HelpOthersWhen clicking the "qualification area," if they are asking about experience, it would be based on that specific qualification. so if LIMS, by itself then Yes. If LIMS elementary, LIMS middle, LIMS secondary, then say yes for the ones that apply and no for those that do not.
netplaynI ask because one of my references stated they had not received a request from the 2nd school (they did complete one for the 1st school). That kind of threw me for a loop.
HelpOthersThe application itself requests a reference. Schools may or may not request additional references.

How many years does the DODEA give teachers? I have 11 years of service in the US as a fully licensed teacher and was just put on two referral lists (fingers crossed for an interview)!
I am setting up my shipment of goods. It says I am not authorized for professional books and equipment. Does that mean I cannot bring my teaching supplies???
hahaNo, somewhat ironically, the professional books and equipment allowance is one of the few things that applies to active duty personnel but not teachers.
Any advice is appreciate...See MoreSpecial Education teacher looking for a job in Europe. Do most SPED openings (LIMM/LIMS) occur after the start of the school year overseas?
I seem to have missed out on the summer hiring and I'm debating whether to accept a stateside position or substitute in hopes something will open up early in the year.
I'm thinking ahead to certificate renewal (I'm certified in WV and my license expires in 2024). In my state, we have to take 6 hours of masters level courses or free, state-provided PD courses. They're all a pain in the butt, time-consuming, and honestly, at least right now, I don't have the money to pay for a masters (or the desire to do it). I'm wondering how teachers with DoDEA (or especially teachers who have taught abroad in other, non-DoDEA schools) have gone about renewing their teaching licenses while they're abroad. What options are there that might be worth starting the process toward?
I know that New Jersey has a permanent certificate, and California requires renewal, but no classes, only a fee every 5 (I think?) years. Wondering if anyone in US has gotten certified in these (or other) states to make renewal easier/cheaper?
HelpOthersAs haha mentioned. DoDEA requires 6 semester hours anyway (every 6 years). You can also increase your pay with MA+15, MA+30, or go ahead and get your PhD (Ed.S. is a pay column stateside).
HelpOthersMany people use Liberty University for a degree. University of San Diego is the one that DoDEA often uses for providing graduate credit to the classes offered for professional development. Just make sure whatever you do provides college credit and not just continuing education hours.
I am also finding that I receive many emails about being placed on referral lists, with no interview offers. I am starting to feel that when I get a referral list email that the job has already been through the interview process.
So for someone with 0 DoDEA experience, the highest starting steps are step 5 and step 11.
Add your DoDEA experience and you would be on step 12 for US/Territories.
In foreign countries, Steps 15, 16, 17, and 18 are longevity steps payable upon completion of: 4 years of service in steps 14, 15, 16, and 17 respectively.
Therefore, starting with step 11, then adding 2 of the 7 to get to 13. Add 4 of the remaining 5 to finish step 14 and the final 1 puts you on the first year of step 15. That is correct.
