Sorry. Long time since I'd been on here and I forgot about the commenting glitch.
haha
Anything is possible, but it seems that very few DoDEA teachers are NBCT (at least anecdotally, I have never seen any stats on it).
Then again, anything that you can do to stand out or try to separate yourself from the pack can't hurt (especially if you've a mind to do it anyway, it pays more in your state, etc.).

They way they currently state it- the candidate must be living in the USA for at least one year AND during the application process through to the final offer in order to qualify for LQA.
IsItFriday?
Sounds like we're all in agreement.
The candidate must be in the States from the beginning to the end of the hiring process.
Anything else puts the candidate of the risk of HR's ever-changing interpretation of the rules, and also at risk of a future re-evaluation of the hiring paperwork. And there is nothing that anyone can say on...See More

I have a frriend who is a DoDEA principal and I emailed him the other day asking about this type of stuff. His response was that with some administrators, they will specifically exclude anyone who contacted them from interviews/consideration to avoid any accusation of favoritism or getting an advantage over others. My friend says that he has no pro...See More

I'd like to tag on to this question - can you postpone dependent travel if the family is in the US? I also have HS age children and may be in a similar situation. How does this affect your LQA? Thanks!
haha
Not an expert and/or have not done this personally. But, in general, yes you should be able to postpone dependent travel up to a certain time limit (vague on exactly what that limit is).
LQA is based on the number of dependents residing at post, so it may have some impact in that you sometimes need to add or take off dependents but it is g...See More

I have been offered an interview at Ikego Elementary School and am very excited about it but have a few questions. Does anyone have experience there? Also, I was trying to figure out what the pay would be and if they have a cost of living allowance. I have been teaching 22 years in washington state and have a masters plus 45 ...See More

You will be paid on the 2020-2021 pay scale until almost the end of the school year when a comparison is made with school districts the size of DoDEA and pay is then determined. You will be paid retroactively at once for any owed income and then final pay checks will be at the new rate.

Okinawa is in Pacific South District and mainland Japan is in the Pacific East District. Currently, the Pacific East District has posted some internal vacancies for those want to move themselves to another location in the district. Relocation is not funded by DoDEA. On the other hand, if you receive a promotion (USA Jobs) or district/area directed ...See More

There is no way to transfer between districts. Lots of teachers this year went back and picked up stateside Dodea jobs so they can be on US soil for a year and reapply to go overseas. It's a risk, but it's a risk that many are willing to take right now. The only other way to move locations is to get a promotion by going into administration. That's ...See More

@haha do you have to do another probationary period if you were dodea for 4 years, left for 1 year, and are now returning for an overseas position? TiA
HelpOthers
My understanding is that you are only required to do two probationary years for DoDEA regardless of whether it was US or Foreign country. However, if there is a gap in service, this may be different.

Thank you so much for the helpful information. :)

And I may be off by the number of days grace period. I could be 30 or 60 days. I cannot remember for certain.
I have never had a NTE (Not To Exceed) one year DoDEA teaching position. Is offering NTE Teaching positions a new trend for DoDEA jobs?

@alifant my NTE had no benefits. Also, if you except an NTE postion, your application in EAS remains active and you are listed as an internal temporary applicant. I still recieved referrals while NTE.
HelpOthers
NTE positions are usually filled by local applicants, because most people don't want to move for only one year and would likely have to pay for their own relocation.

My masters degree is MS in Education. 20 years ago I was simply looking for lane movement for extra pay not for prepping for future positions. Looking at positions in PD Coaching is intriguing
HelpOthers
Having a masters degree plus five years in a related field is the minimum requirement for most ISS positions. If interested, search USAjobs.gov
