Thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. We are Brady and Jeanette Cline, international educators from the United States. Over the last nine years we have had the chance to work in excellent schools, which have challenged us to develop greatly as professionals. We have worked at a variety of different types of schools from progressive IB/PYP schools to the more traditional. In each case we have strived to learn from those around us, incorporating their best practices and sharing our own expertise in whatever ways we can. International teaching has provided us many wonderful adventures and blessings, not the least of which is the blessing of seeing the smile on a child's face and knowing we put it there.
We both had successful careers before becoming teachers, and we believe this has given us a good perspective on what it means to be a professional. In addition to our successes in the classroom, we both have been very active in extra-curricular activities, committees, and coaching. Additionally, school administrators have singled us out to provide leadership in several areas, including curriculum development, professional development workshops, and technology implementation. Following continual encouragement from faculty and administration alike, Brady is considering a move into more formal leadership positions.
Brady and Jeanette are currently enjoying a one-year sabbatical in Hawaii. Although quite idyllic, they are keeping busy: Jeanette is working on her masters degree in intercultural relations and Brady is finishing his M.Ed thesis. They both work part-time at the local university where Brady is launching a mobile computer testing program, and Jeanette is helping out with their fledgling ESL program. In their remaining time, Brady does freelance photography and graphic design, and Jeanette writes.
In addition to being a fully qualified, experienced teachers, Brady & Jeanette both have varied specialties.

After studying psychology and journalism, Brady began working for a mid-sized internet company in Orange County. After gaining notice from the CEO, he went on to lead a small department of graphic design and web developers. After several years of management and travel for international sales calls, he began to re-evaluate his career. On the eve of yet another promotion, resigned; one week later he left to Honduras for his first teaching experience.

Dear Mr. Cline,
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for
Maggie's lovely report card. I think it is perhaps one of the most thoughtful
and thorough reports I have ever received. I can only guess how long it
must take to put such effort into each one. Please know that we very much
appreciate it.
You are a fabulous teacher and obviously committed
to ensuring the best comes out in your students.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Maureen and Ken Campbell
If a picture says a thousand words, than how many words does a video say? Well in the case of this one, not that much, but we do hope it will help you to get to know us a bit better.
Watch Video. . .Their are many wonderful international schools all over the world. Unfortunately, they don't all have the same hiring practices and do not attend the same job fairs. We hope to have the opportunity to interview face-to-face with interested schools, but would like to also avail ourselves to the power of technology. We are available for web conferences and can provide many resources to help interested schools get to know us and our teaching practices better.
