Hello,
I just have question regarding licensing. I have been issued an Initial Educator License for a validity period of five years. I've been living in South Korea for two years now, working through a government-run, teaching Englihs program. However, I believe the program doesn't offer me any accreditation toward my teaching license. I am curious, if the teaching opportunities abroad through this recruitment  will offer me professional development and accreditation.

Thank you.

    Hi Deanna,

    I checked your profile and it seems you have received your certificate from the US. If you have a teaching license, you can apply to teaching jobs that require one. Depending on the school and position, you can see if the curriculum is US based, and that should help you with your professional development. Once you are a candidate of interest and a placement coordinator has reached out to you for a prescreen, please let them know your situation and they will be able to connect you with a position that will be best for you to develop professionally.

    Hope that helps,
    Janice
