  • Leadership and Onboarding - Dr. Liam Hammer in Zimbabwe

    Leadership and Onboarding - Dr. Liam Hammer in Zimbabwe
    Aug 9 2025

    Dr. Liam Hammer, Head of School in Zambia, joins us live from an orientation dinner. Liam shares his fascinating journey from a teenage dream of teaching in remote Papua New Guinea to leadership roles across five countries. The conversation explores the essential role of onboarding in teacher retention, the reality of navigating cultural norms, and the often-overlooked salary disparities in international schools—what Liam terms “passportism.” He also dives into his academic work, including publishing research on leadership, special needs, and equity in international education. With wit and humility, Liam discusses balancing multiple hats as a school leader, the evolving nature of international schools, and the powerful draw of teaching abroad. His candid insights, stories of immigration mishaps, and deep passion for educational equity make this episode both eye-opening and inspiring for aspiring and seasoned international educators alike.

    The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education. New Teachers, burned out local teachers, local School Leaders, International school Leadership, current Overseas Teachers, and everyone interested in international schools can benefit from hearing stories and advice about living and teaching overseas.
