I am a licensed American teacher on the 1st year of a contract working in China. My school is on a Cambridge curriculum. I teach secondary ELA along with an IGCSE subject.

I’m getting ready for recruiting season next year, and I would really like to land my first ever IB teaching role. I’d also like to target a school outside of China, but I am fairly open to where that is (I don’t want gcc countries personally, but I would be open to Oman).

My question is, would it be worthwhile to attend an IB workshop online while I get ready for the recruiting season? I’ve seen mixed opinions on here about this so I thought I would make a separate thread.

I would really like to land a job somewhere in South East Asia or South Asia specifically. I’ve seen some people say schools in Bangladesh can be a good stepping stone, and I think that would be really awesome. Would AISD or ISD in Dhaka require explicitly IB experience? I’m also open to schools in India that have standard-ish contracts or good packages.

I’m signing up for search and GRC as soon as possible too.

Thanks for the guidance!
