Hey everyone,
I’m an ALT in Japan with a bachelor’s in elementary education and a teaching certificate. I did my student teaching in Spain for about three months and worked at a summer school for three years, but I don’t have any full-time teaching experience after graduating since I joined JET right away.
I want to transition to international schools, but I’m not sure of the best way to do it. I’ve seen some people say that working as a kindergarten teacher, substitute, or part-time teacher can be a stepping stone, but I’m wondering if that’s actually a good route or if there are better options. Also, does ALT experience count as actual teaching experience when applying to international schools?
I’m not looking to teach in the U.S. right now because if you know, you know.
Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar situation or has advice!
