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

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

I submitted my application a few days ago, so new to the whole process. I'm currently in NC interested in moving to Japan. I went to Japan over Thanksgiving break and did a few interviews at some international schools, but they were not a good fit for me and the pay was very low. So here I am! I know I have to be open abo...See More

I am currently on Teach Away and in the process of completing my Search Associates profile, so I can try and get registered for the upcoming job fairs.

Japan is wonderful. I would not send information directly to principals unless you make a referral list. They get too many e-mails that they have to respond to and may be frustrated about receiving yours. Make sure your information in EAS is reflective of all your experiences and use that text box on the experience page to include anything not alre...See More

If you do get a job stateside, most of the time they will not pay for your relocation correct?
Will they pay for housing or COLA?
How do they break down the pay scale for each location stateside or is it...See More

You also have to consider that if you already have 10 years of non fed teaching experience, every year you are working outside of the system doesn't count toward pay inside. So, by taking a domestic position now you would bank years of experience if you did get picked up for a foreign post in the future.

I agree with both haha and BusinessShan.
If you have Veteren's preference, it only helps to get into an organization, so you may not want to use it to get in Stateside if your true desire is to go overseas.
However, as BusinessShan stated, the years working with DoDEA stateside will count above the non-DoDEA years for your starti...See More

Also, don't quit yet. Sometimes the background check takes a LONG time. Wait until you have orders before putting in your notice.

Thanks for letting me know about the years of experience. I hope I hear back from DoDEA schools soon. :)
