Other Helpful Information
I also know of Queens' University in Kingston, Ontario (where I got my job) and Hunter College in New York City. The largest International Teacher fair is at the University of Iowa.
Most schools have you commit to two years as a minimum, occasionally you'll see one or three years, and but you may continue to sign contracts beyond that if you enjoy the location. Middle Eastern countries offer as little as 6 month commitments and pay really well as they have a harder time finding qualified candidates to teach there and have a high percentage of American military children.
When you see a percentage listed next to a school that is the approximate percentage you are able to save. This is their way of giving you a better idea of your salary in comparison to the cost of living in that location.
Families and significant others who are teachers as well are often welcome and even preferred by some schools as they often view that as a reason for you to stay at your position longer.
I plan to use this blog to document my travels so stay tuned!
Also, if you have any additional questions for me I will be checking my regular email more often than this blog so send me a message at tiffanyemerick@gmail.com
