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."
It's time to update your Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) application in the Employment Application System (EAS) for School Year (SY) 2022/2023. Everyone is required to update ONLINE, no matter how recently your application was submitted. Please complete your annual update by 11:00pm CST on March 1, 2022. Recruitment for the 22/23 SY will begin March 2, 2022, however, your application will not receive consideration until your update is complete. Once your application is updated/finalized you will begin receiving consideration for future vacancies.
**When updating your application, please do not forget to change the year of consideration to SY 2022/2023 and update your availability date.**
You must ensure all aspects of your application are true, up-to-date and reflects your ability, experience, and training as accurately as possible. All 9 sections must be updated. Once you have reviewed each section, click "submit". A green check mark will appear next to the section to confirm it has been successfully submitted. A green check mark will also appear next to "Finalize your application" to confirm that your application has been finalized. Applications must be complete and finalized to receive consideration.
**Before submitting, be sure to update the School Year to 2022/2023 to be considered**
If you have questions regarding your application, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page within EAS.
If you are a local applicant residing in the overseas area on sponsors orders (Military or Civilian), you must attach a copy of your sponsor's orders to your EAS application. The orders should be labeled under Military Spouse Preference.
Worldwide applicants that wish to be considered for overseas positions must choose every country where they are willing to work. If an opening becomes available for a location that you have not selected, you will not be considered for that opening.
Applicants must provide at least 3 evaluations. If you are a Current/Former DoDEA employee, please ensure that you obtain and upload a DoDEA 5011 Professional Evaluation from your current or last former DoDEA principal/supervisor to your EAS application.
Thank you for your continued interest in teaching with DoDEA.
HelpOthersThis timeline was not even correct as of January 30th. Make sure you are reading the official guidance at both Iwakuni and the military facility where you would stay in Tokyo.
primarypodThere should be a Covid Team at MCAS Iwakuni specifically for DoDEA. Contact your school secretary to confirm that you are following the most current protocol for your specific location. The only US Government managed hotels in the area are on MCAS Iwakuni.
This is a commercial SATO routing with a 28 day quarantine period -- 14 days NRT Airport and 14 days Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni Airport. There are no direct America to MCAS Iwakuni flights until after 03/10/2022. I decided it was best to get to the new duty post ASAP in case there are further delays due to CoVID-19 Pandemic. I had to travel within a minus 7 plus 7 days of the 02/28/2022 date shown on my PCS Travel Orders or start the PCS Orders process again. There may or may not be a federal government pause on 03/11/2022 due to congressional funding issues. I decided to move ASAP.
Timeline: 12/16/2021 received unsolicited DoDEA job offer from USAJOBS. Received clear criminal bkgnd chk last month. Received PCS Travel Orders last week. Received electronic E-tickets via email today.
Thomas PThe area you're in also heavily plays into it. If you're applying for a job in a city or some other highly-populated area chances are there's going to be a lot of people looking for the position, but if you're out in a rural area you're likely to have little to no competition for the spot.
Unlike my previous two DoDEA services, the current service does not allow me to pick and choose flights from America to Japan. The only way to avoid a 28 day CoVID quarantine is to fly into an American military airport in Japan. Then, I must only endure a 14 day quarantine on base, but I will not be allowed to leave my base hotel room until the 15th day.
I do not have state licensure but have been a preK and kindergarten teacher in independent schools for 19 years. Is it possible to work for DODEA without being licensed??
...See MoreReceived my first DoDEA job offer from USAJOBS.GOV site. Suspected fraud because the subject line read [Non-DoD Source] Tentative Job Offer for TEACHER (MIXED SECONDARY0, TP-1701-CG, Iwakuni, Japan
The job offer is from US Army,- not from DoDEA EAS. I completed US Army forms for this DoDEA position on a US Army Airbase in Japan..
I am an US Forest Service Teacher on an US Job Corps Center with two government email accounts. The US Army personnel contacting me have ARMY.MIL and DoDEA.EDU email accounts.. Transferring between these jobs will be seamless without loss of duty days or federal leave earnings.
Conclusion: Persons seeking DoDEA jobs should also have an application active on USAJOBS. In the end, I will be both US Army and DoDEA.
