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.
I accidentally locked myself out of my account, but I can't find a way to contact someone at human resources, does anyone have any ideas? When I clicked the link that states contact chra, it went to an error page.
HelpOthersDid you lock yourself out or was your application locked? If you have interviewed recently, it may be that they are ready to contact you with an offer.
This is the e-mail connected with the "contact us"
Secondary math, for example, would include courses such as Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus. What kind of courses would be included in secondary computer science in a DODD school?
(Yes, General, the future of cybersecurity in America is safe. Look at this long list of courses we offer in our DoDEA schools. Sleep well, knowing that we are training the cyber warriors of the future!)
And then there is reality. Most of our high schools have very few computer science offerings. And what they offer never seems to amount to anything, meaning that it's simply a credit on a kid's transcript. It doesn't lead to competence.
Sure, you can find a gem in the rough, a school with a good computer science program. But for every one of those, we have three or four schools simply going through the motions of offering computer science.
Even the good programs fall apart eventually, usually when the particular Comp Sci teacher transfers to her dream job in Italy.
There seems to be zero driving force from above to sustain a "good" computer science program.
ecd5I emailed Ms. McNair who is the HR specialist in the Americas and she said that if the forms were no longer in my EAS I must've deleted them (not true) and possibly they files were not transferred to my OPF (true)
