All certifications are based on college credits. Having a state certification in an area usually cuts the number of credits in half. For example, you need 30 SH for English. So a state certification would cut that to 15. If you can take the praxis and get a state certification it would help, but still depend on what classes you already have taken i...See More

Things are finally moving along. I mentioned my situation a few times (I am an Assist Professor working in Japan).
I got my 9-12 social studies teaching license current and re-instated, uploaded all of my information for approval, and am w...See More

Would a Special Education Qualification be a good choice as something to add? Thank You
haha
Not sure about online AVID course but search around, it might be possible. Yes, SPED is an excellent cert to have but maybe not so valuable without some type of relevant experience in it.

So, I got my eQip but not the finger print instructions. Do the finger print instructions cone separately from the eQip?
Icanread
Yes. The fingerprint cards come seperately. They overnighted the fingerprint cards and instructions to me.

The short answer is no.
Whenever HQ is asked about any program or initiative they always give the same answer "Yes, we've been discussing ways to put fill-in-the-blank together and we're interested in teacher input as to how this might look."
After a while teachers get the message and stop asking. Others beat their head against t...See More

Possibly. But the longer answer (in general) is yes, at least some DoDEA students are currently able to participate in some dual-credit classes. Your results may vary by location, school and the time of day.

Also, I was wondering if teacher positions are filled year around, or are they pretty much done for the...See More

I called yesterday about the PPIS position. They said that they were processing other positions first. They should be processing the applications for PPIS in the next 2-3 weeks.
Hopeful
Thanks for the update, Ron.e! Knowing approximately when we can expect to hear something makes the waiting a little easier.

Anywhere from days to months. If it's already been months then keep writing and calling until you get some kind of action.
Generally the email goes out in February (or so) telling you to update. Some people say they have not gotten the email notice.

Play nice, and smile. All the advice above is good and it pretty much amounts to the same thing. Take the SC position, assuming it's a nice step up.
Your old principal needs to take care of her own problems. There is no teacher shortage. There's just a shortage of people who want to take crap positions. Tell her I'll fill the position. But...See More

It's definitely an agency wide problem, which the union keeps raising with management. They admit it's a problem although they contend that it's being addressed and is no longer a crisis. It does seem to vary widely in it's intensity from location to location.

I've worked in a handful of districts. Every single one of them has had problems with getting enough subs. It's not a problem specific to Dodea, unfortunately.
