American Teachers Needed For Record Number of Teaching Jobs Abroad in 2017

Teach Away seeks qualified US teachers to fill their highest ever number of teaching jobs overseas as international teacher recruitment season opens.

Leading international teacher recruitment company, Teach Away, is currently seeking applications from certified US teachers to fill a record high number of teaching jobs at schools around the world. Teach Away reports their highest number of international teacher vacancies to date, as overseas job opportunities for 2016 - 2017 have increased by 150% compared to the previous year. This increase is almost certainly due to the international school market almost doubling in size over the past five years.

As the international recruitment season kicks off for the upcoming school year, American teachers are in especially high demand for career opportunities in the Middle East and Asia. Teachers with a US teaching license, Bachelor’s degree and two years of post-certification experience, who are open minded and looking for a new adventure, could be in the running for some of the world’s most sought-after teaching jobs. Some of the most exciting current opportunities include the following:
