About this Blog
Who’s this Blog For?
This is a blog primarily for (but not limited to) travellin’ teachers, and those teachers living vicariously through our experiences abroad.
If you trust in the educative value of international experiences, you can build your skill repertoire by teaching and travelling with Leading Out. We have an ever-growing network of schools around the world looking for energetic, enthusiastic teachers like you. This blog is just another free resource Leading Out provides to teachers; afterall, education is about sharing.
What’s this Blog For?
The purpose of this blog is to help teachers make informed decisions about teaching overseas. I’m using my experience to provide “nuggets of truth” about travelling, teaching and ways to avoid “teacher burnout”–from quick and healthy weeknight recipes to brain stimulation.
Who Writes this blog?
My name is Alysha, and I’m a Canadian ex-pat teaching and travelling in Australia. After graduating from my “Teacher Education Program” in Canada, I left Ontario to travel and teach abroad in 2006.
My partner and I found it a little tricky getting to “Oz”. Since we’re teachers, we tend to be fixated on helping others have educative experiences.
So, we created ”Leading Out“, a company that would be an “education and travel network”. At a conference I attended, someone said,
“international education just might save the world”.
That stuck in our heads.
The network is about getting together and sharing ideas to improve our world. If that sounds too ambitious to you, think of the influence other teaching projects have had: Freedom Writers, aluminum tab collectors and “free the children” …
So What is Leading Out?
Leading Out is about helping others know how and where to start traveling and teaching. The Network is about sharing knowledge internationally.
It’s a teaching company that takes pride in your success.
“Professional, reliable services are important if you want to come to teach in Australia; like you, we understand the importance of a reliable recruiting company when you embark on your teaching adventure.”
- Leading Out Managing Director
Leading Out assists with employment options including CRT work, holiday programs, tutoring and full-time contracts. We can assist with positions around the world (Australia, South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, the UK and more).
