DoD insurance may help, but I would think using the local national insurance may be more helpful, depending on what the needs are.

I believe she would have the option of either/both types of insurance but I don't know for certain. Probably one for HR or a teacher with a Japanese spouse.

On the EAS application system, this section allows you to select what schools you are interested in. I want to select all the schools in Japan (because I am willing to move anywhere), however, it seems to only let me select a certain region and the schools within that smaller region. Is thier something that I am doing wrong? I would...See More

I think (as you probably saw) that as a local hire you can only apply to a few schools and would only be considered for those schools in all likelihood. Since you are willing to go anywhere in Japan, it seems to make more sense to go World wide with Japan as your only target country.

HAHA, thank you so much for all of your help. If I ever get to meet you in person at one of the openings in Japan, I will certainly treat you and yours to a delicious dinner. I will be moving with my wife, and all of this information has been a big help to getting to the next step.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was trying to say, if you are a stateside hire for an overseas position (so technically a CONUS hire) then your provisional two years would generally be served wherever you were assigned. If they moved you due to excess after one year, you would serve the 2nd year wherever you were and would then be moved to permanent.

Agreed. The provisional period is two years at any Dodea school. A friend was "excessed" her first year and hired at the elementary on her complex and was off probation the beginning of 3rd year. If you think about we work for Dodea not the school so the probational period is tied to them.

The sogiorno is a very big deal. Indeed, there have been instances of DoD & military folks denied entry because of claimed status but without the right visa. In many countries, there is no SOFA visa.
Laura
Human Resources will walk you through the visa process. They will have you get your official passports and then you will mail those to HR and they will take them to the italian embassy to get the visas. Then they will mail them back to you. I just did this is Jan. It was only a two week process for me but I've heard of it taking a lot longer. The s...See More

On the DoD Teachers FB someone posted a link to this site which makes it seem like it is already something we do not really need to worry about:

Still worth keeping an eye on on though.

From what I've read, you usually don't get any notification if you were not selected. Please keep us posted. For which job and location were you interviewed?
haha
You sometimes get an email that tells you that you were unsuccessful but generally not. HR will often not consider that you were not selected until someone else has been selected AND received their firm offer (which can obliviously take a while).
If you haven't heard anything within a couple of weeks, you can try emailing the principal. Th...See More

bem, I worked with my student teaching coordinator to submit the application (the only odd part is where it asks for an address for where you will stay). I didn't secure housing, so I am waiting to see if I am accepted. The due date for applications for Fall 2018 is April 30, so it may be too late if you haven't started (e.g., you need to include a...See More
