I have been a teacher for 17 years with the past 5 being in DODEA overseas( including this year). If I were to get an assistant principal position what step would I start on? I'm over a step 10 now.

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Is there an upside to keeping out of date refere...See More

I have heard of/read about people who have taken the incentive and then ended up coming back to DoDEA. I have no idea what the current policy is and how it would affect your situation. I did notice in the announcement or one of the forms it said this: "Your reason may be considered in any future decision regarding your re-employment in the Federal ...See More

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

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.

I recall reading that you shouldn't say where you are in the interview..or something as it effects benefits?

$100K? Take a the job.
There's nothing to think about. Are you making $100K now? Probably not. You're working in SE Asia, but you don't have the top job at ISB, am I right?
Take the money and in five years you will be vested in the retirement system, and you'll be financially secure.
Will you miss SE Asia? Sure. Just spe...See More

There's something I recommend you consider doing that I did a couple of years ago that caused me to get WAY more referrals over the past 2 years and I've actually had about 5 principals contact me directly this past year asking if I would like to interview. (Note: I've had to turn down all of them due to needing to be here in the states for an elde...See More

It's time to get a Masters degree.
A person is not really competitive in DoDEA without a Masters degree.
Not everyone has one. But if you want to be competitive, then get one.

But, why didn't you just ask your current Admin? Or didn't they know?
