Teaching Beyond Borders with David Wilson

Send us Fan MailDavid Wilson didn’t plan to become a teacher. In fact, his first teaching experience happened by chance when a friend asked him to cover a physics class. What started as a temporary substitute role quickly became a lifelong calling. Since then, David’s journey has taken him from Ghana to Vietnam and now to Jakarta, Indonesia, where he teaches science and biology at an international school. Along the way, he has embraced the power of perseverance, optimism, and being different. In this episode, David shares pivotal moments from his teaching career — how he discovered the way he could connect to students during his very first week, what it felt like to be the first Black teacher at his school in Vietnam, and why he’s passionate about equipping students and teachers with technological skills that will shape their futures. Get your free copy of The K-12 Teacher's Guide to Saving Time While Lesson Planning! Download for free here ➡️ https://teach.moreland.edu/save-time-lesson-planning-guide Moreland University can help you create the teaching career of your dreams. Get your U.S. teaching license in as little as 9 months Earn a master's degree in 12 months Keep growing with professional developmentLearn more at moreland.eduThanks for listening to Front of the Class: Real Stories From Real Educators. Keep the conversation going with us on social: Instagram: @frontoftheclass.podcastTikTok: @frontoftheclass.podcastWant to jumpstart or grow your teaching career? Moreland University's 100% online TEACH-NOW Teacher Preparation Certificate Program can help you get certified in as little as 9 months.
