I have been working with technology for twenty years, but I most appreciate working in international education.  I enjoy being able to support administrators, teachers and students technologically. 

My extensive and varied background has been a critical factor for my success with the broad requirements of this role.  I specialize in designing and implementing technological upgrades and new development projects. 

The field of technology is always changing.  I strive to keep current and can work in both PC and Macintosh environments.  Perhaps most importantly, I understand and am used to the challenges that can confront technological development in international settings.

I couldn’t believe it when I learned there were jobs combining my passions, teaching and travel.  Three years in Mali have confirmed this is the life we were meant to lead!  I appreciate most the diversity of my international students. 

Through eighteen years teaching, I have developed strong skills in a variety of instructional approaches in order to individualize instruction and meet the needs of all learners, critical in an international classroom. 

Outside school, challenges are easily viewed as part of the grand overseas adventure.  The big world is calling.  I know that we can thrive, and contribute positively, anywhere.

A mind, stretched in a new direction, never returns to its original shape.

We have spent three years in Bamako, Mali and realize that the international school system is our niche! Our understanding of the world has been stretched and we are eager to continue to work where we can offer an attitude of respect for cultural diversity.

We both are passionate about working in education and have developed and refined our professional skills for many years. Matt is a Technology Coordinator with a great breadth of experience and Betsy is an Elementary Teacher with 18 years experience at the primary level. We love to travel, but more importantly, share a commitment to actually becoming a part of other cultures and learning from them.

We value lifelong learning and enjoy challenges. We offer skill, enthusiasm, dedication, the wisdom of maturity, and flexible, easy going temperaments. We hope to gain broadened perspectives and a sense of world contribution as well as fulfilling lifelong desires to experience the marvelously diverse cultures and lands of our planet, while continuing in the careers we love.

Excerpts for Matt:

His combination of openness and expertise is a rare one, which greatly benefits a school where technology is embedded in the curriculum.  While Matt did not offer direct instruction, he did create an excellent environment for learning in the computer lab.  (previous director)

We had several people try that position before Matt came to us, and none of them had the qualities needed to be successful.  We welcomed not only his technological expertise, but also his adaptability, commitment, communication skills, resilience, desire to be a team player, the list goes on and on!     (teacher)

… displays a strong work ethic.  …regularly arrives early or stays beyond his contracted time to complete projects or take on additional tasks.  … shows great pride in his work which is flawless and impeccably completed.  … is a highly capable individual who will do well in whatever he sets out to accomplish. (previous technology coordinator supervisor)

Excerpts for Betsy:

The brief version of my recommendation is that Mrs. Greenway is one of the two most talented, effective, and child-centered teachers with whom I have worked in my career.  If you have the opportunity to hire her, students will definitely benefit.  (previous director)

… privilege to work with Betsy both as a parent and as a colleague.  Betsy is an inspiring educator who motivates students and teachers alike to seek excellence and creativity in education.  Her classroom is always a place of active learning as she provides an environment that supports individual growth.  (parent and colleague)

Her students are unusually well engaged in the exciting activities of her class.  Whenever I walk into her room, I am struck with the stimulating environment of her well directed class.  Students are contented, harmonious and well focused on their lesson.  It is always such a pleasure to see.  (parent and colleague)
