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 license but wanted to see if the Praxis exams would suffice (my state is very slow on getting anything done/answering questions).
My father is retired Army and will be working in Europe as a civilian and I would like to be able to move with him and my family. Thanks!
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.
DoDEA is a much, much smaller organization that when your father first joined the US Army, so getting hired, and moving around is far more difficult.

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 Psychologists and ESL teachers were going to be spread more thinly (like 1 per complex) but there was maybe some walk back of that decision for next year.
There have been more excesses (specifics varying by school) based on drops in enrollment and some apparent cutting of some electives (and adding of others), but again, tough to understand the big picture from our viewpoint. It fits with the general pattern of asking school level staff to do more with less, while above school level staffing seems to hold steady, or even increase.
I am an MSc Psychology student currently recruiting participants to contribute to my dissertation research exploring attitudes towards inclusive education and teaching strategies implemented in primary schools.
If you have 5 minutes to spare, an interest in this topic and work as a teaching professional in the UK (mainstream or special school), you have an opportunity to express your views towards inclusive education. If interested in participating, please click the link below.

What happens if I resign after 1 year? I am in Europe, and I am not sure this position is for me. Just want to fully understand what I will have to pay back. Thanks for any info.

That said, I'm certain that DODEA has some sort of deadline by which time you have to submit your resignation. Although I am a former DoDDS teacher, I finished my career in my home state and I would guess that DODEA and all other education systems would have similar procedures. As an example, in my home state school districts would give out contracts in March or April to teachers and were given a deadline at which time to return it signed or decline it. Usually a week or two was given to decide. If a teacher wasn't certain, they'd sign it and return it indicating they would be returning to the same position for the next school year. But the state has a requirement that in order to get out of that contract, a teacher must submit a resignation no later than 45 days before the first day of instruction. After that deadline which is usually in early July, a teacher can't get out of their contract unless the school district or an administrator agrees to release them from that contract. If the administrator or school district does not give approval and the teacher quits anyway after that deadline, that district then places a 1 year hold on that teacher's state license which prevents the teacher from being able to teach in a public school in this state for one calendar year. So I'm guessing that DODEA may have something similar and you would need to find out the specifics of all this and what are the dates and regulations in DODEA for all of this.
IcanreadThat's a good question for HR. You signed a mobility agreement and transportation agreement so I'm assuming that the answer would be "yes, you have to repay if you don't fulfill the agreement."
