The "NEWBIES"

The newest group of teachers are affectionately referred to as the 'newbies'. There are 11 of us.

Two from Canada. Myself, straight from Alberta, Dan is from Toronto but is here by way of Kuwait. Four come from Turkey; Lisa is originally from the US and Glen and Pinar are from New Zealand, Melissa is actually from Turkey. Eric is from Mexico but taught in New York before coming here. Sue is from the US but has come here from Saudi Arabia. John is from Washington state. And Tito and Michelle are from Florida but came here after four years in Tunisia (and actually, Tito is originally from India).
