So you’re teaching abroad with kids—but how do you find a school that’s the right fit for both your career and your family?

In this Teacher Toolbox episode, we (Trisha & Brandi) break down a practical roadmap for educator-parents navigating international school jobs.

We share real advice on how to read international school job ads, spot red and green flags in leadership culture, and ask smart interview questions that reveal what life will actually look like for you and your family.
