In all forms of school, there are some educators who really stand out as having “a way” with kids. Their ability to develop relationships of mutual trust and respect is second-to-none. Jeff Devens is one such educator. He has a way of putting everyone at ease.Jeff joined us for another episode –  not to talk about finance this time, but to talk about his day job – working to support students and parents in international schools. As Audrey noted in her introduction to the episode, get your notebook and pen handy as Dr. Devens shares so much helpful information!For 29 years, Dr. Devens has worked in international education as a school psychologist, counselor, and classroom educator. Jeff completed his Ph.D. in School Psychology in 2006. His dissertation research focused on depression rates among international students.Growing up on public assistance and the only one of five children to graduate from high school, Jeff uniquely appreciates the hurt, heartache, and angst that parents encounter when raising kids. His first book, A Parent's Guide to Raising Kids Overseas, was released in 2018. Jeff's wife, Nanette, is also an international educator. They have two children: Cylas, a college freshman, and Cora, a high school sophomore. Our Guiding Question was, “Is parenting overseas different from parenting in one's home country? What are some things to think about?”Here are a few topics Jeff covered in this episode: What first-time overseas parents and students can experience with the start of schoolHow family systems can change when living internationallyThe importance of community with the school at the center of itCultural considerations and variationsStressed out studentsParenting stylesThe importance of valuesFostering life skillsWhere to learn more: The Facebook group Expat Financial Education run by Andrew Hallam Jeff's Book - A Parent's Guide to Raising Kids OverseasResources Mentioned in the Episode:David's Wellness@ES website which includes a section on Digital WellnessDr. Jonathan Haight's Anxious Generation website and book of the same nameThe show was recorded on August 30, 2024.Categories: Parenting | School Life | Transitions | Digital WellnessRemember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information or to subscribe to our newsletter!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

Survivor 45 is on! Eighteen new castaways are marooned on the islands of Fiji and there's already some surprising friction between the group. What drives Emily to confront Bruce the moment they get to the barge?

But first, Devens details just how much preparation and sacrifice each castaway makes leading up to their time on the island. Jeff Probst then shares a behind-the-scenes look at the approach to designing the game for the new, longer 90-minute TV episodes, how the castaways are organized into their tribes, and just how he felt during the tribal council that nobody expected.  Watch the latest episode of Survivor every Wednesday on CBS and Paramount+ and then catch all-new episodes of “On Fire” right after the show. You can watch Survivor and more on Paramount+. Subscribe at paramountplus.com and use the code SURVIVOR45 by 12/20/23 and get your 1st month of Paramount+ on us.

In this three-part bonus series, we take a deep dive into some very important aspects of tax filing and nest egg building for American citizens.  Even if money is not your thing, this series will help you save a lot -- if it prompts you to, as our guest Jeff Devens suggests, start asking critical questions.The three parts of the series are: 1-How to file US taxes using legal levers to maximize your advantages. 2-How to pay as few taxes as possible on your investment earnings (also legally!) while also minimizing future taxes. 3-Making sure you qualify for Social Security and, more importantly, Medicare upon your retirement from teaching overseas.For the past 26 years, Dr. Jeff Devens has worked in international education as a school psychologist, counselor, and classroom educator. Jeff holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Psychology and Social Studies Education and completed his Ph.D. in School Psychology in 2006. In 2014 Jeff served as a member of a Crisis Response Team (CRT) supporting an international school going through two simultaneous crises. This experience profoundly impacted his understanding of finances and the necessity to support fellow educators as a form of psychological financial first-aid. Jeff is currently in the process of completing his certification from Boston University as a Certified Financial Planner. Jeff's wife, Nanette, is also an international educator (high school music). They have two children: Cylas, age 17, and Cora, age 13. During his “free” time, Jeff enjoys exercising and competing in Jiu Jitsu, having earned his black belt in 2018.  Our guiding question for the episode was, “What kinds of advice around taxation and retirement nest egg planning would you give to US Expats living overseas?”Our chat was US-centric, looking at the US tax system and what US international educators need to know to grow their nest egg, making the most of beneficial tax rules.

In this three-part bonus series, we take a deep dive into some very important aspects of tax filing and nest egg building for American citizens.  Even if money is not your thing, this series will help you save a lot -- if it prompts you to, as our guest Jeff Devens suggests, start asking critical questions.The three parts of the series are: 1-How to file US taxes using legal levers to maximize your advantages. 2-How to pay as few taxes as possible on your investment earnings (also legally!) while also minimizing future taxes. 3-Making sure you qualify for Social Security and, more importantly, Medicare upon your retirement from teaching overseas.For the past 26 years, Dr. Jeff Devens has worked in international education as a school psychologist, counselor, and classroom educator. Jeff holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Psychology and Social Studies Education and completed his Ph.D. in School Psychology in 2006. In 2014 Jeff served as a member of a Crisis Response Team (CRT) supporting an international school going through two simultaneous crises. This experience profoundly impacted his understanding of finances and the necessity to support fellow educators as a form of psychological financial first-aid. Jeff is currently in the process of completing his certification from Boston University as a Certified Financial Planner. Jeff's wife, Nanette, is also an international educator (high school music). They have two children: Cylas, age 17, and Cora, age 13. During his “free” time, Jeff enjoys exercising and competing in Jiu Jitsu, having earned his black belt in 2018.  Our guiding question for the episode was, “What kinds of advice around taxation and retirement nest egg planning would you give to US Expats living overseas?”Our chat was US-centric, looking at the US tax system and what US international educators need to know to grow their nest egg, making the most of beneficial tax rules. You can open the slideshow listed in the resource section below and use the visuals to help clarify concepts as you listen to the episode. This episode was recorded on December 12, 2022.  Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Finances for International Educators  SlideshowRemember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information or to subscribe to our newsletter!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Music: YouTube.
