Teacher of 8 yrs moving to Bogota in June

Hello...I would like specific recommendations of Pre-K through sixth grade schools where I could teach in English. I would greatly appreciate any information if anyone has names of schools, web-sites, people to contact, or information about upcoming Job Fairs.

I am moving to Bogota June of 2006. I am a certified elementary school teacher.

Any other advice is extremely welcome.

Thank you,
Tessa

There's two BIG job fair.. in the US in Feb or Mar, one's in Iowa(UofIowa IRC) the other is in Cambridge, MA. I recommend doing a google search for the info. This is a job fair for INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS around the world. Several are in COL, i think one's even in BOG. With your qualification, you should be able to go the fair and find a job. The advantage of this versus teaching english is you get paid ALOT more. Regular teachers at these school make around $2000 USD a month(plus housing and other perks) versus teaching english that gets about $700-1000USD/month.

Good luck!
