Teaching in Mexico

by Wanderlust

Aug 7, 2011

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience or information about teaching in international schools in Mexico? I've taught overseas for about 6 years and am hoping to move somewhere that's at least a bit closer and more convenient to North America. I know the pay is generally quite low, but assume the cost of living is lower as well.

Dave It really, really, really depends where you go, and what you look like. No joke here "white" american people are targets. I'm not kidding the wrong place in mexico can get you killed. Thats why they have the army with .50 cal machine guns outside the cruise ports. That being said there are some beautiful places and culture. Yes cost of living is ge...See More

D. Thomas Yes, I saw that. ISB would be hard to pass up if offered.

Remix of Ed Keynote to Inspire Your Teachers

by Jeff Goldstein

Sep 9, 2011

In advance of the school year, in tough times, a heartfelt thank you to America's teachers.

A music video just 4 min long, a remix of a NSTA Keynote to 6,000 teachers, with an unexpectedly profound impact. A quick look?

Need Project Help

by Sandra

Sep 9, 2011

Hello, I am an Education Student and I am working on a project where we have to contact teachers in a different country. I was just wondering if someone could give me information about schools overseas and how they compare to schools in the US. I would really appreciate any information you could help me with. Thanks so much! Sandra

Leah You may need to be more specific. Perhaps go on the the Canadian or another chatboard and ask your questions.

School Psyc I was also worried about how to order kits, etc., as I said previously. However, I had confirmation today, that as a NASP member, I can order any of the materials that I would need as a school psychologist.

Yea!

Dave Honestly this is right up Thomas's alley since hes on the ground there. Its one of the top two elite schools in Beijing (the other school being WAB). China has little if any copyright enforcement and youd be able to kit what ever psychometric kits you'd need, though there wouldnt be a lot of testing from a practical standpoint.
