<\/span><\/div><\/div>Teaching Abroad-
\nMoving On is a Difficult Road to Walk<\/h1><\/h1><\/div>by Dr. Barbara Spilchuk<\/h3><\/h3><\/div>Dr. Spilchuk offers free advice to international teachers on how to avoid or navigate through legal situations.

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Self-preservation often takes precedence over duty and obligation in teacher relationships<\/span><\/strong> and it would be wise for teachers thinking about teaching abroad to understand this. I think this is the key difference I have found between teaching at home and teaching overseas. Perhaps our international relationships are not as deeply rooted in longevity. Perhaps situations seem more dangerous because we are far away from the safety of our homes and so we enter the self-preservation mode more quickly and are able to turn a blind eye to fairness and justice issues more easily.<\/p>\n
For whatever reason, international teachers on the international scene should remember that when making an ethical decision, they must do so because it is what they alone can live with. Do not expect others to support you. The world is a big place; that\u2019s why you went abroad. The chances of you meeting the teachers you worked with at an international school again are slim. As such, there are no personal long-term connections and commitments that exist that will force others to support your moral perspective. After you go, there is always someone else to take your place. International school organizations have revolving doors with teachers going in and teachers coming out.<\/p>\n
Each international teaching experience I have had has been memorable, often because of the stories I have lived. Sometimes it has been those stories of injustice and conflict that have helped me to .build my .strongest bonds with other teachers I have met along the way. Many of those bonds remain across space, place and time. As I sit here recalling the many international experiences I have had, I am amazed to discover that it is those very few close relationships created during times of extreme conflict regarding ethical decision-making that seem to have made the journey most worthwhile. I believe that strong feelings between people often lead us towards stronger commitments to each other, and when all is said and done, I have found that it is the relationships I have come away with from my international school experiences that are the most important treasures I am left with.
