This was a special episode as we caught up with some of our previous guests who are finishing either their first or second year of international teaching. As expected, they had many lessons and tips to share! Tonya Busse joined us from Kingston, Jamaica. Jessica Simmons connected from Abuja, Nigeria. And Mel Idema and Cole Savage dialed in from Abu Dhabi.
You can listen to their individual interviews if you missed them. Mel & Cole, a married couple in their second year were on for Episode 13, Tonya Busse, a single teacher in her first year was our guest for Episode 29, and Jessica Simpson, a married teacher with a trailing spouse husband, joined us for Episode 31
Our Guiding Question was, “Based on the past school year, how is your experience of international teaching going?”
To help answer this question, our no-longer “newbies” answered the following subquestions:
- What were one or two high points from the past school year?
- Do you have a low point to share?
- What are the next steps for you?
- Do you have any sage advice for aspiring international teachers on:
- Recruiting
- Interviewing
- Transition Prep
- Doing your own version of orientation
