Welcome to the sixth episode of the teaching abroad podcast. And I am so glad you’re here so that can avoid these international school red flags.
I am the kind of person who loves to know everything before I do anything, and worst of all, I like to know worse case scenarios. Therefore every time I go scuba diving, I ask the question “What will you do when a shark bites my arm?” 😂 and they usually try to tell me that I’m not going to get bitten by a shark, which I know: you are more likely to get struck by lightning than get bitten by a shark. But I need to know what they’re going to do after I have been bitten (hint: the only acceptable answer is that they’ll tickle it till it lets go – I’m not pro-punching animals – unless it’s to save my life obvs). But I want to know everything and I was the same about teaching abroad.
Want to make sure that you get hired by a reputable school? Then make sure you know these international school red flags!
This is a really interesting episode discussing the ins and outs of what to look for in a school, from my experience. This season of the teaching abroad podcast is set out to really take you on that journey, from your first step, to how to settle into a new country, on your journey of teaching abroad. The first half of this episode covers what I looked for in schools when applying. Then the second half just considers some red flags to watch out for.
In this episode you’ll learn:
5 things I was looking for in an Internationally School
- What were some deal-breakers and what I was willing to compromise on
