A new fun obsession is checking EAS after an interview. Usually a day or so before you get an email offer, your account is locked and it states the DoDEA staff is processing your application.
haha
Good point. It doesn't always happen but often the freezing of your EAS after an interview is a very good sign (but not definitive).

How DO transfers work...not how TO transfers work...
haha
There is no transfer round right now. We are hopeful it might be reinstated at some point but it is not something you can count on. When it was in effect it did not include DoDEA Americas. You may still get referrals or interview requests no matter what you choose as a target location.

Some questions popped into my mind over the past few weeks, hopefully you all have some fabulous answers!
1. Is there any preference given, or disqualification for that matter, if you have a spouse who is not a teacher? I know for most int'l schools, they want teaching teams or single teachers, and you're pretty much o...See More

Gotcha. Makes sense to me! I'm being trained to teach AP French this summer, too. Is this generally a good addition, too?

I am looking to add a cert to my license. Do the courses offered at La Verne count for upper-level courses? I am certified in SS and want to add ELA .
Thank you!

Thank you! On the website, the classes are at the 700 level and state they are for graduate credit. I will verify with HR to make sure!
haha
No problem. Accredited graduate credit will always work, and would also be good in the long run to move up a salary lane (BA+15 credits, BA+30, Masters+15, Masters+30).

Is this form something I need to get taken care of before my application can be activated?
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EDUCATION ACTIVITY (DoDEA) SCHOOLS
VERIFICATION OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATOR EMPLOYMENT
FOR SALARY RATING PURPOSES

I submitted mine with my application. I remember the HR office at my current school a the time contacted me to ask if I was resigning. I made a point of saying that I had an ongoing application with DoDEA, but did not expect to be hired in the near future. The Verification letter showed the start date to "present" for that district. I don't recall ...See More

I'm keenly interested in teaching opportunities in Japan. My in-laws are Japanese and aren't getting any younger. Being close to them now would make my wife's day.
Is there a way to know of what job openings there might be for 2019-2020 school year in Japan? The Kanto Plain would be ideal, but we are open to all of...See More

There is no official start date. Hiring can and does take place throughout the entire year. In past years there would be some movement in May, with the bulk of hiring seeming to happen in June and July, another significant chunk in August, as positions materialize, people drop out or are screened out of the process and then a gradual drop off in hi...See More

Recruiting from stateside occurs after all excesses are placed, manpower decisions are updated and local qualified candidates are considered. I think that is about now for Japan.

I hear you. We were teaching internationally, had already given notice and were within days of needing to tell the shippers where to send our 2 cubic meters of belongings when I got the call from DoDEA.
As for a search function, it would be useful (unless I am missing it too). The options seem to be to use the Topic List/Post List view or...See More

Only the last few posts are available here through a search, but I have found much older ones through internet searches that included "teachers.net" and "DODD"

I also wonder about people who had signed to go to another school earlier in the year, and then had backed out because of getting a DoDEA offer?
haha
Pretty much the same story. Some admin/owners are understanding, others less so. There really is not much they can do to affect you if you are going to DoDEA. If you ever wanted to go back to int'l anytime soon I suppose someone could make it a little difficult or unpleasant for you (but likely not).

Generally online is better/faster for most people. An email "should" go out to the people you list as soon as you submit.
The only hold up with online is that sometimes the email will go to people's spam folder. You can always go with the online route and then check in with the referees to make sure they got the email (and if it seems ther...See More

I just recently had my references complete the online reference. It was sent out to the immediately and was only a page for them to fill out. Oddly it was shorter than the downloaded form. I just double checked with my old supervisors to make sure they got it and then doubled checked with HR to make sure they were "completed" in the system. One of ...See More

I am an IB Physics teacher in Dubai and have a DoDEA interview coming up. Not getting LQA would be a dealbreaker for me. Should I be the anointed one and receive an offer (BIG IF), receiving LQA would be my first question. Will HR be able to answer that question? Joe Wachs comment above makes me think this might be a pointless exercise.
haha
HR should be able to answer the question for you. It costs you nothing to go forward/ through and see what happens. Better to know now when going through the actual process rather than just getting a hypothetical answer from HR which can be unreliable.
