New survey: How many years have you been at your current placement?

Survey number 5 has arrived!  Topic:  How many years have you been at your current placement?

Have you ever heard that international teachers should really stay longer their initial 2 year contract at an international school?  I have heard this many times from other international school teachers.  They say that it is what international school are really looking for because it says that you are one that will “stay awhile” at your new placement.  Sometimes it is not possible to stay for longer than 2 years, other times you surprise yourself and stay longer and it is year 5 before you know it.  I don’t think you have much to worry about if you only stay at your school for 2 years, but I will say that it doesn’t hurt if you have a few of your placements last longer than 4 years.

So, which is it?  Go to the homepage of International School Community and submit your vote today!
