Although our handout is one large document, we have broken the web version into three parts. Together, they constitute the basic information you need when considering teaching abroad. Please read each part to make sure you're considering the issues properly.
Some applications are due a year in advance of the intended starting date.
For positions with the DOD schools, the U.S.I.A. English Teaching Program, the Peace Corps, and the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program, submit applications directly to the addresses listed in the first section. For all other types of positions, one can attempt to identify schools of interest through the directories listed in the Resources section. This approach might be cost-effective if you are looking for a position in a particular location. Begin corresponding with the appropriate Headmasters or Superintendents. Because of overseas postal delays, you may wish to provide more information in your initial correspondence than you would when seeking a stateside position.
