Description
Introduction In times and places of persistent teacher shortages, foreign teachers and migrants with teaching qualifications have been sought to fill teacher vacancies. International recruitment campaigns appeal to teachers seeking opportunities for adventure in unique locations and different climates with financial incentives. Migrants with teaching qualifications are offered opportunities to re-establish their careers and improve their financial stability in their new country, but the experiences of these teachers and the quality of their working lives are poorly researched. This paper reports the experiences of imported and overseas-qualified teachers commencing in 'difficult-to-staff ' rural and remote Western Australian schools. These findings result from a broader study also investigating the experiences of interstate and novice teachers.
