No, not the holiday season, the recruitment season!

Every year around this time, international school teachers start to think about what they might like to do next August.

Right now teachers all around the world are deciding if they will stay another year, or move on to a new school. They are looking at employment vacancies around the world and imagining what life might be like in Doha, or Hanoi, or Beijing, or Buenos Aires.

Several of my friends have already accepted positions in new schools and I could not be more excited for them. I love the idea that we have the amazing opportunity to continue to do the job we love anywhere in the world. Could there be a better career?

It does make me wonder though – who else is blogging in the international school circuit? I love reading about Jeff’s adventures in Shanghai, Julie’s successes in Dhaka, Susan’s experiences in Singapore, I even discovered John Merrit’s Head of School blog from Krakow (not yet listed on Scott’s 100 Principals wiki), and Andrew Torris‘ Principal blog from Shanghai (listed on the wiki, along with several others I will start reading) and I’m ready for more!

What are international school teachers and administrators thinking about? Do you know of any international school teacher blogs? Are you an international school teacher? Leave a comment and share your blog!
