Teaching K-12
Department of Defense Schools
Located at military bases in countries around the world, DOD schools employ around many U.S. citizens. The teaching environment is roughly similar to that of U.S. public schools. Contact with host-country nationals is relatively limited.
Private International Schools
The U.S. Dept. of State: Teaching Overseas offers a list of websites offering teaching jobs overseas.
Volunteer Organizations
Despite the name, most volunteer placements, if long-term
(two years), usually cover expenses and provide a stipend. Options range from
the government-sponsored Peace Corps to religious organizations
(from non-proselytizing to traditional missionaries).
Unlike private schools, pupils in these schools will be the children of ordinary people from the host country. Visit the Peace Corps website. Contact religious organizations directly; some recruit at the teaching abroad fairs already mentioned.
Fulbright Teacher Exchange
Program (K-12)
This program is unique in two respects:
it is a one-for-one exchange of teachers between schools, and
teachers are fully integrated into regular host-country schools.
Applicants must currently have a full-time teaching or administrative
position. Application deadline is in October for the following
academic year. Contact the Fulbright
Teacher Exchange Program.

University Teaching
Nearly all university positions require a Ph.D. (or at least “ABD”) or other terminal professional degree.
Teaching for Study Abroad Programs
This is generally a tough market since U.S.-sponsored
programs tend to use home-campus faculty or hire local professors.
One organization sometimes hires resident directors and also
publishes resource lists on teaching and internship opportunities
abroad: School for International Training..
Fulbrights
Information on Fulbright grants to support an academic year of teaching in an overseas university is available from the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES). Grants also available for international education administrators.
Special Placement Programs
Colorado China Council. Graduates and others from the U.S. are placed as teachers at institutes throughout China, including Mongolia, for six or 11 months. Administrative fee for recent graduates. CCC offers placements in universities in the People’s Republic of China, especially in English, TESL, journalism, business, sciences, and engineering.
Regular Faculty Positions
See such standard academic job listings as those in the Chronicle of Higher Education or the Guardian
(U.K.).
