FAQs About Becoming an International School\u00a0Teacher<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u201cQ:\u00a0What qualifications are necessary in order to become a teacher at an international school?<\/p>\n

\n
J: Most reputable international schools will want teachers to be certified and have at least a bachelor\u2019s degree. Some of the more competitive schools would like you to have at least 2 years of teaching experience and\/or your master\u2019s degree as well. If you are already living abroad and you want to pursue teaching, you can start an online teaching program where you can get certified and\/or your masters.<\/div>\n
\n

M:\u00a0No matter what, to become a teacher you should have your teaching certificate (as mentioned several times previously, but hey- some people overlook it!). There are several programs available that last from one to two years, and others as short as nine months. There are also programs that will give you a master\u2019s degree as well as a teaching certificate, but not ALL education master programs do that, so make sure you do your research\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Related to what teaching qualifications that you need to work at international schools, we have 936 comments that have been submitted on this comment topic on our website: “Describe what kinds of teachers work here (local vs. expat, nationality, qualifications [or lack there of], etc.) and staff turnover rate.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here is one of them from\u00a0American School of Torreon<\/a>: “It is roughly 60% local and 40% import. The staff turn-over rate is on average 2-3 years. The turn-over has been higher in the past due to instability in the area that has declined and stabilized recently. Almost all new staff is licensed and from the states. Many teachers are retired from the US or very young, new teachers. It has a good internal culture though.”<\/p>\n

How do you become an international school\u00a0teacher?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<\/article>\n

“How do you find an international school teaching job?<\/p>\n

1. Sign up with an international school recruiting company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would highly recommend\u00a0Search Associates<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0International Schools Service<\/a>\u00a0(ISS). A lot of the accredited and reputable international schools uses either or both of these companies. Both companies have multiple job fairs throughout the year in the US, Asia, Australia, and Europe that teachers can go to. Also, they have extensive online database that they put your profile in that many international schools look at to recruit. There is a fee when you sign up, but it is worth it. I would recommend Search Associates, because I\u2019ve used that and had good success with finding jobs. Also, you will need confidential administrator recommendations and also parent recommendations for teaching positions…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Recruitment agencies are definitely a part of many international school teachers’ experience trying to secure a job in the international school community. We have a number of articles (9) that have been submitted in our blog category called <\/em>“9 Lessons Learned Regarding Intl School Hiring Fairs<\/a>“.\u00a0Here is a blurb from our latest one titled \u201cRemember to check yourself in the mirror before you leave your hotel room for the day\u2019s interviews.\u201d:<\/em><\/p>\n

“The first fair that I ever went to, I didn\u2019t even own a suit. I had to get one from a department store a couple of weeks before. I remember not even knowing what the \u201crules of wearing a suit\u201d were at the time. I ended up getting advice from the \u201csuit expert\u201d at the store; when and when not to button the 3rd button, which tie colours were best \u201csuited\u201d for interviewing, etc. I felt a bit silly when I wore this suit at the time of the fair, but I ended up getting 4 offers, so maybe my new clothes were having the right effect. I only had two sets of shirts and ties (using the same suit), so I hope that none of the schools noticed being that many teachers have multiple interviews with the same school over the 2-3 days of the fair...”<\/span><\/p>\n
