Teaching Pathways In Thailand And Inter Schools

[AussieTrent]

I am looking for knowledge of the job market in International schools.

I have been told you need to know someone to get these jobs.

I am applying for uni next year, Bachelor of Junior Primary and Primary.

I am 34, living in Australia and married to a Thai woman. I will be getting close to 40 when I enter the workforce as as educator.

I am very serious about this career change and I am really excited about it.

We want to move to Thailand in the future and I want to find out how to start making the right contacts early if need be.

I want to know if these schools will take me on fresh out of university. I really want to work in a good school with good peers.

I would like to make friends with some teachers in Thailand, some peers to look up to and get advice, help and information from.

If that sounds like you give me a hoy!

I think there are many school that would, so long as you have a western teaching credential for what you are teaching. You may have to start in a bottom tier/mediocre school for a couple of years before you work your way up to a bigger one.

Having done your practicum in your home country is a big advantage; use it on your resume as it is experience in a western school as well as any observations you have done etc.

Good luck!
