Highlighted article \u2013 What\u2019s it Like Teaching Abroad? An International Teacher Case Study<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ve ever considered the option of going abroad to teach at an international school, then this article featuring a case study who has worked at many international schools is for you\u201d<\/p>\n

Highlights from the article:<\/p>\n

How has teaching abroad benefited you and how has your international experience affected your family?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been the best thing that could have happened for us all, even for Matthew who never actually lived abroad with me, because we spent quality time when we were together, not so much quantity time but really good quality time.\u00a0 Both Matthew and Jessica are much more internationally-minded because of this.\u00a0 They have both traveled more extensively as a result and experienced different countries not just from the perspective of a holiday-maker but from actually living there.<\/p>\n

Finally, what advice would you give to anyone thinking about going to live abroad and work as a teacher at an international school?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em>Well, I would absolutely recommend it!\u00a0 Not just for developing you professionally but also developing you personally.\u00a0 The people who work in international schools are incredibly positive, interesting, confident, independent people.\u00a0 They are really open, friendly and interested in you as a person.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s the type of person who is attracted to working abroad and also you are dependent on each other for so many things because you have no family close at hand and so, as a result, you become more supportive and inclusive of others who are in the same situation.<\/p>\n
