    Education Assistants at International Schools, expected pay?

    What is the average monthly pay for an EA at an international school. Have CELTYL, but no PGDE, but many years of experience.
    Been made an offer of $11,000, but think it is too low

    General classroom assistant are in the 10-15K range and it's not the kind of job where you can negotiate your salary/package. Schools have their salary grids and they don't usually have too much trouble filling positions unless it requires specific knowledge(like languages for example). Some even hire their graduating students wanting to take a gap year...

    Teachers face the same thing, ESF faculty gets almost twice as much as Korean International school staff for example.
