Thanks, I want to clarify I love this job. Just really missing family and find it hard to be away.
IsItFriday?
That's exactly how I interpreted your question.
There are many people in the same boat.
We may love it. But it's a job. We wouldn't do it for free. And it keeps us far from friends and family.

As we said, teaching/grade level assignments are entirely within the discretion of the principal.
Some ask for volunteers. Some try to base decisions on seniority in DoDEA, seniority in the building etc. but many do whatever they want/think best and use whatever rationale they want to offer (if any). Hopefully the decisions are fair and b...See More

There is a system. The principal makes the decision.
Some principals try to sugarcoat it. Some don't
Some try tp cover their actions by sharing some made-up convoluted rationale, and some don't.
Some make decisions that are fair and equitable. Others don't.
This is just one of those times when you need to remem...See More

Yes, the process is well under way. Some excessed teachers in Germany have received placements, and some excessed teachers outside of Germany have received placements in Germany.
And yes, they are hiring. It has started. That has started across the board, although as always, some Principals and Superintendents are slower to hire than other...See More

Thank you for the information & link. But does that mean they are being taxed on the locality adjustment?
IsItFriday?
Yes. Locality pay is taxable. Just do a quick Google if you don't understand what locality pay is.

How common is it to be let go after two years?
Can it happen after year one, even with a good eval/observations? Can it happen after year two with good evaluations?
Moving abroad is a big step and the 2year probationary period could be a stressful time for some new employees.

Agreed.
IsItFriday?
It happens regularly.
But nobody is counting.
It's not in DoDEA's interest to point out their bad hiring decisions, or to track teacher turnover. They get rid of people as quietly as possible, and those people are quickly forgotten.
Some firing decisions are justified. Some leave other teachers puzzled. But the secrecy of...See More

Can you be hired with just the Praxis tests (no state license)?
Little back story: I have a Master's Degree in Education and am currently working on my PHD in education. However, I have always worked in Montessori or Private schools that didn't require me to have a state license. I am working on getting my state lic...See More
IsItFriday?
Yes.
But check the other requirements very carefully to ensure you have all the correct education courses they require.
Following your family around as an adult is not going to be easy. A more reasonable plan might be simply to be in the same Area. Don't plan on being on the same base, or in the same country.

It's happening in all areas. Many elective teachers have been excessed as well. Class sizes are going to go WAY up.
haha
There is definitely some shifting and shuffling go on, but it's hard to get a clear picture on exactly what the intent is or where it will end (or at least pause for the near future).
In the Pacific, we haven't heard much about SLP or SPED being reduced/excessed (at least within my knowledge/experience). There was word that School Psycho...See More
