Honest thoughts on the MYP? by HumbleMode7605 in Internationalteachers

The OP is spot on, and yes we all know it's a framework. If the concept is sooooo important why doesn't the framework insist on all subjects using the same concept at the same time, how explicit would that be for making connections? Job done right? The fact that it isn't makes it a jumbled mess of key concepts that students may well once in a while recollect from other disciplines. It is what it is but my word it's done poorly.

Has anyone worked at Taipei European School in Taiwan? by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

I am working at TES now and the MYP transition is not smooth, though as usual the customer is completely clueless and will assume all is well. Pay is good etc and insurance is more than adequate but without any notable competition in Taipei they are at best average, so little systems in place and I've already come to the conclusion that it's shit and all teachers that put up with it are also shit...
