Work / New Job at Warsaw International School as an English teacher - Advice? What should I expect? [26]

[Moved from]: job opportunities at international schools in warsaw

Looking for advice:

I have years of experience in teaching in the Primary Division/Junior Division in the Canadian school system. I am not a Native speaker, since I moved to Canada as a high school student. I would like to work in an international setting. Since I am not a native speaker, I am afraid that I will face some kind of disadvantage when looking for a teaching job. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks!

It all depends on the age of your students.
There should be clear rules and expectations set at the very beginning. Also, it is important to think about classroom management techniques - after all you will be dealing with kids and they like to test boundaries.

My husband is a native speaker but has no background in teaching English, what courses would you recommend so he can work in a corporate setting? Please advise.

Currently, on top of my Bach. in Education, my additional qualifications include ELL ( Teaching English Language Learners ) . That should be ok I hope.
Thanks! Good luck in your new job.

Hi Pernumba,

Atch's answer has summarized everything a school teacher should know There is a lots of planning and more planning. Also, it is worth adding that with a good paying check, comes a lots of responsibility and expectation ( which I assume a teacher at the WIS would receive).

Teaching at an international school is a very different gig than teaching adults - now, you will represent the teaching community not only yourself.
Expect the first year to be stressful, but if you are young, love your job and are surrounded by supportive staff, you will be fine. The last advice, be careful what comes out of your mouth! Kids tell on teachers,especially when the parents pay big bucks for the program.
