I teach 8th grade, and I have my masters in middle school math, certified in social studies and language arts as well...all K-9. I just turned 50 and am a healthy and active female.

Dave I usually am more conservative in my responses. It has gotten easier to get hired in the UK from a technical standpoint, but as an "american" trained teacher what do ou really know about the British education system, and why then would they hire you over a local?

D. Thomas I tend to think that differences in curriculum aren't nearly as important as the powers that be make them out to be. A good teacher should be able to adapt to virtually any curriculum since the content doesn't change all that much, just the way it is taught/learned.

Also, I do see on a UK board that for whatever reason overseas trained tea...See More
