Shanghai United International School has a poor reputation for treating its foreign teachers poorly; from Induction through to the end of the year. As they are the front line contact for students and their families, teaching and learning cannot produce positive results when teachers haven't got the proper support. It is unfortunate this school administration and office staff cannot see the importance of support. They do have a new Intl. principal this year, yet school culture in the Chinese Administration cannot change that quickly so I suspect there shall be issues still to come. The administration needs to manage effectively so faculty will gain trust and together in a trusting working relationship is a MUST!
