Hello!

 

I am going to teach science in shanghai next year, and I was wondering if there is a community of foreigners teaching science technology math or physics in shanghai? maybe a wechat group, or something else?

have a lot of questions.

 

Cheers

I am not, but it would be helpful to know if you will teach at a Chinese school in Chinese or in English language or at an international school in English language.

International school in english language

Hey Louispaul,

 

There are lots of folks in your situation as there are lots of schools. As to whether there's a formalized group that talks and shares resources, that is a good question. I know there is a group of school/college counselors that meets and shares resources. I was just talking with a friend of mine who lives in Shanghai about this. I think it's less likely that science teachers would do that outside their schools, but it's possible. I don't get the feeling that there are too many international teachers on this forum as so few study Chinese. 

I'm a school counselor at an international school and I'm considering a position up there next year.

Are you wondering about living in Shanghai in general or do you have specific questions about teaching science in Shanghai?
