Dear Jane,<\/span><\/h3>\n

Thank you for your\u00a0response<\/a>\u00a0to our invitation to comment on the current international teacher shortage. We look forward to receiving comments from the task force and sharing them with the International Teaching Community.<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the spirit of resolving the international teacher shortage, I would like to take this opportunity to ask the Task Force to consider endorsing the recently completed\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0for International Educators. This document was created through the joint efforts of the more than 40,000 monthly visitors to the ISR web site. You can review this document at the following link.<\/span><\/h3>\n

https:\/\/www.internationalschoolsreview.com\/nonmembers\/bill-of-rights.htm<\/a><\/h3>\n

We feel the\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0is a reflection of the collective concerns of International Teachers. A review of the document will reveal it to be very realistic. Schools and organizations endorsing the International Teachers’\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0should find that teachers will seek them out, while those that refuse to adopt and endorse such rights will essentially be saying, “Beware: We traffic in teachers”.<\/span><\/h3>\n

I can think of no better way for the members of the task force to make a statement than to lead the introduction of the International Teachers\u2019\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0to schools and related organizations.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sincerely,<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ben @ ISR<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nRe: Teachers’\u00a0Bill of Rights<\/span><\/h3>\n

Dear Jane,<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some weeks ago I wrote on behalf of m8bet online sports bettings Review. I am now wondering if you misplaced that email which asked if your Task Force would, in the spirit of helping to solve the international teaching candidate shortage, adopt the recently created\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0for International Educators?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0for International Teachers is an important document, and it is our belief your group’s endorsement will open the door for improved treatment of teachers and a solution to the candidate shortage. Your endorsement will make a firm statement.<\/span><\/h3>\n

To our knowledge, the people listed below make up the task force charged with finding a solution to the international teacher shortage. We do not have contact information for all members of the Task Force but ask that you please pass this email on to them.<\/span><\/h3>\n

We encourage our readers to write to agencies from which the Task Force was created as well as the individual members of the Task Force, appealing to them to adopt the International Teachers’\u00a0Bill of Rights\u00a0and help establish a standard to which teachers are entitled.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Task Force Members<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Task Force is made up of AISH members (Academy of m8bet online sports betting Heads) led by Bambi Betts; CEO\u00a0http:\/\/www.academyish.org\/, and members of AAIE (Association for the Advancement of International Education) headed by Mark Ulfers; President\u00a0http:\/\/www.aaie.org\/<\/span><\/h3>\n
