ABU DHABI TEACHING POSITIONS

Dear NMU graduates,

Below are emails forwarded to us from Marlene Horton who is currently teaching in Abu Dhabi. Marlene taught in Marquette and Calumet and has been a strong advocate of NMU’s Teacher Education Program. Please feel free to contact her if you feel this opportunity to teach abroad is a good fit for you.

Sincerely,

Joe Lubig, Ed.D.

Director of Field Experiences

Northern Michigan University

I know the posting below says the preference is one or two years of experience, but the truth is that they need hundreds (roughly 4 or 5 hundred) of these teachers. If you or your colleagues have any interested students, you are more than welcome to give them my name and email and I can advise these students from here.

In terms of figuring out the salary, the dirham is pegged to the US dollar and $1 = 3.65 (roughly) dirhams. So 12,000dhs/month is roughly $3,300 per month.

My email is
