The base pay already includes cost of living differences and the housing c...See More

kgteach Hello teacher's spouse! I totally think that your husband has a change of getting hired this year. It doesn't hurt to apply. I applied with only 2 years experience and certification in grades k-6. I landed two interviews and got a job as a kindergarten teacher stateside!
