Recruited: Tips and Tales From International Teachers in the USA (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798851741241)

Every year, hundreds of international teachers, especially from third-world countries, are recruited into hard-to-fill vacancies in the United States public school system. For many of these teachers, living and working in the United States is an opportunity to secure a better life for themselves and their families. They eagerly sign contracts and embark on their life-changing journey with little to no knowledge of exactly what they signed up for. Oftentimes, this lack of information results in these teachers encountering struggles that could have been avoided with proper guidance and correct information.

Recruited - Tips and Tales From International Teachers in the USA is a window through which the reader can catch a glimpse of what some teachers from third-world countries really encounter after the ink dries and reality sets in. Through anecdotal information, it attempts to expose the underbelly of the opportunity that non-immigrant visas afford and provides valuable strategies that could smoothen the transition for new and prospective teachers.

The stories of initial shock, struggle, and eventual triumph from experienced teachers in the USA's public school system, make Recruited - Tips and Tales From International Teachers in the USA a must-read for any teacher who needs a "heads-up" on the things that recruiters, school districts, or supervisors won't tell them, but that they are expected to know anyway. For some teachers, Recruited - Tips and Tales From International Teachers in the USA could be the difference between their success or failure in a new culture.
