Finally, the end is near. June 2004 will be the end of Jodi and Sean�s contracts at Ko� School. Where they will end up next is open to speculation.
When they first accepted jobs with Ko�, little did they imagine that they�d wind up staying for so long. Originally, the plan had been to stay for 2, maybe 3 years. But the high standard of living, the comfortable and family-friendly living arrangements and the light workload all combined to make our young family stay another year, then another, and finally another.
What does all this mean? Well, every year around this time the international teaching community begins its annual run of job fairs. It was at one of these in Boston over the Valentine�s Day weekend in �99 that Jodi and Sean were interviewed by the headmaster of Ko� School.
Later this year the Morans will begin contacting friends and associates at schools around the world to see if there are any openings and, if something looks particularly promising, maybe even visit potential schools. Hopefully, they�ll be able to avoid having to go to a job fair. Friends who�ve returned from this year�s job fairs will be heading to Beijing, Moscow , and Prague. It will be interesting to see what they think of the schools after one year.
The one area our duo has their eyes on is the far east, namely China or Thailand. Watch this space for future updates! |
