Jess Gosling

International teacher, author of 'Becoming a Successful International Teacher' and creator of 'New to International Schools Teachers' page and group

I was trained in the UK and have taught in 5 countries over a career of more than 10 years. My passion has remained within the Early Years, as I am an advocate for the pedagogy of child-led, play-based learning throughout childhood. I have worked in the UK and internationally with young EAL learners and have published for the Times Educational Supplement and am currently working on my second action research project. I love international teaching so much that I have set up several platforms to support others. I have just authored my first book to support international teachers, 'Becoming a Successful International Teacher', available worldwide through Amazon.
