I think this class so far has been helping me to decide a lot of things. The first is that I am excited to teach in general, but I'm still in a flurry of deciding where.
I've always said I will take a job wherever I would get one. Now I think, through this class and another TE class this semester, I've started to decide where I really want to be.
When I was in China, we toured an international school. The children were all parents of one or more American passport holder, but they were still extremely diverse. And last week, in my class, we interviewed a woman who teaches in the UAE in an international school.
I am fascinated with the idea of being surrounded in a culture very different from my own, but still having the comfort of a mostly American school. I've always wanted to teach in a different country, but I don't think I have ever wanted to teach in a school that was run by that country. I will be looking into these schools and hopefully begin looking at the pros and cons of different countries since 'where' is still up for debate.
