So I am thinking of the possibility of teaching abroad, and am curious as to how I would go about getting started with it all......

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, and have my teaching certification through the state in which I live in. I have yet to find a full-time teaching position, but have gained a lot of experience since being done with college for three years now....

I have been a substitute teacher for grades K-12 for two years, and taught preschool for a year. I also have extra training in child development, spanish, and math curriculum.

so after I choose which Country I would like to teach in - what other information would you believe to be beneficial?

Do I need extra schooling?
How much does it cost to get started?
Is there provided curriculum at the school in which I would teach in?
Am I able to choose which grade level/age of students I would like to teach?

*I have never been to a foreign country, but think that it would be an amazing experience that is to be considered..... Any feedback, recommendations, or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You might be able to work at an intl school, look at www.tes.co.uk and www.ibo.org

Other info would be about flights, taxes, housing, meals, transport allowance,

YOu probably don-t need extra schooling, but you might need two years FT experience in a school. YOu can usually choose the grade you apply to. Try going to intl job fairs.

It sort of depends on what country you choose.

Start with learning the following:

the local language,
the market,
visa regulations,
and
career mobility.
