As some of you know from either meeting me or reading my posts, I'm a teacher here in the US. I spend my 13+ weeks off a year traveling the globe. Spending 25% of time time abroad has certainly turned my head more than once and kept me fresh, but I have been getting the bug to go abroad to work.
I am a good teacher. A damn good one, if I want to toot my horn. I'm fully tenured and credentialed, and an expert on language acquisition and the mechanics of reading. Sick of America, it's time to use these skills abroad.
The type of teaching position I'm looking for isn't a teaching English position that is synonymous with ex-pat's abroad. I'm looking for a teaching job at a Diplomatic School, that will more or less match my US salary, and teach an American curriculum in English as the first language.
The State Department has posted a rather extensive list of schools that I'd be looking into in the coming months. http://www.state.gov/m/a/os/c1684.htm
If you have experience or any sort of connection to this field, feel free to reply to this thread or shoot me a PM. It would be much appreciated.
