I hoping to move and teach overseas with my children, I was stationed in Germany a few years ago and would like to travel aboard again. I know the DODEA is competitive and my certifications aren't really "high...See More

PD will generally only count if there was some arrangement to get it to appear on an accredited college transcript and you received college credit for it.

You must have 24 credit hours in ESL to get DoDEA certification (and make sure you take the right courses). A 2-day PD won't work for DoDEA - you need college credits to get the certification. The same is true for teaching pre-k and kindergarten. If you have state certification in either of those, then you generally only need 12 credit hours. Here'...See More

Sorry! It'ss always somewaht disappointing to get paid $60,000 when someone else is getting $100,000 (after PCS benefits), but that's the system.
Look to the future. Is your spouse close to retirement? You could pick up the PCS benefits in the future. Lots of local hires do.

If you are in the commuting area on his orders and have been offered a position in that area, then yes, generally you would be considered a local hire. Although generally, you would have switched your EAS over to local hire for THAT location which would have given you priority for that location over CONUS hires (in theory). Ironically, you seem to ...See More

Hmm. Very interesting. Normally, this is the spot where I say Welcome Aboard! but I will hold off so I don't jinx anything for you.
In general, the mere fact of you living in Germany is not a deal breaker for CONUS hire benefits. Many people are hired while teaching abroad in int'l schools.
I do have a few questions. When you say ...See More

If you have years of experience outside of DDESS I believe they will credit all of your DDESS experience, + any other experience (up to 10 years) but don't have first hand experience with that.

I believe you would be in the +30 salary lane. Another poster posted something about Ed. S recently but I don't recall the details. For comparison purposes, use the +30 lane and a max credit of 10 years experience. Everyone starts at Step 1 so the highest step you could start on would be 11.

You can request it. Start with the principal and explain the situation.
IsItFriday?
Yes there is.
Most of the delays are due to the Dodea paperwork requirements. They are not going to drop a candidate for being late. That would only exacerbate the situation.
Keep all the stakeholders informed and keep pushing the paperwork.

There is a fair amount of paper work (mainly forms to be completed). They generally come in waves at different points of the process.
Some of the highlights would include a medical form for you and a letter from your Dr for your dependents (if any), a background check questionnaire that is completed online, original documents (like your tr...See More

Weeks to months to be considered qualified, depending on the time of the year, qualification, etc.
After that, it's pretty much wait for an email or a call. Generally you get notification that you are on a referral list for a school/position. From that list, a principal generally interviews 3-5 people (sometimes more). If selected you woul...See More

For initial hires they generally stick to US carriers. For RAT travel you can sometimes use foreign airlines if the have code share with a US airline.
When in doubt try writing or calling SATO directly.
