Job Site: Teach Anywhere

If you're a licensed teacher (or have a BA, TEFL cert, and 3 years TEFL experience) and are from one of the 7 English speaking countries (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, or the US), then you can literally travel the world with Teach Anywhere.

You can search for jobs or register with them to find out when upcoming jobs fit your profile. Although they're a recruiter, they tend to be one of the better one.


Got an idea for a job site?
Email me with your job site, name, and website (if you have one) and I'll post it ASAP.

How to Make Classroom Rules

The majority of teachers, if not all of them, have classroom rules. The problem with these rules is that they make the classroom into a dictatorship.

I was talking to some friends the other day and they suggested making rules for everyone: including the teacher.

Here's what we came up with. Simple, but it gets the point across. You could try doing something similar with your classes and have your students make the rules.

For the students
  • Come on time
  • Do your homework
  • Speak in English
For everyone
  • Listen to each other
  • Respect each other
  • Remember that it's ok to make mistakes
For the teacher
  • Finish class on time
  • Mark papers and exams within a week
  • Give advanced notice of tests

International Baccalaureate (IBO schools)

If you're a licensed teacher then you should look into teaching at IBO schools. If you aren't a licensed teacher already, look at International Schools for more information about becoming one.

IBO schools are a specific type of international schools. Try reading the article, International Schools to find out more about how to find jobs, recruiting fairs, and recruiting schedules.

There are three sections in the IBO. Some schools only offer one of these programmes and some have all three.
  • PYP: primary years programme
  • MYP: middle years programme
  • IB: diploma programme
IBO's Teaching Awards
There are postgrad certificates and diplomas available for those who teach in or want to teach in IBO schools. See the IBO's website for more information. Murdoch University in Australia also has a PGCE available.
