Entry-Level English Teacher
Resume:
RICK DUFF
I am looking for a teaching job or entry-level education administration position. I am unexpectedly back from teaching English in Asia, and looking for work while I finish certifications and licenses. I currently have an M.ed. in ESOL. Iʼm all about multiculturalism and creating learning experiences that unite people from different cultures. I see teachers and students as active participants, working together to create knowledge. I love diving into local cultures, chatting with people, and exchanging perspectives. This helps me find common ground and appreciate the richness of different cultural heritages. Itʼs all about building bridges and fostering mutual understanding. This approach has helped students develop global competence and a deep appreciation for diversity.
