Kent is an international educator, business owner and the author of Teaching OverseasIn this episode, we talk about:how to get international school jobs,the joys and trials of changing schools and jobs with each post,how the people make all the difference. This episode is for all who wonder how you move on from your current level of success and find something new. How does Kent describe himself?I knew I wanted to teach U.S. history when taking a class called America Since 1945 in my high school outside of Chicago. After earning degrees in History and Secondary Social Studies Education from Miami University I began teaching in North Carolina. Another dream of mine came to fruition when I joined the Peace Corps in 2003. I served in El Sauce, Nicaragua. That’s when I learned about International Teaching. I ended my service a few months early so I could teach at the American Nicaraguan School in Managua, the capital.Since then, I’ve lived in seven countries, taught at the American school in each one, married the love of my life, had two children, one dog, earned a Master’s and Ph.D., written a book on teaching overseas, completed an Ironman Triathlon, and visited over 50 countries around the world.I really wanted to get back to teaching U.S. History while overseas. I decided to start working on a way to use my experience as an educator to provide U.S. History courses to Americans living outside the United States. This turned into U.S. History for Expats.LinksUS History for Expats2016 Edition of Teaching Overseas, new edition to be released later in 2022
