Just curious, anyone know exactly when in March stateside hiring may begin? I'll be traveling out of the country for spring break, so want to try and plan on when I should look at email, if need be.
iowatoabroadhopefulGood luck with your interview! Good to know, IsItFriday! I assumed as much, but thought that there would be a general start off point for hiring for August start dates. :) Have a good day!
HelpOthersKeep the phone number with you that is on your application. You may receive a call about an interview rather than an e-mail. However, keep an eye on those e-mails too.
Looks like people are getting their assignments. Most of them so far look like they are within District (e.g. Daegu to Osan, Yokota to Yokosuka) although I've seen at least one going from Europe to Japan.
I am still having trouble wrapping my brain around how it works. So ...See Morehaha - when you put it in those terms. It does sound a lot easier. And if the typical time for a pull-out session is 45 minutes that wouldn't be too hard. All that would take is to prep 3 activities - 15 minutes each. Not too bad, plus the content material is super easy.
I am still having trouble wrapping my brain around how it works. So how many pull out sessions would you typically have. Yes, I know it varies based on caseload size. But if you had to estimate how many are we looking at?
How many students that involves will depend on your caseload. Could be single digits. Could be 20 +/-. Could depend on whether there is another LIMM or whether you are it.
Best thing you could do is write the current person in that position (or one of them) at that school and ask for details. Things may change by next year (as numbers change from year to year) but the answers would still likely be more accurate than us trying to guess what it might look like in that particular school/dept.
If you are up for a change and willing to do some research, be flexible and learn some new things, it should be fine.
It's always a good sign to have re...See MoreMonths? A few to many? It's tough to try and give a better estimate since experiences vary wildly. I've known a few teachers get ISS jobs and leave mid-year but don't know the exact details of the timeline since many people play those kind of things close to the vest until they know it's really happening.
It's always a good sign to have references contacted after an interview, but not definitive since different admin do things differently. I've know.
Hey I'm a current classroom teacher stateside and looking to transition out of the classroom. Im certified in areas 0411 Language Arts/Reading Spec. Es and0109 Teacher, Compensatory Education Reading (Elementary). Are these positions hard to get?
But, there are generally some openings every year and they get filled every year (although current DoDEA teachers might also want to go for those openings if they get qualified and are also looking to transition out of the classroom).
When in doubt, put in your application and see what happens. Maybe also consider playing the long game and apply as a classroom teacher, with the eventual hope of transitioning to a specialist position once you were in.
jgray1278@ashmo, could I get your contact info. I am taking a position in Qatar next school year while I wait for a DOD overseas position. I could use some guidance on the Move to Qatar.
HelpOthersIf you turn down a job offer in the states (DoDEA), your application will be frozen for the remainder of the hiring year and will not be placed on any overseas (DoDEA) positions either, so please keep that in mind. Stateside positions do not pay relocation expenses either.
HelpOthersYes, there is some hiring, but at this point there are still people who need to be placed; so, you may not see much in the way of referral lists yet.
Does any one know how the PART time teacher positions differ from FULL time? I am guessing the pay is based off of the hourly rate. But, I don't know how many hours exactly I would be asked to work & if those hours are the same weekly. Also, are there benefits? Are they as good as FT employees or at least decent enough that I can go to any DR w...See MoreDoes any one know how the PART time teacher positions differ from FULL time? I am guessing the pay is based off of the hourly rate. But, I don't know how many hours exactly I would be asked to work & if those hours are the same weekly. Also, are there benefits? Are they as good as FT employees or at least decent enough that I can go to any DR without worry. Does it ever lead to Full Time or am I stuck at PT? Today, HR contacted me about a Permanent PART time Pre-K/Preschool Disabled teacher, seasonal position. I selected Full Time Permanent, but HR asked me to switch my preference in the application system if I wanted to be considered for it. I was suppose to start a FT perm position in Feb at another school, but I couldn't get out of my current lease (plus find a new place and move) within the 2 weeks they gave me to start, so I had to decline. This position is near my best friend so I can live with her until my husband transfers and we find a place to live. I would hate to turn down another position, but PT would only be worth it depending on the answers I receive. Thanks so much in advance! Take care & good luck to you all! Peace!
Part time could lead to full time but there is no guarantee. It could be a good move if you can afford to be on halftime for a while. Check the salary scale based on your education and years of experience to get an approx. salary for the position.
HelpOthersKeep in mind that the government only pays 1/2 of the portion they usually pay for your benefits (if you work 1/2 time), so you end up pay almost double what you would ordinarily pay. This may be important if you need the benefits from your position rather than from that of a spouse for example.
Does anyone know if one would be notified even if they didn't make the list? The announcement stated that selections would be made within 40 days of the closing date. There is still time on the clock, but I was just curious if candidates would know one way or the other.
hahaIn general, DoDEA is hit or miss with notifying unsuccessful candidates for any position.
Also, generally speaking, DoDEA only issues certifications to current employees. Candidates/applicants are only deemed qualified, pending actual employment with DoDEA.
Someone once posted a recommendation of a school that offered quick courses which also offered a quick turnaround for getting transcripts. Does someone have any recommendations for getting some extra courses in quickly?
