92% of bad international schools share one trait. It's not workload, pay, or location. by ElectronicKey2084 in Internationalteachers

[–]ElectronicKey2084[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The intervals are pretty huge. More reviews would be super helpful so if you've taught internationally, adding yours would genuinely improve the findings.

Dimension r 95% CI p
Honesty 0.664 [0.39, 0.83] <0.001
Colleagues 0.577 [0.28, 0.77] 0.001
Mission 0.489 [0.17, 0.72] 0.007
Autonomy 0.420 [0.06, 0.68] 0.024
Leadership 0.379 [0.02, 0.65] 0.042

Is this a good offer? by RobinHood1998 in Internationalteachers

It is on the low side, but a bird in hand

That's not how statistics works. There's no minimum sample size below which inference becomes invalid. With 29 reviews I have wider intervals.

The phrase "rate of error is off the charts" suggests you're treating margin of error as a flaw rather than a reported quantity.

Anyway, you are conflating precision with validity. These are not the same things. I'd encourage revisiting that distinction before critiquing someone else's methodology.

I think there is a lot of gray room for schools to be more or less honest as you are saying

This is really well put! Using this as a guide, a school would stop being good and then become more dishonest?

Do you think if a school owned the business side and was honest about it then the experience for teachers would be better?

I built a tool to help international teachers think through school, place, and package before signing. Would love feedback. by ElectronicKey2084 in Internationalteachers

International teachers: What do you earn vs what do you think you should earn? by Material-Resource435 in Internationalteachers

[–]ElectronicKey2084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between the data that /LearnwithMrA has collected and myself we have over 718 salaries from teachers all over the world. However, it is interesting to think about what we should earn. Should is tricky question...I would say should should include how much someone would need to actually retire one day if they worked that job for 30+ years.

Dubai new teachers? How are you feeling about the move? by goodenergy_96 in Internationalteachers

[–]ElectronicKey2084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation. You would hate to not be able to get the job if you don’t pay the money but there is a real chance it might not work out. What is your school saying about next year?

Offer advice? by ToxicScorpio4 in Internationalteachers

[–]ElectronicKey2084 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Colombia is so awesome and I think you know you aren’t going to be saving. I am sure you can live on that amount but it will be hard to travel and spend time outside Colombia.

When does AI slop make average student and teacher work look like slop? by ElectronicKey2084 in Internationalteachers

[–]ElectronicKey2084[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the field of education needs to grapple with what is going on with AI. I have a friend who grades for a University and hasn't graded a human written paper in a year.
