New to International Teaching with Jess Gosling
This site is for those interested in teaching abroad, as well as showcasing my work as an international teacher.

If you do read it please add your review. Thanks so much.
I’m proud to say I now have an author page! It contains a little bio plus another place for this blog to be seen. Very exciting and still a surreal experience. I had a director from a recruitment company mentioned in my book tell me today he had purchased it. He said it was good, and it was the book he was always going to write. A member from my Facebook also commented that it had a lot of helpful information. These two mentions plus 5 star reviews on GoodReads are a big boost to me! I’m glad it’s beginning to be shared.
The lovely folk at #Teacheroo have just published my blog about why I was motivated to write the guide, Becoming a Successful International Teacher. If you are interested, give it a read!

If you didn’t catch my interview with Kathy Brodie, where I discuss the (mainly) the advantages and disadvantages of teaching abroad, as well as working with young EAL learners, here is the direct link:
I’m excited to be partaking in the FOBISIA online EJaws for Early Years Language, Communication and Literacy at The International School @ ParkCity this Friday. This is my second FOBISIA EJaws for Early Years I have attended, so I am really looking forward to networking and making new connections.
However, this time I am presenting a webinar! I will speak about using focus groups to drive forward teaching and learning and how to best support English Language Learners. If you would like to read the summary of our focus group findings then head to my new Research page.
I wanted to share this link as the resources are fantastic for parents with children or those of us teaching young children.
The company is thinkequal.org. Right now they offer free resources to teach Personal/Social/Emotion learning to young kids, I think the resources could work all the way through Primary school age.
Especially useful are the 6 weeks plans/activities you can download for free. Each week has its own PDF book. Week 6 has a book based on the coronavirus, entitled something like ‘Seeing Rainbows’. If you have anxious children right now this book is really clear and honest, not scary at all.
I shared it with my daughter today and I really like the ending when the world has returned to normal, as I just don’t think kids can envision this right now.
The organization is not for profit and offering all of the 6 weeks (books and ideas) for free as they are just, well, excellent people. If you like it, you can donate.
A fabulous organization.
I’m excited to add my first ever podcast to this page. In this podcast I discuss teaching abroad and outdoor learning in international schools. It was lovely to talk to Sarah Seaman, the fab business owner of Muddy Puddle Teachers.
