<\/span><\/span>Many schools reviewed on the ISR web site fail to live up to the\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0for International Educators. Yet, the recruiting agencies we contacted, along with the Task Force charged with solving the teaching candidate shortage, all failed to endorse this document. We can only speculate why.\u00a0Learn more<\/span><\/a>

\nSchools that withhold salaries, switch contract terms, substitute poor housing for promised housing, fail to reimburse travel and shipping allowances, renege on health insurance and engage in other dishonest practices are not acceptable schools to work at by any stretch of the imagination.<\/p>\n

Such schools should be brought into compliance by the major recruiters or not allowed to recruit through their venues. We had hoped the\u00a0Bill of Rights<\/em>\u00a0would be adopted by recruiters for just this purpose. After-all, the\u00a0Bill of Rights<\/em>\u00a0was created by international educators to meet the needs of all educators working abroad.<\/p>\n

As a community of international educators, we can effect a change even if recruiters continue allowing abusive schools to recruit through their venues .\u00a0Please take a minute and review the tenets of the\u00a0Bill of Rights. If you believe schools should guarantee these basic rights to its teaching staff, copy and paste the link below into\u00a0an email and send it to an international school director you would like to see endorse the\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0for international educators.<\/p>\n
