International Supply Teachers (IST) is dedicated to providing one service only - quality emergency supply/substitute teachers for reputable international schools. Although a new concept in international education circles,s the establishment of IST is a logical progression in the careers of its two Directors - Lynette Fisher and Jenni Bricknell.
As an ECIS member, IST exhibits regularly at major ECIS events. These conferences are your best chance of meeting Jenni Bricknell and Lynette Fisher together. They both love traveling so are usually traveling or living overseas. Much to their mutual regret, they are rarely in the same country at the same time! |

Prior
to jointly founding International Supply Teachers, Lynette Fisher
taught extensively in the UK and in international schools across four
continents. She has also worked with local government in the UK, providing
career counseling, work experience and job placement services for students.
As a parent with children who were educated in a variety of international
schools, Lynette is very familiar with both the joys and the difficulties
a nomadic lifestyle can provide. She has co-founded IST to ensure that
children do not suffer unnecessary disruption in international schools
when their permanent teacher is suddenly and unavoidably absent. 
Jenni
Bricknell has worked in international education in Australia,
Africa, Asia, South America and in Europe. Her experience includes international
teaching, international business and school administration, international
education policy development and working with the European Council for
International Schools ( ECIS) on developing a "How to Start a New
International School" manual. Jenni is particularly aware of the
need that international schools have for IMMEDIATE access to quality,
experienced, supply/substitute teachers when emergency vacancies arise.
She aims to give international schools the "breathing space"
to find perfect permanent teachers by recruiting experienced IST supply/substitute
teachers. IST teachers can be working at an international school within
days of IST’s receipt of a request for a replacement teacher.
