Still working at getting into DoDea! I know that the more quals you have, the better! Here's what I have quals in now- 5-12 French, 5-12 English/Language Arts. I'll have a k-12 ESL endorsement after next spring, and a Masters soon to follow.
I'm wondering, would a K-12 Talented and Gifted endorsement be a good addition?...See More

Let me know! :)

Last call! Lol. "Someday", do you have any more details about the possible French opening? Have a great weekend, everyone!

Yes. I emailed a few times explaining my situation, and they still wouldn't let me get the training.

I was wondering if it reflects negatively at all on my chances if they see I am not qualified for some things. Is there a way to take those off?
haha
It shouldn't. Principals/HR only generally care about what areas you ARE qualified in, not what you are NOT qualified in. I think I still have elementary on my EAS (I was qualified in my state by testing but had no early childhood classes).
If you have any chance of adding those areas (by adding credits) then you may as well leave them. If...See More

Hiring happens all year. I was hired during the school year and arrived the first of March. The trick is to be ready to go with 2 weeks notice at all times.

@ Donna j what subjects are you in now and where at?

Often current DoDEA educators are also school counselor certified, but you might still make it onto a referral list.
haha
Counseling positions are a little tough to come by, mainly because they are generally limited to 1-2 per school.
On the plus side, all of the counselors at the schools I have worked at (and a number of others personally known to me) were hired as counselors from stateside (although a few did come from DoDEA Americas).

Admins tend to work long hours, and often weekends. The system is turning very paperwork heavy and stressful. As a mom, I would wait until your kiddos were a little older.....

Thanks for sharing your insight RJ, I will definitely take this into consideration. I've been an admin for about 7 years now, so I'm used to the long hours and paperwork but being overseas alone with the girls without a support system will be undoubtedly more challenging.

There is no rule that says that you can't contact principals directly. It is generally not thought to be a good idea to do it completely cold though.
Maybe if you make a referral list that tells you they have an opening that matches your qualifications, it may be helpful. It may also be unhelpful if something about your email, supporting m...See More

I would only contact if you receive a referral, which means that there is a job opening. Otherwise, you are just one of many thousand Emails or phone calls, and they won't remember you. Timing is everything. Done it three times, in three different territories in DoDDS, got the job each time.

Google says upper is 300 level and above, I hope that is true. Also with a middle level math certification, do the 12 hours need to include upper level?? Because I might not even have enough upper courses for my own degree which is very strange.
haha
I believe that the 300 and above is correct. MS should be 9 hours (3 classes) of upper level and HS should be 12 hours (4 classes) of upper level.
