Teaching internationally is increasing in popularity year after year, but the world of international schools is complex and often very different to working in the United Kingdom.
In this session Chris Hoare will discuss what teaching geography internationally is really like. How do you apply for jobs, what to expect, things to consider when looking to move abroad and what it is really like to live, work and teach geography internationally?
The session will also include a question and answer session, where you can ask Chris questions about his experiences moving, living and working abroad.
