I have been in the system for 4 years now. Last year I got 2 calls to interview. I turned them both down because I had just signed a contract with a new district and thought it would be unethical to break it. Now my principal knows that I will always have an open app with DOD and i will take any calls that come my way. But we were in a unique situa...See More

Make sure when you update your EAS application that you also upload your transcripts again, even if they are there. I've heard that it is a requirement to upload them every year and will affect your application if not.

Many of our classes are already over 30 at my school. My average class size right now is 36 and it's doubtful they will add staffing to my department.
haha
The highest in our high school is 24 (capped at 24). Many classes are around or slightly below that. A few are well below that.
Elementary depends on grade. I forget the exact numbers but it's like capped at 18 up through 3rd and 24 in 4-5 (in theory), although there are times the class sizes get inflated and they think and stall about add...See More

That's a good thought. Most people on here are looking for DoDEA or nothing but int'l schools can offer a chance to live/teach abroad and are generally easier to get into than DoDEA. And, you can continue to be in the EAS system for DoDEA while working abroad and hoping for an offer (worked for us!).

Thank you all for the comments, suggestions and thoughts!

What things regarding DODD are affected by gov't shutdown.
Thanks!

If you are state certified to teach something, you need half as many college credits (still specific ones: ex: World History), but not the entire amount. Some states allow you to add certification by passing a praxis exam. So then Dodea will give you certifications if you have half the number of credits.
Just Me
I agree with Wilma. It depends on what your state requires for you to be certified. For mine, I already have taken the middle school math praxis and the extra reading classes that were required for my certification, so now all I need to take is the ms plt praxis to be state certified. I'm hoping with the college credits I already have, I will have ...See More

No problem. International Schools Review has a free forum (and a paid forum and school reviews sent in by teachers). TES UK has a free, useful and fairly active forum for Teaching Overseas. I also read and post on both.

PS. Buying a house is not necessarily a deal breaker. We have twice sold houses to move overseas (and were lucky enough to get a good deal both times).

I have nothing for you. That timeline is insane. Keep in touch with HR. Good luck.
PS. Has anyone apologized for way the process is treating you?

It honestly feels good to know that this timeline is out of the ordinary. You wouldn't know it based on the responses I've been getting. In HR's last email they "strongly reminded me to be patient". I was starting to feel like I'm crazy!

Your chances are extremely low for SY 19/20, but filling out the application is free.
Having a non-citizen spouse is quite common and is not a problem, as long as your spouse is a regular persom with regular paperwork. Processing visas for DoDEA locations will just require a little more time and paperwork.

Mostly agree with this. ^ Are you/can you be certified in any other subjects in addition to Art? DoDEA has many small(er) schools where Art may be combined with other subjects and having additional areas would be an advantage.
Either way, 2019/2020 is looking like there will be fewer than usual new hires due to placing some excess teachers...See More

I am pretty sure the Earth science just falls under the general science heading. I have no earth science coursework and am currently teaching it but I did qualify for middle and secondary general science based on my credits in science.
haha
I think you're right. I looked back at the categories for the last couple of transfer lists and the only MS science listed is the code for general science (230).

Yes, when applying you will upload copies of your transcripts. Once you receive a job offer, you will need to order official transcripts that will be mailed to HR.
someday
Agree with Icanread what I did was order a couple copies of each to home and left them in sealed envelopes except the copy I scanned in. When I accepted my offer I sent all the sealed envelopes in one batch to HR with signature required. I had the backups just in case something happened.
