Overseas, yes. Stateside, I believe it can depend on whether you live on base or off base (but don't claim any expertise on DoDEA Americas).

Stateside, you would have to live on base.

There are negatives, sure. But the positives far outweigh them. Coming from a low paying state, DoDEA pays me a living wage and pays me for my degree, where my state didn't. I worked twice the hours I do now for half the pay. Planning wasn't sacred and we were expected to go to IEP meetings, RTI meetings, etc. during planning. Sure, we had to meet ...See More

I'm guessing OP has either been very lucky in the past or has had a very limited range of teaching experiences. DoDEA is the best district I've worked in, and I've been teaching for 30 years. (Just joined DoDEA a couple years ago.)

Generally, once you accept a position you are locked in, your EAS is frozen and you cannot be considered for any other interviews or positions.
In reality, a small group of people report that the timing and/or system/human error ended up giving them an option (but I wouldn't count on it).

Just Me
I am qualified in elementary 1-5, middle school math, all grades library, compensatory math elementary, and a couple others. I have 9 qualifications in all and 3 more pending.

I wouldn't worry yet. I can't imagine that there are many schools with openings still that have not been filled or in the process of being filled. I'd bet get referrals in a few months as people retire.

How many credits do you need to be certified in an area in the DOD?
I have an odd situation: i gained my Virginia certification through a career switcher path in VA community college. It was for ESL and it was around 30 credits of graduate class...See More

It doesn't hurt to try.
Here's information on the different requirements for positions. https://www.dodea.edu/Offices/HR/employment/categories/support.cfm

It's generally 24/30 credits. I believe it's 24 for ESL. Generally they will want actual credits on a college transcript but definitely try calling and see what they say.

Question: How do I sign up for benefits? Can I do it online at home or do I have to be on a school computer...See More

Talk to the person who helped with all your hiring paperwork. They should give you the information you need to sign up for benefits. Yes, it will be online, but I cannot recall whether you need to use your CAC or not.
Snow Lane
I'm pretty sure you have to have a CAC to enroll.

It will be very difficult to gain benefits once the new contract is implemented. The transfer system is already bare bones. Best to get hired Stateside.

Far from an expert but from what I recall hearing/reading, your SCD, retirement, etc. would all transfer over. It's probably not all applicable/accurate still but this fact sheet about excess teachers going from DoDEA to DDESS should give you some idea: I'm sure there are some similar documents out there.

Agree with haha. I think that information sheet is still very applicable. Stateside has a different pay scale and accepts fewer years of teaching from outside if DoDEA. However, they will count all your time overseas with DoDEA when deciding which pay scale you will be on stateside.

When you have been chosen for an interview, you are already in a small minority. They usually scan the applications and narrow down the interviews to a small number and choose from those who interviewed. They may have checked all references, or may have only checked the one or two they were considering for the position. If you see your application ...See More

They do not pay for your move, and can often start you with a line-of-sight background check while awaiting a full background check. So it may just be however long it takes you to get yourself moved there.
