Since several people seemed interested, I thought I would post some information on teaching as a K-12 teacher in international schools. [The Department of Defense (DOD) Schools are a completely different system.]
TIE on-line has a schedule that lists the recruiting fairs that are used by American International schools. My experience has been with the UNI fair.
The University of Northern Iowa job fair is held in February every year. You apply to participate well in advance, create a portfolio for adminstrators, and then do all of your face to face interviewing at the fair. UNI is known as a good fair for beginning international teachers. Having said that, most schools require 3-5 years of teaching expeirence in the States and/or a master's to be hired. If you have international experience, can speak the host country language, etc., this will also help. These schools care about the quality of education, but they also need people who are flexible!
I had a great time at AIS-Mali and AIS-Vienna. Particularly since you don't have to pay taxes if you are not a U.S. resident, your take home salary is typically higher than what you would make in the States.
Let me know if you have questions!
