in German so amt can be in lowercase a or an upside down one ∀ if I want, ∀mt. Is there a German spelling gestapo thats going to stop me.

Happy to hear you agree. Actually not happy, but I have to type less when you agree so theres that.

H∀, I have known of an action plan in multiple contexts as well as deficiency plan also in multiple contexts.
Most people just try to present an idealized lesson without errors or deviations from the blueprint but thats true of all evaluative observations regardless of their location.

The more I write, the more you rewrite what I said because what you think you know, you actually dont. Youre like the tourist who spends a few weeks in Germany seeing the sites and learns a couple words that they now think they know everything or anything. When the encapsulation of your entire knowledge base wouldnt fill a couple pages in a travel guide.

I use LW as reference to Letter Writer meaning the individual who first posted their topic to the forum and use OP (Original Poster) to refer to the first post on the current thread within the topic. Not that I need @Thames Pirate or "The Internets" consent or counsel. I suppose The Internet will be mad at me now, even though everything The Internet claims as its own originated with someone doing something for the first time.

I take my abbreviations seriously and my ego doesnt need approval from others.

Nowhere did the LW nor I, mention or elude to accreditation, this is a hiring/personnel topic. The vast majority of accreditation schemes (including Germany) have exceptions, provisos, addendums that allow an IS or DS to maintain accreditation despite personnel irregularities.

I know what they mean, we differ in positions. Your position is that they have complete autonomy when they arent entirely free of the MOE (the BMBF) and that because the BMBF doesnt so much dictate as they provide model resources that are again easy to implement, and some of these model resources do pertain to credentialing and hiring.

I cant possibly see how. At best accessing documents overseas would be 'AS' easy as being available locally. In no scenario can I see them being easier. Its a matter of proximity and its correlation to accessibility. I could expound on it more (one of my tools in my edu tool box).

Lots of people have EU passports.

No, its so much that sometimes its denied and with such an exhausting level of deficiencies they cant reasonably be overcome.

You listed a number of no-go places as ones with high coin potential (China and the ME in general which includes the UAE). Japan is more a high desire destination (romance location, not because ts romantic but because these locations are over romanticized for their coolness factor). Youre right you wouldnt have a lot of saving potential in TH, but thats mostly BKK, of which the vast majority of ISs are located. There are ISs outside of BKK where the cost of living is lower but those ISs also play less coin.

SG has low taxes but I concur with @sciteach that any saving you make up with on lower taxes will vanish with the absurdly high cost of housing, even for very modest accommodations.

Egypt would probably work out for you in terms of saving potential and cost of living. Jburg and Capetown as well, but there arent many ISs. The ones in Africa that would pay well enough with a low enough cost of living have other factors against them.

The Caribbean is like the other little gems such as Suva the VI (Virgin Islands), etc. in that thee is one IS that that would meet your requirments and that IS being a first/elite tier IS gets a lot of applications.

If youre not opposed to Asia than TW (Taiwan), SK (South Korea) and KL (Malaysia, but mostly Kuala Lumpur) are options with a good coin to costs ratio.

IB ISs will want IB training and that would be the priority in their recruiting. The ones that would train you probably wouldnt meet your requirements. IB workshops arent really worth much, no IB practitioner thinks you know it all or are anywhere close to suitably prepared for IB on the basis of having a workshop certificate. Especially in the PYP, which is almost an alien language compared to the traditional way that primary edus are trained.

You can look at the PASS below if you want a very rough idea of your marketability. The PASS works best when compared to an actual job specification.

As to other comments:

1) 20 years is nothing to raise your nose up to, but when it comes to IB it may work against you. Youve been teaching a certain way for so long that breaking that training and molding it into IB, especially the PYP may be a cause of concern. Since youre essentially a tourist IT, youre not likely to put in the effort to remake yourself into the type of IT the PYP and the IB would require. Youre first year in the PYP is practically a training year and your second year is essentially a transition year since youll be leaving at the end of it.

2) The male primary DT/IT having marketable value is a myth. Male primary ITs isnt a shortage anyone with any coin in the game wants to fix. Which is why it continues to be a shortage.

3) Many ISs even the ones that are non-profit are run like a business.

4) In general the employee to travel ration is 1:2, in that an IS will travel 2 people (this includes the employee) for each FTE employee of the IS. So 1 IT and 1 dependent. Beyond that ITS start pricing themselves out of the profession.

5) I dont put a lot of concern in @sciteach regarding cultural makeup of the student population. Youre childs 4, they will be 5 in their first year with you as an IT putting them either in Reception/Kindergarten or starting year 1 by the time youre leaving they will only be finishing year 1 or year 2. Hardly "older". International or more host national isnt going to make much difference, except that in the host nation IS your child is more likely to begin picking up a second language. Otherwise its just a numeracy and literacy program regardless of what the pupils in the class look like.

6) What it really means is that the more the IS looks like a host nations private/independent DS the more its going to be operated as a local private/independent DS which may cause problems for you.
Though ITs kids are often used used in promotional materials without express consent, its more of a cultural difference that the IS is paying the IT they own the IT and that they were paying this great amount of coin compared to LH that it would of course include using their kids for promotional materials.

7) LON isnt the biggest fair its a big fair but its aligned with the BOS/SF fair and the BKK fair, and the BKK fair still being a super fair (thats two fairs that are scheduled back to back in this case SA and ISS) is the biggest fair.

8) If you wouldnt accept a position at an IS why bother pursuing them. Youre a tourist IT youre going to do this for a couple years and than go back to your HOR, your IE career is going to be one IS. Why spend the time somewhere you dont want to be or doesnt fit your needs.

@expatscot

It sounds like it was composed by a chat bot.

There is nothing inherently wrong with online academic programs, but you should be mindful that some MOEs dont accept them and some leaders have a dim view of them.

In direct reply to your inquiry.
Middlesex isnt anything special its. Its a UK Uni, thats about all anyone is going to think or care or even know. In rankings they tend to be rather low. In the US it would be what many might call a safety Uni. They tend to have stronger recognition in the work sector, but that again is a because they arent difficult to get into.

Where I disagree with @interteach, is that there are Unis and UK Unis that do carry significant even substantial weight in IE. OxBridge, a degree from OxBridge does mater and have superior marketability in IE.

As to the program.

First,What are you getting from Real Training? When programs advertise their association with various institutions if they arent explicit about what the association is it usually means little more than the programs participants have had credits accepted at the Uni towards some program. In this case Middlesex is basically printing the scroll. Not that anyone would be drooling over a qualification from Middlesex.

Second, are you getting QTS out of this? I dont think you are. In the UK SPED/SEN/LD is somewhat different than it is in the US. In the US you find DTs with pro.edu credentials in SPED/SEN/LD, you dont find that in the UK in so much as what you find are professionals in various fields of psychology who then either undertook an ITT/EPP program that leads to QTS, or they are just MH providers placed in DSs. Essentially they do a first degree in something like Psychology in Education or just Psychology and then they pursue a PGCE to get the QTS. The key difference that matters here is its the ITT/EPP program (PGCE is one route) that gets QTS and you dont need a first or advanced degree in a psychological field to get into a SPED/SEN/LD EPP/ITT program. Without QTS and this might sound harsh, but in the world of IE youre just a student support or paraprofessional with a certificate thats little more than a piece of paper. You could just take some Coursera courses for that matter.

Third, the association with the BPS (British Psychological Society) is more an organization focusing on the various clinical applications of psychology rather than on edu. Whats more valuable and relevant would be the Society for Education and Training as you can at least get QTLS through their organization. Otherwise the BPS doesnt have a specific membership category for SPED/SEN/LD edus.

If youre already an IT in SPED/SEN/LD and you just need a Masters whether its a bump in coin or your leveraging it into a leadership position or just looking for increased marketability than if its not a Global Ivy, a Masters is a Masters.

@Thames Pirate

I dont know you use it a lot how has it been working?

Yes, its the same process. ISs have been asked for re submission of documents in the past. ISs cant just usually through garbage at the MOE and expect successful results.

More than one as I stated, the BAMF provides a model and its up to individual states to interpret it.

Happy to hear you agree.

The funding isnt relevant to the scenario as included in the LWs OP.

No its not wrong. Fully independent ISs those who are exempt from various regulations can still choose to incorporate the regulations into their policies and practices.

No they arent, not in the sense that they are used in IE (or DE for that matter) no more than a GSCE or IGCSE is SLL, they are both intermediate SLL, the inclusion of intermediate makes a difference. So yes it is true.

Ah.. Those arent SLL qualifications those are intermediate SLL qualifications, intermediate makes a difference. So yes Abitur is more widely accepted than the I.B. and of the intermediate qualifications and yes the intermediate SLL qualifications would still be more widely accepted than the IBs MYP intermediate SLL certificate.

Yes I did, in my first post. "Germany has a rather rigid position on subject adjacent degrees, and foreign credentials arent as valuable, simply that credentialing requirements in the US (in general) arent as high as they are in Germany." Bureaucracy is as much a factor in that rigidity.

Again, your lack of vocabulary is showing, the word your looking for is obvious.

Your lack of subject matter expertise is what I find bothersome. More so that your response was so drastically inaccurate and impractical.

No its not double speak. Rigidity as a result of bureaucracy are the same. I am more than well aware of the definition of Amt. Many regions have an amt for a vast number of government offices.

Yes it is, being denied is one of several possible outcomes, and are so as a result of a rather rigid bureaucracy. As to the topic, Yes they simply can nullify your contract, your not eligible to hold the post. While a nullification may not survive an appeal to the Labor Board, it may very well survive such an appeal.

You seem to think your one observation of an action plan somehow characterizes all action plans and if your observation is one, than yes I have seen more than you.

Because you plagiarized, thats the correct term for one one commits plagiarism. Words are not your exclusive domain.
More TPF, I absolutely understand what a Bundesland is, your opinion I dont doesnt make it true.

Then stop talking in circles, because it doent make you right.

I use MOE, since its a more generic term that the readership and those in our profession generally understand to mean without having to look the German term up.

It would not be easier from OS, unless the applicant would be happy with a denial, and the applicant just wants to apply, maybe to get an understanding how close or far away they would be. Otherwise yes you need an appointment or offer of an appointment if you want to do more than just engage in an exercise of posting documents.

From you, its in your reference to your classic non-sense of all you need to get a job in the EU is a contract.

Yeah, there I go again (and again), The entirety of your post is nothing more than restating my position and adding your own unique brand of fluff and filler. Yes I can, but why say the same thing differently when it was right to begin with, because it was true then and is true now.

I dont think enough about you to form a position.
