Hey Tomcat. Still downing Gin and Tonics endlessly on your Bangkok balcony or have you moved on to some new niche in paradise?
^When he's not hassling me on dating sites, he likes a good G&T
Only joking TC, that user sent me abusive messages because of comments on my profile by some bird who liked me a few weeks ago. He likes her and is obviously stalking her round the site to every corner she has ever browsed
Thai guys, huh.
Welcome to TD Maffew. Glad to see you show up. Not looking forward to your long winded 50 paragraph essays but you're a good egg.
Welcome back, are you state certified? You could look at lead teacher or Head of ESL maybe? I'll probably be back in LOS in 2018 myself-currently in Myanmar; an interesting posting but not a long term one.
Good to see ya back, Matt!
Matt look into doing EAL for NiST or another American curriculum school.
Welcome back, Matthew.
Are you still in the Pac Northwest?
But what's really great about this region is the mountains and forests all around. The North Cascades being my current favorite.
...so even with all the alphabetty spaghetti after your name, you're (what adverb can I use without it coming across wrong?) an English teacher?
I'm curious because, I would anticipate that anyone qualified up to (what we Limeys call) QCF Level 7, would be talking to "proper" schools, not small-town Siamese secondary schools.
Surely the demand is for more sort of management gigs like this:

Bangkok , Thailand
Permanent, full-time

We are currently searching for an experienced School Bursar / School Business Manager to support the Executive Headmaster and project manage the exiting new school build
...or more sciencey subject teachers?
It sounds like a pretty viable and sustainable career, when you do the balance sheet, income v total costs of living etc...
Matthew, a place like this might interest you. Read it in the latest BK magazine, thought it was april fools day
a few (possibly inconvenient) questions:
a) How much are the polos? Who has the contract to make/supply them? Where do the profits go?
b) Where were the teachers trained? What makes their classroom approach different from the usual turgid Thai class hours?
c) Where were the admins trained? Is the money flow transparent? Are "private donations" accepted/required to "support the school?"
d) Who writes the tests? Are they trained evaluators?
f) How does "training students to think" prepare them for a future in Thailand?
Majestically enthroned amid the vulgar herd
DJ Pat - I sent that place my stuff a couple of weeks back, though the last time they were actively seeking applications for a specific position was back in June. That's very much the kind of place I'm looking for. Haven't heard back yet, unfortunately.
Wot no Engrish?
Satit Thammasat Secondary School
I never heard back from them...but I was very far behind their stated hiring period so I wasn't expecting much.
As it always has been: best to be there.
Off to S. Korea in a couple of weeks - our first stop on the journey back.
Korea, two weeks in. Things are pretty good. Here's a somewhat random handful of pics...
Teacher training sessions in action, local restaurants, Seoul commuters, college campuses, conference presentation audiences, etc. in no particular order.
