 |
|
Anyone around here teach at an International School, or similar, ie teach kids? Seems like most of you teach adults? I would like to teach children as I will be bringing my daughter with me and would like her to attend the school I teach at (having already done this in another country).
Have PM'd a couple of people already but thought I'd bring my question here also, any info anyone could give me would be great.
Thanks,

You need a teacher's license to teach at an International school. The average tuition is 9-11,000+ USD for a 9 1/2 academic year.
If you are qualified to teach at an International school try to secure a position outside of the country. It seems like there is more competition in recent years. |

Not entirely true. The schools prefer a B.ED. in a subject as those type of schools need someone to teach content and not just ESL. A B.ED. isn't the same as actually having a teaching license. In reality, a B.A. and a cert is all that is needed as far as the gov't is concerned. I was considered for work at one of them last year at one of the major Int. Schools for computers due to my B.A., Microsoft Cert, and my TESOLs; but took work closer to home for a little less rate of pay.
Not having a B.ED. is a huge hurdle though. You do need to have something impressive to even get through the front door for the interview.

More competition than ever. These are the full time weekday, morning and afternoon, and western pay scale jobs. |

Thanks for your PM's guys. I'm aware of the fees (ouch) and that they prefer a really good qualification at IS's. I'll see what I can do, and can always alter my plan. Such as homeschooling and working around this. I don't think I'll have too much trouble finding a decent job teaching as I'm young, white, female and blonde, and as terrible as it sounds this worked great for me in Thailand (I was on the roster at the school I applied to before I'd even demo'd, and while working there and putting my feelers out I got job offers over the net). I'm not afraid of a little hard to work to find something that works for us!
