A Guide to Teaching at International Schools in China

It's often said that teaching is a vocation, not just an occupation. In fact, many of us got into this line of work because we were passionate about the very idea of shaping young minds and contributing to their growth - however, it’s no secret that there are plenty of other factors at play when deciding where one would like teach in order for themself as well make good money from doing what they love most: teaching. The international schools have taken over with some big names such being the likes of "International" which really means anything but local - these institutions already seem to be able generate large amounts of capital by exploiting their foreign-sounding brand name alone, or so it seems when one considers hiring teachers from countries other than China like Britain and America. There are many who will not only just teach a whole class load on an average day (and sometimes several classes in the same subjects), but also do some admin jobs as part of your package - this really does show how these International schools truly can be run by any number, they have already got far more work than what would normally occur within one normal school week let alone when placed side-by-side alongside those working full-time shifts on nothing short of overtime.

The reality is such that there exist many international private and public high/middle level institutions in the country with English language-based curriculums (including IB), which by their very nature attract foreign teachers to come over as well because they offer better pay than what you would expect for someone qualified like them - plus being able get some pretty interesting experience while teaching here without feeling too out of place due your background. This indeed catches the attention, when these international schools in China have a tendency towards hiring non-Chinese staff from say Britain or America and very often even Canadians who may not actually be working under their own country’s qualifications which are also being taken to heart by many Chinese students since it appears they value getting taught English as part of International Curriculum. But what is particularly striking for any teacher new to this scene isn’t necessarily all that 'International' - rather more about how things now revolve around the way in which teaching has been carried out within China itself, and whether or not we should actually class these places international from a pedagogical perspective: you see when folks hear of IB they generally think along those lines.

There are two main paths to becoming qualified enough at any given point during your educational background - essentially though being able pick up qualifications that were recognized within their own country (not necessarily China), versus having picked them up on the foreign scene where, truth be told if there’s going ever so much as one ‘China’ factor involved then this could potentially end with you trying to explain why exactly it is important not only for but also 'Chinese students', which indeed looks like a quite tricky situation seeing how teachers have been hired from both parts of World over here. So in short, teaching at international schools can be pretty interesting – especially so when working full-time shifts alongside other non-Chinese staff members where they too may find themselves having to do admin jobs due their packages - but don’t let it slip into becoming like 'just another day', since many students come from influential backgrounds meaning there is still plenty of scope for career progression within these scenes.

So, teaching in China at international schools can be a sweet deal for foreigners – especially if one has the right qualifications to back them up; this indeed catches my attention every now and then when I try figuring what it could possibly mean with 'Chinese students', since there’s no way of knowing exactly how many teachers end qualified versus those who may well not meet requirements that were set by some supposed ‘International’ curriculum from abroad. Let's face facts here, for one reason or another these schools have decided upon themselves being known worldwide - having put aside the idea completely regarding whatever it looks like – now they just want people to be able get taught a bit of English too (which indeed shows when seeing students under such circumstances). As an old joke goes: why did I decide teach? Well, that's simple enough and all you need is ‘to grade’ your life; after this however comes 'grade A' performance - which makes everyone very happy.

What truly sets these places apart from being mere normal educational facilities though isn’t necessarily what they do themselves but instead can be found when looking upon their hiring strategies for teachers who have already proven to bring totally different kinds of teaching experience over here – there indeed are some areas where Chinese private high/middle level institutions having English language-based curriculums (IB) really show off well by drawing attentions from people across whole world - as we all love a bit of 'International', don’t we? And while these international schools aren't necessarily the same thing, this isn’l what matters so much – rather more about how they’re now being run according to certain rules that have been drawn up completely for themselves which only serve in their very best interests; thus
