Welcome New Pyeongtaek Teachers!

As we roll into March it's time to begin a new school year and welcome lots of new teachers to the area. Pyeongtaek is big and spread out with lots of rural placements so teachers can often feel unconnected and lonely. Don't worry, you don't have to be. There is quite a bit going on and plenty of people to meet. We are also always trying to gather information and make life easier for you. The first step to getting connected it joining us at one of the (usually) monthly socials.

Our first Meetup will be Friday March 16th starting @ 6:30pm

Why we do this:

We made the app to accompany the blog because it's easier to keep update with current information. In the past we've tried keeping the information on the blog but it's too hard for us to maintain the information in two places at once over time. Since we compile and write blogs around a full time jobs without compensation, we need to do it the most efficient way possible with as few steps as possible.
