The weather is pretty nice. Not too humid or to hot or cold. If you are not currently there, you will need to relocate yourself.
You can choose to live on post and have your children attend DoDEA schools. If you do this, you pay rent which includes a basic amount for utilities and are reimbursed if you you tend to go under or pay if you tend to go over. You can probably check their rental prices online.
If you live off base, Elizabethtown is not a bad location, but many people complained about Brandenburg.
Income tax in KY is pretty low, but it does exist, and some retirement income (SS) are exempt or (others) reduced
Its not far if you want to go to Louisville on the weekend, but too far to comfortably commute.
In DoSELF, US citizens teach only non-US citizens in schools located in a foreign nation.
Offered a DoSELF (Dept of State English Language Fellowship) to teach students 08/22/2021-06/22/2022 in Estonia while salaried from the US Embassy in Estonia. Like DoDEA, teachers receive living allowance, round-trip airfare for spouse and dependents from the US Government. Job positions are matched to host nation's request to US Embassy for subject matter teachers licensed in the US. The foreign school gets an US Embassy vetted educator at no cost to the school for ten months.
Any info about CAC ID cards, Official US Passports, driving licenses for DoSELF Teachers?
Dr. Ali FantI am not familiar with EDIS. Please explain. Although DoSELF selected me as only teacher for Estonia, Estonia just halted the exchange this week awaiting "further development.s." Possible CoVID related? I am back in the pool of DoSELF candidates.
I am already qualified as SLP and assessor with MS + 50 (various sped area credits). Could I attempt to qualify for PSCD, virtual school and special education assessor? I have classes/experience but no MS in sped.
If I attempt to add these 3 areas to my EAS application and I am found to be NOT qualified, will this remain on my application and hurt future chances for a SLP position?
Can areas in which I am NOT qualified be removed from my application?
The areas you put on the application won't hurt you unless you are deemed qualified for a position you don't actually want to ever do. Once you receive DoDEA certification for those areas, you could be placed in any of those positions based on the needs of the school, district, region, or DoDEA as a whole.
What are the rules for Germany and vaccinations? Same for DODEA? I know DODEA used to have exemptions for religious reasons...is this still the case? (Please no lectures, political views, etc. Trying to get info.) Thanks.
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.
To avoid the duplicate posts, only click "comment" once. Then refresh your page a few times or open teachers.net in a new tab to see that your comment has gone through.
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.
