I would prefer to not let my current employer know I will apply for the 2022-23 school year when it opens in EAS. If I am able to obtain an interview, I would then prefer to add them. Is this okay?
LBC7199haha, this is truly helpful and I really like the way you suggested to spin it to admin. I think my admin would be supportive but I know it is a longshot but it is good not to blindside them too. Thank you for the awesome advice.

hahaAgree. Maybe check and see if any schools in your state/county will give you college credit on a transcript for some of that work. Unlikely that they will and/or that DoDEA will take it, but worth a few calls/emails.
I am a current DoDEA teacher, I have been applying for admin openings on USAJobs and have received many referrals for some of the postings but never an interview. My question is, if it looks bad/unprofessional to contact the community superintendent? Would it burn the bridge for that region or others? TIA!
IcanreadI believe that form is for employment verification to figure out where you would fall on the pay scale when/if you get hired. I don't believe it would need to be submitted now. That will definitely be submitted once you get a job offer.
hahaGood catch. I totally missed the subject (and the point of what was being asked apparently). :S
Yep. Usually those are submitted after an offer, although some people recently have said that they uploaded to EAS. We mailed ours in as part of the onboarding paperwork, way back when.
How do the locations/costs of living compare? How does the money compare (salary +post allowance)? I would try and figure this out without LQA because they have been pretty stingy recently with granting LQA if you are not recruited from the states.
IcanreadBased on Dodea's recent track record with teachers who are currently overseas, you will most likely not qualify for housing benefits or return travel. You would have to return to US soil for 12 months before applying/interviewing if you would like to receive LQA, etc.
What are the odds for a teacher with a VA rating of 30 percent disability (or more) who is meeting the requirements for an opening in EAS to make the referral list (and get an interview)? Thank you for any and all input!
In my experience working for EDIS across Navy, AF, and Army programs, there has been a vast difference between each branch and their culture/management style. Is the same true for DoDEA stateside programs? Are the Army schools pretty top-down and micromanaged in their management approach and AF schools more laissez-faire?
JJJ123My experience suggests that as a whole, DoDEA is more like the Army in its management style. Stiff, micromanagey, more worried about titles and protocol, and how we've always done it. Just my two cents...
I would like to apply for the 2022-2023 school year but it only gives me the option to apply for 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022. When do they allow you to submit an application for the upcoming school year? Should I submit as 2021-2022 with my available start date or do I wait for the system to select the 2022-2023 school year?
MullinzoI believe that in March, the option to apply for 2022/2023 will open up as that is when all applicants are asked to renew their application for the year.
hahaIn general, it seems better to get your application submitted and your qualifications (hopefully) determined as soon as possible. Then you are ready to review and finalize for the upcoming year.
I received an interview request for Naples. Can anyone tell me about the area or if it is a good post to have? How is housing and crime? Any information would be appreciated.
IcanreadFor what it's worth, I was just talking to a coworker today who is a young, single woman and was strongly advised by multiple people to not accept an offer that she received for Naples, due to crime there.
I don't have any personal experience with Italy and only know what I've read online.
