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 DoDEA which still staying in your retirement plan (this ties to number 1, trying to figure out what I should take classes in)?
4. How long do you need to work in DoDEA before you can transfer to a different post in another state?
5. I have an out of state certification. How do I get a DoDEA teaching certification?
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 long as they appear on a transcript from an accredited college/university and have a code for graduate credit.
3- Don't know much about this beyond ISS positions or moving into admin.
4- There really is not a transfer round for stateside DoDEA that I am aware of (and you would be eligible for the overseas transfer round). I believe you would be applying for other, internally posted openings once.
5- After your two year provisional status is up, you should automatically get your DoDEA professional license. You would then need to take at least 6 credit hours to have it renewed after 6 years.
Like I said, post on the DoD board and you may get some stateside DoDEA people to chime in.
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 ?
My core is really getting strong. I can really tell.
I enjoyed watching the Royal Wedding this morning. I woke up just as the brides mother got out of the car at the church. That cello musician was incredible. They had gorgeous weather just like when we were there for our daughter's wedding a couple summers ago. Who ever said it rains there all the time!
Taking it easy the rest of the weekend to rest my joints.
I chalked up 14,289 steps today on two walks and some gardening. The second walk was a solo spur-of-the-moment event. After 2 days of no sunshine, she appeared; I had to go outside and enjoy a bit of her. .
