Just Me
Thank you! I've expressedy interest in the DODEA with my principal and she knows I applied, but I'm afraid she will not be so understanding of me leaving on the middle of the year if it comes to it. Going to try not to worry about it yet.

Agree with Wilma. Generally they advise that you do not actually resign until you have a firm offer/orders in hand. Of course, you should keep your principal advised/updated on the situation (at least to some extent). Agree that stressing the once in a lifetime opportunity to Join DoDEA/serve the mission, etc. often smooths over bad feelings by adm...See More

Thanks. I'll add them to the list.
In general, they will not hire from stateside and move someone over just to fill a position for the rest of the year, so there would be some plan to continue beyond this year or be placed in another position/location/etc. (although since you would be provisional there is no "guarantee" of a position).

I think that Social Studies is a common certification for people to have. Besides experience in general, if you can get AP certified that would help. Particularly Comparative Politics as next year there will be a push for that and not a lot of people traditionally do both.
haha
Agree that SS is fairly common. Also, many SS new hires are required to teach other subjects/have other certifications. At a minimum, try taking an AVID workshop since I've seen quite a few SS/AVID combos.
Other than that, virtually any other subject area you could add would be helpful, so take a look at your transcripts and see if you hav...See More

Opinions vary. I used to lean towards not risking it since it could do more harm than good (e.g. some principals may not appreciate it, for various reasons). Now, I would say it likely won't do much good, but also will not likely do much harm and there is the small chance that it could give you some kind of advantage by getting the principals' atte...See More

Wishful Thinking
@Lindsey@WaitingOnDoDEA I did get notification that I was not selected. Disappointed with the results, but I am thankful that an official notice was given instead of endless waiting. I hope you two are still working through the process.

Unfortunately, from what I've seen, most APs and Principal jobs are hired from within DoDEA. I've been around DoDEA less than a year, but every job that I've seen has been filled by someone who is already teaching or serving as admin within DoDEA. I'm sure this isn't always the case, but I do know that there are lots of teachers within DoDEA who ar...See More

I thought maybe it was down for good and wondering what the best way would be to start a new anonymous page for people to learn more about DoDEA!

No problem. A SPED degree will generally get you LIMM. After that, it usually takes 12 credit hours in a certain specialty to add LIMS, EI, etc. A state cert in a specific area will generally reduce the normally requited credits by half.
So, you probably have LIMM ES, MS and HS which are the most common SPED positions with DoDEA. If you a...See More

I'm in year 2 with DODEA and teaching in a LIMS setting (Learning Impaired Moderate to Severe). I am certified in all areas for my state but initially DODEA certified me for LIMM elementary, middle, and high school only. I had to take 6 credits (half of the 12 required) because I was certified for moderate/severe in my state to become certified wit...See More

It's a little uncommon but not all that unusual. As posted, students may or may not be upset but are generally pretty resilient and used to people moving through their lives.
K-Town would be a great posting and is not going anywhere. If you really want back into DoDEA this is the time to really pursue it. Good luck!

I received a referral about two weeks ago from KMS for ESL. Anything could have happened to why the position is open this time of year. I know of a situation where the teacher wanted to retire but couldn't until ten days after the year started so they couldn't hire for the position until the retirement went through. In addition to the reasons given...See More

The last two times I made it to the telephone interview stage, it was one week after the email notice that the candidate made it to the referral list. The telephone interview was one week after the email interview request.

It is like a pyramid of people. At the base are many qualified people with a teaching license from a US state or territory; the second step contains the people with the largest number of DoDEA certs to allow principals to have backup teachers; the third step contains the people whose DoDDS certs match the primary job requirement of 1-2 subjects -- ...See More
