Book Description
The concept of Third Culture Kids (TCKs), children who follow their globetrotting parents around the world, is not a new one and has been widely studied. However, there is one specific group of TCKs who have, until now, been largely ignored - EdKids, the children of international school educators. In this new work, Dr Ettie Zilber brings together all the material she has collected over many years of research on this unique group and allows them to voice their own opinions, feelings and stories for the first time. Spanning a long career in education, Dr Ettie Zilber has served at international schools and other educational centers in the US, Israel, Singapore, Spain, Guatemala and China, served on the boards of ECIS and AISH, presented and published on cross-cultural themes and served as an Adjunct Professor for Lehigh University and Endicott College, teaching courses in Comparative Education and Intercultural Communication.

Book Description
Over the last decade, many local students have preferred to study overseas. This has caused governments to announce the creation of programs and developments in the higher education sector to upgrade South-East Asia to a leading education hub. Moreover, many governments declared that they would work on the insurance of learning to increase the quality of the degrees and the teaching itself. This has led many to question the results of these declarations. Higher Education Challenges in South-East Asia provides an overview of what has been happening over the last ten years in higher education in South-East Asia. It also works to solve the challenges in modern education such as the impacts of digitalization, globalization, and Generation Y and Z learning styles. Covering topics that include globalization, educational technologies, and comparative teaching, this book impacts academic institutions, policymakers, government officials, university and college administrators and leaders, academicians, researchers, and students.

Book Description
As the demand for international schools in Asia has grown, so too has the need for expatriate educators. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to examine the job satisfaction levels among expatriate educators employed at international schools within Asia, to identify the factors associated with increased satisfaction, to offer recommendations on increasing their job satisfaction, and to add to the current literature in this field of study. In this quantitative study, the researcher used Spector’s (1997) Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) as a measuring instrument to assess nine subscales divided between intrinsic motivation (contingent rewards, coworkers, nature of work, communication) and extrinsic motivation (pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefits, operating conditions). With the data collected, the researcher of this study sought to answer whether significant differences exist among expatriate educators at international schools in Asia when groups are established by gender, age, education level, salary, years of experience, or the number of international schools taught at based on motivation factors and the subscale score of the survey. Overall, when considering intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, the data revealed no significant differences and that the null hypothesis was not rejected for the independent variables gender, age, education level, salary, years of experience, or the number of home-country schools where an educator worked. The findings of this research reveal that expatriate educators at international schools in Asia are motivated more by intrinsic factors than extrinsic factors. These findings support the results of comparable studies conducted by McNeill (2016), Cui-Callahan (2012), and Bumgartner (2013). The data revealed that the intrinsic dependent variables such as Nature of Work (19.41) and Coworkers (16.81) scored the highest mean score among respondents. The lowest scoring motivators were both extrinsic: Operating Conditions (12.73) and Promotion (13.04). Of the 12 independent variables studied, it was found that comfort of living level and tier level of schools had significant effects on intrinsic motivators, while salary, comfort of living level, and number of home country schools taught had significant effects on extrinsic motivation.
