International Teacher Podcast Matt, Kent, Jacqueline, & Greg

Listen to the funniest recruiting story EVER. Jeff Lindstrom has been overseas on and off since the 1980's. His stories are amazing. His wisdom is priceless.

Sarah Potter is a mother of two, a 23 year veteran Aussie teacher and preparing to leave to teach in China. Listen to this interview as she is just two months out. She's already made her packing list and bought her tickets. Her paperwork is submitted.
This is an incredible interview from an avid ITP listener. Our thoughts go along with Sarah as she first experiences the magic of the "best kept secret in education".

Jenna Slack-Larimer is a seasoned middle school teacher originally from the Chicago area. She joins us now from Guadalajara, Mexico at the well established ASFG as a high school math teacher. But her international journey to Mexico started off at a Canadian International school as a grade 3 teacher! Fart jokes just aren't the same in elementary!

This episode is packed with advice as JP and Jenna shed light on Mexican culture, banking, "feminachis", and teaching in Mexico. Jenna is also married to a Mexican, so she paints the picture of the struggles of applying for US Visas.

This is an epic ITP episode that hits a lot of International Teaching topics. Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) is a well-known option for USA teachers that want to travel the world and teach. Rich shares his experiences with the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS), including a few changes he has seen in the past decade. But we don't stop there.

Rich Walwarth has a powerful resume (CV), vitality, passion for learning, and many experiences to draw upon during interviews. His problem is getting [usually younger] interviewers to look past his age! Join us for his advice going out to those of us that are getting up there in our years!

HAM radio is one of Rich's many extra-curricular offerings at schools. If you are a HAM radio tinkerer, reach out to Rich on his call signs: (Korean) H01ZAR or (Philippines) DU1ZXO. We should all learn how to use HAM radios to be better prepared for the coming zombie apocalypse!

Nelson and Lisa File join us and share stories of living and teaching in four different countries. They started off with two years in the Peace Corps, then transitioned into International teaching at a school in Zaire (for only seven weeks). Civil unrest didn't deter them.

Instead, they spent the next three decades in three different places: India: Oman: and until just recently, Tasmania. Lisa, Nelson, and their three kids have stories to tell!

Join us to hear wisdom based on experience.
