Who Teacherhood Serves:
Strategic Support for the Global Educator
Teacherhood provides ethical, research-informed advisory services for immigrant teachers navigating high-stakes professional decisions. Our work is designed to build clarity, reduce systemic risk, and restore your professional agency.
Teacherhood supports immigrant teachers at two key points in their journey:
1. Teachers already in the United States
Educators currently in the U.S. on J-1, H-1B, or other employment-related visas who are navigating certification, contracts, workplace culture, or professional transitions.
2. Teachers considering migration to the United States
Educators, particularly those based in the Philippines and other countries, who are exploring the possibility of teaching in the U.S. and want an honest, ethical understanding of risks, pathways, and realities before making major financial or life decisions.
🧭 The Navigation Session
30-Minute Virtual Advisory | For educators currently in the United States
This high-impact session is designed for educators already teaching in the U.S. (J-1, H-1B, or other visas) who find themselves navigating opaque institutional systems or complex workplace dynamics. We help you decode the "hidden rules" of your environment so you can move forward with confidence.
-
Contract Clarity: Understanding professional obligations and identifying potential power imbalances.
Systemic Decoding: Interpreting U.S. school culture, communication norms, and institutional expectations.
Risk Assessment: Identifying ethical red flags and safeguarding against systemic vulnerabilities.
Strategic Planning: Clarifying certification pathways and realistic next steps.

Designed to fit into school breaks or after-work hours.
🧳 The Pre-Migration Consultation
45-Minute Strategic Due Diligence | For educators outside the United States
This session is for educators—particularly those in the Philippines—considering a transition to the United States. Before you commit your time, finances, or future to a recruitment agency, we provide a neutral, research-backed "reality check" that agencies often omit.
-
Recruitment Audit: Analyzing the models and ethics of agencies you are currently engaging with.
Financial & Professional Risks: Uncovering the true costs and potential limitations of specific pathways.
Visa Realities: Addressing misconceptions and understanding the legal constraints of your transition.
Decision Integrity: Building clarity before signing binding contracts or making non-refundable payments.
⚠️ Note: This is not a recruitment service. This session does not promote migration; it prioritizes your informed decision-making.
-
Limited slots available. Book when you're ready with specific questions.
