I was expecting my score to be out of 100, but they said my score was out of 70?

HaHa I am assuming that they got full points on application and to get above that they would have veterans points. Don't they still do that, add 5 or 10 points for veterans?
haha
That would make more sense, but I don't claim any special knowledge about the leadership recruitment process, how they apply veteran points or the point system in general.

At my location we regularly don't have enough subs to cover and pull from aid positions (many aids are in long term sub positions and not technically hired as aids).
Positive Vibes
I am currently in Italy and while the school needs subs, the process to get hired on as one here has previously taken most applicants the entire school year. I applied to sub in August, got called back in September and am still waiting on my background checks to process. Not sure if you are already overseas, but both the schools on my base wanted h...See More

Bahrain is considered a cheaper Dubai.
There isn't much to do outdoors, the base is relatively small, due to oil prices tanking taxes are going up VERY quickly. The school is half private so you will be teaching military and locals (the school is considered one of the best on the island). air quality sucks and is usually worse than china. ...See More

Thank you so much! . I'd love to work there. I'm still hoping for an interview. Haven't heard anything as of yet. It's been a week since hearing I made the referral list.

And please correct me if I'm wrong haha, but the teacher placement for everyone working there goes inter-district then worldwide and happens before any transfer...See More

It varies to a certain extent, and has changed from year to year, depending on location, how many people need to be placed that year, etc.
In general, they will look to place people as close to possible to their current location. It would follow then that they will try to place as many people as possible at Humphreys (which has continued t...See More

Yes, there were some interesting, leading questions among the predictable informational ones (e.g. should principals be involved in the process, should they be able to balance teacher preference with staffing needs, should transfers be merit based, etc.). I looked at some of it but didn't submit.

Late update with the long website outage - The union did have a survey they distributed and closed on 11/7/2018. It was pretty short and not surprisingly felt as much or more biased than the official survey, but pro-transfer.
I did hear some rumblings from longtimers today that they don't think there will be a transfer round this year, but...See More

1. What is the timeline? When should I expect to be boarding? (I have custody arrangements that are pending and will take about 2.5 months to straighten out.... is this a deal breaker or will they wait?) ...See More

Make sure to join the Facebook group for DoDDS teachers. If you're headed to Okinawa, there is a page specific for DoDDS teachers here.

Here is some information about bringing pets into Japan:

I asked and yes, DoDEA does apparently accept religious exemptions. You should just have to file for a waiver.

If I get hired stateside...can my children attend the base schools?
Thanks.

You have to live on base if you want them to go to base schools when stateside. That is true even for military members.
haha
All overseas locations allow our children to attend DoDEA schools (provided their grade is offered at that complex/within commuting distance).
It's only an issue with DoDEA Americas (stateside).

Thank you Haha. I received another email later today that I was referred for the PD position for Okinawa. Now, I wait for the email for an interview?
I appreciate how helpful all of you guys are!

Basically, yes. Some people do try and get more proactive by emailing the relevant principal/hiring authority and introducing themselves, expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity to interview, etc. but that's a personal choice.
Good luck!

I think it only took a few weeks to get the official passports for all 4 of us. I actually think they were ready sooner, but they won't send them to you until you have travel orders.

This is another example of how different the process is. We got ours for the whole family the day after we got our firm offer on a fed ex package. Like they had just been waiting to send them.
