20、 teach overseas describes nearly 100% of recruiting-fair candidates. So, how do you set yourself above the bar with so many high caliber candidates competing for the same positions? A Director’s gut feeling about how you’ll fit into and adapt to their school and geographical location certainly play
21、s a big part in the decision-making process. For some hardship locations, a “good fit” may be more important than actual years of teaching experience and advanced degrees.

24、ticipating and honing your answers to possible interview questions is obviously the best way to prepare for a successful interview. You just might be Teacher of the Year material but if you can’t convince the interviewer of that, all is for naught. 10 things international schools look for when hiri
25、ng new teachers Published on 17th November, by Andrew Wigford. Published in For Candidates / TIC News Are you considering teaching in an international school? Here's our list of the top 10 qualities schools look for in their teachers! There are many international schools considered to be amongst
26、 the most progressive and well-respected schools in the world. But don’t be daunted by that. They need great teachers, and good schools will support their teachers to become part of their learning-focused ethos. So what do these schools look for when hiring new teachers? Here are the top 10 qualiti
27、es that most international schools look for in the teachers they hire: Enthusiastic teachers who love working with young people Nothing compares with your passion for learning and teaching. So if you’re enthusiastic and committed to meeting the learning needs of each and every student, you’re half
28、 way there. Responsible teachers who do their research Finding the right school is important, for both you and your employer. Show that you have done your research, that you know the school, its focus, its philosophy. Demonstrate that you have thought seriously about the location, how you’ll resp
29、ond to the move, and how you’ll cope with leaving home. Be prepared to explain why you want to move abroad. Teachers who are internationally minded You may be choosing to live and work in a location very different to your home country, and within a culture very different to your home culture. You
30、will be working with students and families from many different countries and backgrounds, and with teachers and school staff who have very different training and experience to what you may be used to. You must be willing to accept and value differences, to respect the country you are living and work
31、ing in and to be truly internationally minded, in and out of work. Flexible teachers who are able to adapt International schools vary dramatically – in location, size, student intake, staffing, curriculum, philosophy, and more. The best international teachers are willing and eager to adapt, and to
32、 embrace new circumstances and unexpected challenges. Teachers who have much to offer If you can teach a range of subjects or age groups, and have specialist skills, you’ll stand out from the crowd and be a real asset. Teachers who want to be fully involved in the life of the school Internationa
33、l schools are more than just places of education. Many students and staff are expatriates and turn to the school as their ‘family’. It is the social hub and the source for extra-curricular activities; for the students, staff and their families. Schools are looking for teachers who are happy to get f
34、ully involved in school life and its community. Teachers who can lead extra-curricular activities Most after school activities for international school children happen through the school. This means that extra-curricular activities are an important aspect of international school life. Being able a
35、nd willing to lead or support an extra-curricular activity is expected of international school teachers. It shows you have true commitment to the school, and more importantly to the children, outside of the classroom. Teachers who are loyal International schools are renowned for their short-term c
36、ontracts, meaning that teachers can often move on to another school in another country after two years. However, international schools also value loyalty and often look for teachers who have commitment and staying power, who have extended their contracts in previous jobs and value the benefits that
37、a more established teaching staff can bring. Teachers who can work with second or third language learners Many students at international schools speak English as a second or third language. This means adapting your teaching methods to help students fully engage in the learning. Teachers who have E
38、ASL or Mother Tongue training or good experience are valued. Teachers who want to develop professionally and are lifelong learners International schools offer great opportunities for both career and personal development and love teachers who show a desire to keep learning. Actively seeking profess
39、ional development opportunities and sharing your learning and specialist experience with your colleagues is valued by schools, especially those that are isolated and where external training opportunities may be restricted. You don’t need all of these qualities to become a teacher at an international school, but having some of them will help, particularly enthusiasm and international mindedness, and don’t forget to work with TIC who will help you find the best job for you!
