I'm currently an undergraduate student majoring in early childhood education and I'm thinking about becoming a DoDDS teacher overseas. I have a couple questions. (1) How do exemptions work in the over all hiring process in Dodea? For example, if you have an endorsement for special ed, how is it taken into consideration?

You are probably qualified for a TA position in prek or prek sped or for a teacher position in a daycare on a base. If you live near a base that's where I would start! Those are posted on USAjobs too.

@kyjan I only selected countries where I would be comfortable living and took the first job offer. I wouldn't pass up on an offer because on the tentative offer it states that if turn down this offer you are no longer qualified for the any position for the rest of the school year.

I haven't heard anything concrete about Quantico (or any other stateside schools) closing. The last I heard was probably that same article that you read.
Maybe someone has read or heard something that I missed.

I am now working through all the paperwork. I remember in the past seeing people talk about having to get fingerprints done. Where is this in the process? Is there any possibility that I am exempt from that because I have military affiliation. I have an active dependents card and was curious because I received an email that says...See More

In the past, the official passports were one of the first things you applied for. We applied for ours at the US Consulate at our overseas in't school location right after we accepted the tentative offer (before we came back to the US for the summer). They don't send them/release them until you have your orders/final offer (as I understand/remember ...See More

Thank you @haha and @mary I have the passport application and all the forms ready for processing. In her email it says that I have to have an offer letter or orders but it doesn't have a place to put that info anywhere so I might go ahead and make an appointment on base within the next couple weeks to have the applications executed and sent to her....See More

Tough to say. Traditionally, hiring started in April/May, with most seeming to come in June. The last few years it has crept back with hires coming in March. So, who knows?
Basically, you just go through and review each section and hit submit. You should also re-upload your documents, make sure you have the year set for 2020-2021 and then ...See More

So I had to wait until December 2019 to finalize my application for DoDEA schools because I had to find out if I got certified as a National Board certified teacher or not this month. I kept seeing people mentioning already getting offers and I am now worrying that I missed the train!
Should I just not hol...See More

Thanks, @haha. I actually applied for SY 2020-2021 so hopefully they're still hiring for next SY now.
Thanks for letting me know about the years of experience. I hope I hear back from DoDEA schools soon. :)

No problem. You're fine then. They haven't even begun hiring for next year yet (and usually don't until around April, give or take a month).

I think one of my uploads for an ISS/AP job was "illegible." Interesting thing is that I used the same document to apply for my currently held teaching position. I'll take your advice and see if there's a specific contact listed on the job listing. A friend passed on one possible contact. Looking for a Europe HR contact.

This is probably a late response, but for ISS positions, make sure you are prepared to answer anything related to the questions/job description for that specific position.
I have two questions for people already in the system. I have been offered an overseas position.
1.) How does the travel allowance work? I believe that it is every two years and to your "home of record"? Do they monitor where you go with it? Or can you use it to travel to other places? Is it a sum of money that gets added to your paycheck?...See More

Good question, it depends. After October you pay DODEA, before that, you pay the IRS. Google DFAS RITA, although you may not be eligible for RITA, the website has a lot of info about who and how to pay. Not all amended W-2s have gone out yet.
HelpOthers
The newly signed National Defense Authorization Act allows new government hires to also receive RITA. The travel allowance for relocation and the one for renewal agreement travel (RAT) are based on actual expenses. For RAT, you must go to the USA, but if going to a location other than your home of record, you pay the difference if the cost is great...See More

Guam has an opening for AP listed.

My understanding is that if you apply for a position, it is not considered management directed. However, a promotion might not need to be management directed. Please ask HR to be sure.

I just recently completed my application (hoping I clicked the right stuff) and submitted it online (like an hour ago). I'm very new to this process and would appreciate anyone who could guide me on how this works, what should I look for, how long I should wait, blah blah. Thank you fellow educators for your information and ...See More

Basically, the next step would generally be that your application is reviewed and then you are deemed qualified or not qualified in each of the target jobs you selected. It might take weeks or months for HR to review your qualifications. If qualified, then you would be in the pool of applicants for any matching positions and you may eventually a ge...See More

Make sure your references complete their part. Sometimes the request goes to their junk mail.Also, make sure you upload your transcripts and educational certificate/license EACH year you apply even if they have not changed. Also update your availability school-year. Look at the requirements for each of the positions to see if might qualify for addi...See More
