My start date that I can arrive 7 days before or after is Aug 2. I am looking at flying out July 25th. Technically that is 8 days before, but we would arrive in Germany on the 26th, 7 days before. Will that be approved?
I can email and ask them, but with it being a weekend this forum may be quicker to respond.
Quantico is in Northern Virginia, so the c...See MoreLaurel Bay is a beautiful area in Beaufort, SC (near Myrtle Beach). I think it's a smaller location that does not have a high school, but when living in the USA, the off base high schools can offer more programs usually. There are only two schools, so it is small in comparison to other locations.
Quantico is in Northern Virginia, so the cost of living is much higher than in South Carolina. However it is close to DC and may have more opportunities for spousal employment.
To be honest, both locations would be great locations in my opinion.
Hi everyone, I have a question. I've hit a referral list in Japan for a k-2 position and I'm wonder if my child with scoliosis will be able to be seen by a specialist there. He is in a brace but the curve is getting better. Thanks for any advice.
Sunnyluring@Icanread. It is Yokosuka, it seems to be a large base. If the case doesn't have the specialist will we be referred onto the economy? Thanks for any advice.
Anyone have experience getting their USAREUR license online before arriving in German? The website says we need a JKO account but would need our dodea.edu email to do that. I had read we could take the test before arriving, is that true?
somedayYour sponsor can set up an account for you so you can do the course, practice test, and final test. I think it's no sooner than 30 days prior to licensing. I recommend you don't take the test until 15 days before departure just in case you can't get the license right away.
Please make sure you have completed your application in EAS. Even though it says "teacher" vacancies, school psychology positions are also filled through EAS.
HelpOthersFollow the "EAS" link in the first paragraph of the page linked below even though it says "Teachers" it is also used to hire school counselors, school nurses, and a few other non-teachers.
They will generally arrange and pay for the travel/tickets for you and your family. Once at the new location you generally receive TQSA to pay for lodging/a hotel until you get into a house or apt. For that, you generally pay for lodging and food and submit requests for reimbursement every 10 days.
As for on or off base, it will vary by specific location, at least in Japan. Some locations require one or the other, some off you the choice (but the options or lack of them can also change every few years). I can't really speak to Korea.
I will be graduating next year with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (grades 1-6) and a Bachelor's in Liberal Studies with a reading concentration. I will be licensed to teach in Massachusetts. I will also be completing an accelerated Master's program and will have my Mater's in Moderate Disabilities (graes preK-8) one year after finishing my Bachelors degree.
With these degrees, is there any chance I would receive a job or at least an interview? I know that having teaching experience would make me more qualified, however I think that I personally would prefer to move abroad earlier in my career. I recently spent four months studying at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic and know that teaching abroad is something I want to do. While I know there are other programs that might be less competitive, the benefits of the DoDEA are really attractive to me.
(1) To be LQA-eligible, individuals (including former Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) educators) returning to the U.S. from DoD employment overseas must physically reside in the U.S. or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands from the time he/she applied for employment until he/she accepted a formal offer of employment.
I read on here, somewhere, that it was suggested to reach out and contact the school if you received a referral. Thoughts on contacting the district Sup. if you do not know the exact school? What to say? Has anyone done this before for an admin role? Wondering if it matters

Yes, if you are applying for an administrator position, include a cover letter, references, a resume that shows you have all the experience you say you have in the questionnaire related to the application- this could mean a 5-10 page resume- follow the suggestions in USA Jobs for creating a resume.

Yes, if you are applying for an administrator position, include a cover letter, references, a resume that shows you have all the experience you say you have in the questionnaire related to the application- this could mean a 5-10 page resume- follow the suggestions in USA Jobs for creating a resume. It really does need to include the information mentioned in the requirements to even be considered qualified by HR before a list is sent to the District Superintendent's Office. If you can find a way to contact the DSO secretary rather than directly contacting the Sups and chief of staff, that might be better, but as long as you have everything in USA Jobs, you obviously want the position (unlike EAS where the application is from a pool of applicants that may not be interested in that location). When the district is the one doing the choosing and interviewing, they may decide the location for that individual after interviewing for several different locations, rather than interviewing for just one exact location at a time. This way one interview will work for all the possible vacancies, especially as one person is moved and the domino effect occurs.
