Do foreign language courses count towards the humanities cert?
haha
I don't believe so: Applicant must have completed a minimum of 9 SH in other related fields such as: humanities, art, music, history, drama, theater, literature, dance, or philosophy.

Actually there are guidelines for suitability as well outlined in 5 CFR 731. If you are disqualified for any of these reasons you most likely wouldn't have a teaching job anywhere.

Good to know. I was referred for a position and would love the opportunity to interview.

Haha, do you know how many credits/classes I should take to qualify for Sped? I know once I had 4 college classes in Early Childhood I was then considered "qualified" to teach EC, which is the grade level I want to teach for DODEA. I'm just trying to see if I should take a couple of Sped class at my local community college. Thanks
haha
Generally you need 30 credit hours for each of the different SPED areas. If you have state certification in SPED (some states allow you to test into it) you usually only need half of that number.

Make sure your application matches the requirements listed for the position. If you apply through USA Jobs, make sure your resume documents all the needed criteria.

@Kelly - Thank you! I am heading to the Pacific Region. I agree with @Mary. Pay attention to the language of the requirements and support it in your resume. Best wishes!

I need an online college, or online courses, to get two add-ons. They need to offer SPED classes and Reading classes. Can anyone recommend an accredited college that will count towards my state certification and DODEA? Preferably one that does not cost 4 thousand a semester. MUCH cheaper would be much appreciated!! Thank you in advance!

cubs1977, do they do financial aid and go towards putting your student loans in deferment?
America77
Sara, I'm almost positive they don't offer financial aid for the continuing ed courses. They were cheap enough for me that I didn't look into that. As to the student loan thing, I don't think so, but that would be a technical question for them. I did not request that and it did not happen. The classes take anywhere from 3-6 weeks, so any deferment ...See More

I am a .7 high school teacher and this is my second year in the Music department . I received an email from the assistant superintendent's secretary this last Friday asking me to come in for a meeting with the AS. I got back to them today. Meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. When I asked what it was in reference to, they said it's...See More

It may be a change in position or reduction in force. If you are RIFed, they usually try to place you elsewhere, although that's usually for full time positions. Your best bet is to wait, rather than speculate and worry.

I think it is too late in the year to be fired/RIFed, but they could be adjusting your current position.

I apologize for the typos. Autocorrect isn't always helpful ;-)

It seems all the vets get on the referral list first. Also, people with the most certifications, even if not related to the position, make it on the list next.

Does anyone have any idea how much veteran's preference and/or international teaching experience can play in the hiring process? As a long time lurker here, I know that elementary certified teachers are a dime a dozen but I feel my personality is best suited for the 9-11 year old crowd (though my current principal thinks I could be successful with ...See More

Vet preference puts you at the top of a list. Principals have to go through a long process to NOT hire you
haha
Veteran's preference is helpful. Opinions vary as to just how significant of an advantage it is (I have heard of a fair amount of vets who interviewed and then a non-vet ended up getting the job but have no idea of the details or what other factors may have been involved). Principals do have to justify their decision if they do not hire a vet from ...See More
