Book Summary The text, The International Teacher, is demonstrating that it takes more than a name to produce and identify an International Teacher. The process involves the instrumentality of international organizations such as the United Nations Educational and Scientific Organisation(UNESCO), the Institute of International Education (IIE), Education International (EI), the committed will of the teacher by acquiring higher education, hard work and special financial investments. In the survey done with foreign teachers, the data have shown that they are in agreement with the establishment of an international programme-institution that would help teachers acquire higher levels of training and certification. However, while every teacher would not participate for various reasons, the majority would for personal advancement and for the development of education globally. The text also states that teaching is a complex process and requires quality teachers to make it effective and achieve its objectives. Therefore, the teacher should be fairly treated and rewarded so that he can appreciate the offerings of the profession especially at retirement. It concludes by listing the different programmes now in existence that provide some aspects of international training through exchange activities and recommends the names of the most influential organisations. Author Biography Arthur S. Comrie has worked in education and training for forty years as classroom teacher, Co-operative Education Specialist and Principal of All-Age Schools. He taught students at different age levels, kindergarten to adult, and did written work on developmental issues for local newspapers. Currently, he is searching for educational instruments that are applicable to the development of World-Class Standard of Education. He will seek to have them administered according to their relevance at local, national and international levels.

Imagine yourself heading to the airport, knowing that you're jumping head first into the adventure of your life. You're traveling abroad, not for vacation but to live. In a few days, you'll have settled into your new apartment, and you'll meet your students. You're in for the amazing experience of teaching at an international school, and you don't even need to know a foreign language. International teaching jobs present great opportunities for teachers to expand their horizons, see the world, and experience teaching and everyday life in a manner that many can only imagine. But to a locally based teacher, international teaching jobs can also seem elusive. For most teachers, international teaching jobs are not familiar. International vacations are one thing, but a job search that will likely result in the signing of a contract to move abroad and teach in a new environment presents a number of challenges. However, international teaching jobs provide excellent opportunities for teachers who are willing and able to take this significant step. Who becomes an international teacher, and why is it becoming an increasingly attractive opportunity? What do international schools look for when they recruit teachers? How does one go about transitioning from a locally based teacher to an international one? While schools in the English speaking world are making cutbacks, domestic teaching positions have become increasingly difficult to find. Hiring freezes are in place and teacher lay-offs are on the rise. In addition to this, teacher salaries have not kept pace with inflation in recent years, and some teachers have even had their pay cut. And things are not looking any better in the near term. In the English speaking world, the competition is stiff for teachers who are looking for jobs. Fortunately this is not the case for international teaching jobs where there is still a buyer's market, and the demand for teachers at international schools is steadily increasing. Currently there are over 250,000 teachers employed worldwide by international schools. Every year thousands of teachers are hired through job fairs, through Skype interviews and through other means. International Schools that use an English Language curriculum are reaching record enrollments all over the world. Despite the global economic downturn this trend looks set to continue. It is likely that within ten years, the number of international schools around the world will double. This naturally makes the market for international teaching jobs more and more attractive and makes this an ideal time to begin taking the steps that will result in an international teaching job for you. While school districts in the English speaking world are cutting back, and teacher positions are more difficult than ever to obtain, international teaching jobs are becoming more attractive than ever to teaching candidates. Around the world, more parents than ever are recognizing the benefits of an international education and sending their children to English language international schools to give them early exposure to English to get them an advantage in the global economy that they'll grow up into. In many countries fluency in the English language is considered a prerequisite to success, as it opens up a tremendous number of opportunities that would not otherwise be available. This attitude is fueling the growth of the market for international teaching jobs and creating great opportunities for teachers. Don't miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime.

Scenario One Imagine a teacher walking into a classroom. The students stood up to greet the teacher on his or her entrance through the door, and remained standing until they were beckoned to sit down. The students then sat down, with their eyes fixed on the teacher, waiting for instructions on what to do next. The teacher was in absolute control, knew exactly what was going on, and what to expect from the students. On their part, the students knew exactly what to expect from the teacher; standing up to greet the teacher on his or her entrance into the classroom was normal. In fact, it was cultural. They had therefore not done anything extraordinary. The teacher proceeded to have a verygood class period. Nothing different was expected; this was a normal day. Scenario Two Imagine the same teacher, with the same expectations as in Scenario One, walking into a different classroom. The students did not stand up to greet him or her; they did not know about such a tradition, nor was it a part of their culture. In fact, some were standing and chatting with friends as he or she entered the classroom.

This book examines how injustice based on social positioning is performed within the context of international schools. Drawing on the lived experiences of an international school teacher, it proposes and explores the notion that teachers, in being constituted and positioned as subordinate within the hierarchy that is the international school, leads to their being wronged on three counts: epistemically for being wrongfully mistrusted; ethically for being wrongfully excluded; and ontologically for being wrongfully positioned as a lesser human being. The book addresses the dearth of research currently available on conflict in international schools and how conflict between teachers and administrators is dealt with in and by such institutions. It will be valuable reading for students and teachers of education and sociology, and those interested in the workings of international schools.

The International Handbook of Teacher Quality and Policy is a comprehensive resource that examines how teacher quality is conceptualized, negotiated, and contested, and teacher policies are developed and implemented by global, national, and local policy actors. Edited by two of the leading comparative authorities in the field, it draws on the research and contributions of scholars from across the globe to explore five central questions: How has teacher quality been conceptualized from various disciplinary and theoretical perspectives? How are global and transnational policy actors and networks influencing teacher policies and practices? What are the perspectives and experiences of teachers in local policy contexts? What do comparative research studies tell us about teachers and how their work and policy contexts influence their teaching? How have various countries implemented policies aimed at improving teacher quality and how have these policies influenced teachers and students? The international contributors represent a wide variety of scholars who identify global dynamics influencing policy discourses on teacher quality, and examine national and local teaching and policy environments influencing teacher policy development and implementation in various countries. Divided into five sections, the book brings together the latest conceptual and empirical studies on teacher quality and teacher policies to inform future policy directions for recruiting, educating, and supporting the teaching profession.

With the growth of globalization, people and cultures are coming together like never before. As an international teacher, I am an example of this phenomenon. After six years abroad, the last three working at an international school in Mongolia, I returned to Canada noticeably changed and struggling to understand the impact of my experiences. Limited literature on international teacher experience led me to engage in this self-study in which I use methods of narrative inquiry to better understand my personal journey of learning and change over the three years that I lived and taught in Mongolia. As I unpack my journey, the artifacts that I remove from my backpack trigger memories of the moments that hold significance. I further 'unpack' my vignettes, drawing out the issues that have impacted my changing identity. As newly qualified teachers seek positions in the competitive job market, the international arena remains an appealing option. It is my hope that this book will serve to instigate self-analysis in the reader and serve as a focal point for discussion on issues that could arise while living and teaching overseas.
