British Teacher seeking advice.
I'm a teacher living and working in England, I've done some research into moving to the States and I know that Texas employed more foreign teachers than any other state. Does anyone have experience of pursuing a teaching career in Texas. I know I have to have my qualifications authenticated and I believe I have to sit a state exam, but I'm not sure which and when they do them. I want to come over for 6 weeks in November to do all this.
Failing that I would consider buying a small business. Does anyone have information on this process? How many US employees to I have to employ, Do I have to have a certain amount of money in a business account, etc? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks Mark |

Re: British Teacher seeking advice.
Check out British Schools of America. They have schools in many cities including New York, Chicago, Charlotte. A former colleague of mine worked in the Chicago school. The starting salary is quite low, around $30000 (that was a few years ago and may be higher now) but there are many allowances on top of this including a rent allowance, dependents allowance etc which compensates. If you successfully secured a post with them they take care of all visa requirements including getting a work visa for your other half if you have one and you get health insurance and some other benefits.
