Breanne from Canada here! I've been working as an Educational Assistant the past 2 years. I have also taught English in Vietnam and found a real love for working with students in foreign countries to my own. I hope to hear from others about different opportunities available, meet people with similar interests in working and traveling, and learn skills and find new resources for teaching.

Hello fellow educators,

I'm excited to join this vibrant community of dedicated teachers, and I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Harish, and I have been fortunate to spend the last 13 years teaching the fascinating subject of chemistry in Maldives and United Arab Emirates. Teaching has always been more than just a profession for me; it's a lifelong passion and a mission to inspire young minds to explore the wonders of science.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of students, each with their unique learning styles and aspirations. One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching chemistry has been witnessing those "aha" moments when a complex concept clicks for a student or seeing them develop a genuine curiosity for the subject.I'm here to learn from your experiences, share insights, and collaborate on ways to make education even more engaging and effective. I look forward to engaging in thoughtful discussions, exchanging ideas, and building connections with fellow educators who share my enthusiasm for teaching and learning.

Warm Regards

Harish

I'm a secondary school teacher. I have nine 09 years of teaching experience. I'm searching for a teaching job in Gulf Countries. Anyone who can help me in this regard please....!!!!

I'm a newly teacher from England who has lived in Hong Kong for the past 6 years teaching a mix of English and Humanities (History is my original major). 

After a year of studying and teaching in an international school I would love to discuss ideas and issues with people from all over the world (especially other IB schools!).

Feel free to chat to me about anything humanities or ethics related, I have a few issues I'd like advice on regarding the latter! 

Mr Humanities

I have a question regarding what might be the best option for international school teaching certification.  FIrstly, I am a Canadian citizen but I have no interest in teaching in Canada.  I would like to have a better chance to teach at international schools (not necessarily IB but that wouldn't hurt).  I am not getting a Canadian certification because it's 2 years and upscale 15 - 20 thousand Canadian.  I am interested in doing a distance learning course that will gain me some teaching certification.

In short:  My question is will it be more valueble to do a PGCE to obtain QTS (even though I don't want to teach in the UK)?  Or is any US teaching certification just as valuable to international schools?  It's a bit tricky since I don't want to teach in the UK or in the US but it seems those are the best options for obtaining teacher status.  As I said, in Canada there are no online or affordable options...

Any insight?  

Thank you very much!

I am Ben, and I have lived and taught English language arts and EAL for 12 years in countries such as Egypt, Qatar, USA, China, and Vietnam. I am now in Spain working on an education consultancy with my wife, who is also a teacher. 

I am here to reach out to other like-minded educators and share stories and ideas. 

Hope everyone is surviving the 2020 apocalypse okay! 

Ben. 

I am keen in the exchange of teaching experiences in the International Educators. I do hope that my experiences and those of others in teaching are of immense use for the both the parties.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Abhijit.

I am a certified NYS teacher. My wife will have a masters in business leadership. What percentage of countries will she be able to teach if she wants to and what levels...k-12. College? We are exploring options. Thanks for any replies. 

2. I have looked into Cambridge international schools and and International  Baccalaureate Schools, but are their specific certifications I need?

3. If I bring my wife with me will housing be provided for both of us?

4. What is the range of pay I might expect and will housing and travel be included?

Thanks for letting me join!

Good evening. I have joined this forum with the intention to learn more on the international fora. 

I am Dr. Rajeshwari Sawant, school head of a K - 12 school in India. I am looking forward to great deliberations on education.

Regards 

I’m part of a team trying to create a new non-profit platform to be used in schools to feed children who arrive at school hungry.

Myself and my teammates would be grateful if we could post some surveys to this subreddit to get some valuable (anonymous) information from teachers. This will help us understand how teachers and Principals feel about hunger in school and give us more valuable data to tailor a solution.

If you would like to have your input, please complete the survey below.

SHORT VERSION

 - I want to become a teacher abroad ( in Sweden) have very little experience in teaching, and even less idea on where i should start. Please help me International educators, you are my only hope!

LONG  (rather self indulgent, due to currrent social distancing)  VERSION

Introduction

 Can i be Frank, 

I want to go on a journey and I'm at the very beginning.

 Now; I'm reliably informed by Julie Andrews, among others it's a very good place to start. I'm not entirely convinced of this notion always being for the best but in this instance, that is exactly where i find myself! 

I want to become a teacher, teaching abroad no less, and i have almost zero experience to boot. Basically....... Help me, PLEEEEASE! 
 

I want to take some of you on this journey, not everybody, (everybody won't want to!) there is not enough room in this vehicle any way it's currently an old robin reliant, i might upgrade at some point we shall see. Only the chosen few will in all probability see it through, me at the very least would be rather useful but its a dangerous arduous journey full of struggle full of the utmost torment i'm sure.

To give you slightly more background to this story, In August last year, i moved to Sweden (part 1 of the journey). I have  been advised i am what's known here in this magical land as a 'Kärleksinvandrare'  (Love immigrant!) as, to be fair, that is exactly what i am! 

I just happened to meet a beautiful Swedish woman ( an as yet untold  spin off prequel) and decided to take a  massive leap of faith abroad, Brexiting in, so i thought, rather unique fashion. As it turns out, perhaps not so unique, as like i say,  they already have a name for  people like me in these here parts!

Anyway, my working background is one of Telecommunication and engineering, 20 odd years in fact with a rather well known firm in Britain. It was enjoyable for a time but i yearned for a more fulfilling role, something where i could give back and be a useful part of my chosen society. I have gained A-Levels of a rather disappointing nature a long time ago. I am now, having started to study again via SFI language school, ready to and committed to being better qualified, certified and altogether more employable in a new career and industry.

Recently,  and partly due to the sinister Covid-19 sci fi global extermination attempt,  an opportunity has arisen, allowing me to test my skills and interest in teaching. It's  actually gone rather well  so far and i'm hooked! Let me in! Take my money! (There's not much!) Where do i sign up to be an English teacher here in Sweden?? Obviously the school where i've been assisting is a great source on knowledge but  why not ask around. This seems like just the place

i hope there is someone in here who has been faced with the same dilemmas as i have and shows pity on my innocence of undiluted enthusiasm for teaching and helps me along the way?

Look forward to meeting you all.

Frank!

                                       I am a new member here hoping to gain some insight and conventional wisdom on many topics as I start the process of becoming Cambridge CELTA certified and eventually taking on a role as a teacher of English abroad. I am a semi-retired career chef. I will be looking for input on teaching and related methods, techniques and good practices to better prepare me for the big transition from the 'chef' world to the teaching world. The two are not so different in ways, as being a chef is often a matter of being a teacher and evaluating performance. I am looking forward to making new acquaintances here are networking with like-minded professionals. 

Thank you,

Chef  

My name is Dana. I have been an educator for 11 years. I am a certified Special Education (K-12)/ General Education (4-8) Teacher as well as a Certified Teacher Trainer in Classroom Management/ Student Engagement and Motivation. I have had the "itch" to teach abroad for several years now. My young children are now young adults and I feel free to move on with my life in a direction of adventure, enjoyment and travel. I believe that my career in education should be able to afford me such rich learning and sharing opportunities. I would love to get started for fall of next year! I am currently teaching 5th grade RLA for my state. I am a novice when it comes to choosing reputable companies that recruit and I want my experience to be a pleasant one. I hope to learn from the experiences of people via the forum..

All the best!!
