May 22, 2018

I lead my first Novice/Senior cycle ride this morning! I had two experienced cyclists show to help me out. One gave me a helmet mirror and the other showed me how to do the miles and speed on Strava. We did nine miles at a 9.8mph speed. We had a group of six so it's a start. I had two people email me to say they were interested but couldn't come th...See More

Elaine/ret/IN Wow, men, you are really doing this biking thing! How cool! You'll love the helmet mirror. I've had a few, but I always lose them. The grands will be so proud to be riding with GRAM! Yoga this morning. 10,457 steps. 11 miles on the bike. It only rained once today. Before 9:00. Hallelujah!

new DoDEA employee questions

by ragingowl

May 20, 2018

I just started working for DoDEA this year and had a few questions.

1. Can you get reimbursed for college classes?

2. Can any college classes count toward moving to the next step (for me its Masters +15) or does it need to be going toward a Doctorate?

3. What non-teaching jobs can you move into from being a teacher in Do...See More

haha Hi. You're better off posting this on the DoD board.

I only have experience with DoDEA overseas so take this FWIW.

1- As far as I know, no. There are apparently places that will give you a discount based on being a DoDEA teacher.

2- Classes do not need to be towards any type of degree. Random classes are just fine as lon...See More

DoDEA hiring question

by Kcuster

May 19, 2018

My application was approved- but I wanted to know how long the process might take to be hired. I was hired as a sub but haven't been called yet for an interview as a teacher. Since they picked me up as a sub, will they not choose me as a teacher this year ?

Thanks for any guidance!

haha Are you talking about being hired as a sub stateside or overseas? Are you talking about being hired as a teacher stateside or overseas?

Are you talking about being hired as a teacher THIS CURRENT school year or for the next 2018-2019 school year?

As posted, you are better off posting your questions/answers on the DoD chatboard.

ragingowl I just started working with DoDEA and it only took a few months to get hired. However, it took a few months after getting hired before everything was cleared and I actually started my job. Keep that in mind. We flew to look for a house the week after I got hired (we were from a different state than where I got the position) only to find out it migh...See More
