Ep 19: Why Does Student Behavior Feel Different Abroad?

Why does student behavior abroad feel so familiar yet so hard to manage at the same time? In this episode, we dig into one of the most common shocks of international teaching and parenting. We explore why behavior in international schools is so often misread, how culture and mobility quietly shape classroom dynamics, and why systems matter more than geography. Drawing from our own experiences and what we consistently see across regions, we reflect on what actually helps teachers and schools respond more effectively. This conversation is part of our International Files series, where we unpack the systems and realities of international life, moving, and working abroad. As Trisha & Brandi, we share what we wish more educators and parents understood before moving abroad as a teacher or enrolling children in an international school. Inside the episode: ● Why familiar behavior can have completely different meanings abroad ● How culture influences communication, respect, and classroom expectations ● The impact of student mobility on behavior and emotional load ● Common behavior patterns teachers see in international schools ● Why inconsistency and leadership follow through shape classroom culture ● How mislabeling behavior creates frustration for teachers and families ● What explicit teaching of expectations really looks like in global schools Whether you are navigating job changes abroad, supporting your child in a new school, or building confidence as part of an international school teacher community, this episode offers grounded perspective and practical reflection for international educators and parents alike Links & Resources 📞Book a consultation with us!
