One of our kinder aides who happens to be a former kindergarten teacher was able to negotiate for the highest amount possible for her position. She did this through her Hr rep that sent the offers. She was asked to submit proof of certifications and her service record of years in the classroom and they ended up paying her the highest amount on the ...See More

Thank you for answering. They only offered one amount per hr. There is not a range with different amounts per hr offered in the job add. I will try to talk to them if I get the opportunity for negotiation. Will see. Thank you again.

It could help, but as far as I know there is no official mechanism/policy for hiring DoDEA overseas teachers over stateside candidates. On the other hand, being a DoDEA teacher might have appeal for some principals since you know the language, curriculum, policies, etc.
And, as you know, DoDEA is looking to shift some teachers so maybe the...See More

The short answer is No.
But why ask that question here? Some of your coworkers have taught for DoDEA-Americas, so talk to them. Just ask.
Is there any special consideration? Yes. In the interview. You have already interviewed for DoDEA. That's a huge advantage over an outside candidate. Play your inside knowledge to your advantage...See More

Thank you both for the replies. @haha,Yes, we do we receive emails for that particular area when positions become available. Contacting principals isn't a bad idea.

Not meaning to point out the obvious, but there is NO transfer program anywhere in DoDEA.
There has been a transfer program in previous years, but any fair judgement would suggest that the program was either non-existent, or that it it was only relevent to teachers with 20+ years of SCD and an A+ category. These requirements effectively ba...See More

@WaitingOnDoDEA I'm still in the states, but I move to Germany in June and i'm hoping to find a local hire position. My husband is already there.

Cindy, local hires can often have a better time finding positions as sometimes numbers cause schools to add positions right before and even after the start of the year.
People will resign and retire, so there could be positions.

I have been applying locally for about 5 months now in Japan. I sent a brief introduction letter and my resume to a number of locations, and I updated all of my certifications and my USA jobs/Dodea profiles.
Yesterday I got a call from a Japanese base, but no voicemail was left on my phone. I called back, but was told that...See More

I do know which base called, I just didn't want to list it on a public forum. I was considering calling the schools on that base, but was debating on whether that would be considered overly persistent. I also checked my spam folder, nothing in there but spam........
haha
Nothing wrong with calling and at least talking to the secretaries to see if they have any idea what it would be about. Odd time for them to be recruiting secondary given most schools are having to excess at least a couple of teachers for next year (although I guess it could be for something for the rest of this school year).

There are many words I would use to describe the organization, but "great" is not one of them. I do like my job, but the organization makes it difficult for teachers to perform it to their greatest potential.
haha
I wouldn't disagree. DoDEA is generally a great opportunity/gig for most of us but it's more due to the lifestyle, and in many case, the teachers and students, rather than the organization (especially in light of many of the recent choices that are being made at the top level).
