Thank you!

To my knowledge, DoDEA Virtual School is based out of DoDEA HQ WASHDC. One of my certs is DoDEA Virtual School. Speculation based on my 09DE2024 RIF Notification is DoDEA is preparing for increased students in DoDDS Germany in SY 2025-26. Be sure where the schools are you would be serving in Virtual School because of the Time Zone differences.

Actually the virtual school has a hub in Okinawa and Germany due to the many time differences of students.

Hi Becky,
Let's unpack this a little, shall we.
It sounds like your ultimate goal is to continue your employment with DoDEA in another location. Is this correct?
There are a number of ways of achieving this goal, one of which you outline in your OP.
One negative about your plan is your uncertainty over the ENI an...See More

Somewhere in the DoDEA OPM Bible (Office of Personnel Management), I read that any incentive pay had to be paid back to the government if you re-hired within a certain time frame. I recommend NOT taking the incentive pay package and wait for the RIF Notification Letters to drop. That is what the teachers did at my school. Many of our teachers thoug...See More

All DoDEA experience would count. Advance yourself several steps.
But, why didn't you just ask your current Admin? Or didn't they know?

Apparently, you would start on the first Step, unless you had experience as an admin (or related experience that they would accept) AND had not already used that experience for salary/step credit.

I'm thinking about possibly reactivating my application for the 25/26 school year. I had a question about references. I have three already listed and filled out from about 8 years ago. My understanding is that these are just a part of the application, and if I was to actually get an offer, I would need to provide three current r...See More
haha
Is there a date associated with the references that a principal might see? If so, you might want to update them. If not, it's tough to say. You may want to go ahead and update them. You never know what might or might not appeal to or appall a prospective hiring principal. But it's also probably not a deal breaker one way or the other (unless HR tel...See More

Update your references.
Smart Principals want current references and will sometimes check them in advance of the interview, or in advance of making the final pick.
There days Principals are more likely to follow the HR script and timeline, but some still go off reservation.
Is there an upside to keeping out of date refere...See More

Well haha, you were right, they didn't want to give me LQA and paying what landlords wanted was just going to be too much of a dent to the pocketbook (they seemed to know exactly how much LQA was because the cheaper yearly rents were exactly what I would have gotten) and had to decline. I guess I'll keep my ear to the ground to see if they change t...See More
haha
This is one of those instances where I would have been happy to be wrong for you. Yes, they have gotten pretty hard core about the conditions needed to award LQA etc. But, you never know what the future might hold. And like you said, if you ever wind up back in the states you can always reapply for DoDEA.

I have an interview for a kindergarten teacher in Germany. So, I am curious what the pay would be for a Master's degree plus 18 and 7 years of experience. I was also curious about the COLA and whether there are any standard interview questions. Any help is much appreciated.

No specific information about either of those countries. We used to be in Europe and the situation changed every few years, although there was generally a way to work around most restrictions. Try googling and/or asking questions of the consulates.
What is the point of doing both? I asked my current, and most recent, supervisors to fill out the referral in the EAS system (which they did), to then have almost every interviewer reach out and want 2-3 references before they will schedule an interview. I have an ok job but would rather my supervisor not know I'm looking, or possibly leaving, unti...See More
haha
I hear you. It's the gov't though, so redundancy is kind of their thing. The ones for EAS are like the price of admission/the minimum bar to get over. The next set I believe are different, more detailed maybe? Maybe, maybe not. I guess I should just refer you to my previous answer.
