Apply without certification - French German teacher
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 8:30 am
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum, and my first year looking for an international job!
I am a French citizen, and I am certified to teach German. I have taught German for 12 years in France before I moved to the US in 2013. This is my 5th year teaching German Middle School in the US.
Before I left France, I obtained a Diploma for teaching French as a foreign language from the Alliance Française, but I don't have any experience teaching French. And no IB experience either.
I am registered wit ISS and I often get notifications about schools in need of French teachers. Most of the time, the requirements include teaching experience, and/or IB experience. My first choice would be to keep teaching German, but positions are rare. I am confident I could teach French, and I would love to, but I am not certified.
Will my applications to French teacher positions be considered?
What are my chances to get hired as a French teacher?
Also, I have been awarded the QTS. Can this help me find a position?
I am open to any advice and suggestions!
Thank you.
