Stop dreaming about teaching or leading abroad—and start living it.

You dream of traveling the world, experiencing new cultures, and having a rewarding global career in education. With over 14,000 international schools, educators have opportunities across subject areas and career stages, from kindergarten through university. You want a clear path forward—one that shows you how to find quality jobs, position yourself to stand out to recruiters, and evaluate offers with confidence.

In Teach or Lead Abroad, veteran international school leader and recruiter Kelley Ridings provides practical, step-by-step guidance to help you organize your search, understand global benefits, and transition smoothly to a fulfilling global career.

Without a clear approach that only insider guidance can provide, many educators feel overwhelmed by unfamiliar hiring systems, the uncertainty of relocating abroad, and the task of determining which schools truly align with their goals. International opportunities remain dreams rather than destinations.

Teach or Lead Abroad gives you the clarity, confidence, and insider guidance to turn global opportunities into real job offers. Stop wondering if an international career is possible—and start building the life and work you’ve been dreaming about today.
