My name is Jason Reagin and I am a highly experienced international educator.  I have been teaching and leading ​overseas for 21 of the past 27 years.  I have been fortunate enough to experience many different types of ​educational systems. 


In 2006, I received a graduate certification from the University of Georgia in Educational Leadership.  This is an ​additional certification to the E.S.O.L. and Technology Education Teacher certifications that I hold.  I have had the ​privilege to lead many different types of teams in school successfully.  Whether IB steering committees or subject ​departments, I have a successful track record of leadership.  I have a ‘people person’ demeanor and believe in ​building strong teams through collaboration and a positive spirit of mutual respect.


Since 2008 I have participated in IB Educator Network (IBEN) sponsored events worldwide.  To date, I have ​attended and conducted IB workshops, consulted for candidate MYP schools, acted as a visiting team leader, and ​served as a field representative for on-site regional workshops for IB visits that total over 90 IB events (in more than ​a dozen countries).  I am currently working on several ‘advanced development’ projects with the IB which involved ​planning new workshop iterations and so on. 


This accounts for a wealth of experience that few educators possess.  I have experience observing and providing ​evaluation feedback to teachers, and this allows me to relate and empathize with teachers, parents, and students ​alike.

In April 2016, I was invited to serve as an Associate Inspector for the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau (DSIB). In ​June 2016, I was appointed by the IB to act as a liaison between the IB MYP curriculum managers in The Hague ​and independent MYP Design teachers.  The role was called "MYP Design Lead Educator" and involved interacting ​with other Design teachers globally and curating updated teacher and student samples for the Teacher Support ​Materials and MYP Design Workshops worldwide.


I have proven that I genuinely care about the wider school community through my actions and deeds within and ​outside the walls of the school building.  This is invaluable with regard to promoting the reputation of your ​organization in the region and around the world.
