Teachers from Abroad
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A blog poster noted yesterday that two teachers of the year in DeKalb County are Indian educators placed by a firm called Intalage. DeKalb is not the only metro Atlanta school system to turn to internationals to fill teaching positions. An organization called Visiting Faculty International places teachers from all over the world in elementary, middle and high schools.
Not all of these teachers work out. Some cannot maintain discipline in the classroom. Some experience culture shock. Some don’t feel welcome at their school.
But for school systems in need of teachers, it seems an option worth considering.
Tell us about your experience with foreign teachers in public schools…
