have 14 years experience teaching elementary school in Florida. Are there some countries that are more popular than others to get a position in? Is getting an elementary position harder than middle or high school? I have a certification to teach social studies up to 12th grade. However, I taught 11th grade Intensive Reading for a few months and tha...See More

Int'l teaching was a good life for us before we got into DoDEA. Check out Int'l Schools Review if you have not already. They have an active free forum and a paid side with school reviews and another forum where you can name schools and ask for feedback.

Thanks for the suggestion haha. I am checking now. :)

Does anyone have advice for securing student teaching with Dodea? I'm applying to schools that participate in student teaching with them (GMU, UMUC, Liberty). Also, Does it help to b...See More

I realize this is an old post, but I did my student teaching through Dodea. There were several other student teachers as well. If you have any questions I would be happy to try and answer them.
Good Luck

Why don't you go ahead and post some insights and tips based on your experiences for other readers who might benefit from them?

I am an SLP, looking to work for DoDEA. I'm open to anything. I'm completing my clinical fellowship year in a school district now. I've been told SLP is a good position to apply for DoD, but just wondering if you know what the likelihood is? I...See More

@Icanread thanks for responding! Where are you located? I applied on EAS. I haven't seen anything except for VA positions on USAjobs. I just didn't know if the excess was affecting every position within the school system, or teachers specifically.
haha
Hi. I am not an SLP but I am a SPED teacher (in Japan) so obviously work closely with our SLP's.
SLP is a good qualification to have for DoDEA. It seems that the numbers of qualified candidates is not THAT great in the system, so even though the numbers of SLP's/openings is relatively low compared to other positions, every complex has at l...See More

I have very slim hopes for getting on this year (you never know.. i guess!, and am looking towards next year!
I'm working on my Masters and ESL endorsement (should have ESL by dec of this year). The esl endorsement would be k-12, so even more flexibility! I am attending AP French training this summer to add some quals.

Yes, we have ESL students. Because we live in another country, we sometimes have children who come not speaking any English (often one American parent and one local parent). In fact, my school (about 750 students) has 2 full-time ESL teachers, and I think we've been given the okay to add another 0.5. Every elementary school in Okinawa has at least ...See More

Thanks, both of you! I emailed EAS my program of study, and they said that it should be okay. I also called when I had another question, and the lady mentioned that if I get the state certification in ESL, that the number of credits needed is half if I have that. So, fingers crossed that's all true! Thanks for the clarification!

In your case, it would be called Family Member Preference, I'm not sure where you would add it to the application, however it may help your chances of being hired. I am attaching a link with the official guidelines from DODEA https://www.dodea.edu/Pacific/offices/HR/upload/Family-Member-Preference.pdf

Sorry, wrong post.

You aren't going to like this answer. But your chances are slim to none this year. They have excessed 360 teachers this year. They have to place alll those teachers before they start hiring new ones.
haha
I don't disagree with much of the above. The odds are longer this year than most years. But, no one can say for certain that there won't still be some new CONUS hiring this year. There likely will be some, whether it be 10 or 100, no one can really knows. I think we'll know more in the next month or so.

Add subjects, not states.
haha
Agree that DoDEA will not likely care about getting certs in the same subjects from different states. The only real positive would be having a back up cert in case you had to resign quickly from your current state and the state/district was giving you a hard time about it (but you would apply for certification in another state without actually movi...See More

I worked at a school in Albania. It is a developing country but still Europe. They would readily take someone with a non-working spouse and 2 children. They provide airfare for the whole family. They pay settling and some shipping/excess luggage fees. They also give you a stipend each month for rent which comes pretty close to covering rent, depend...See More

Agree that Eastern Europe is a little more accessible and doable then Western Europe. The housing allowances are a little better and the cost of living generally a little lower. Budapest, Sofia, Bucharest and Warsaw all have decent to very good int'l schools.
