I noticed last year elementary teachers were getting hired that had compensatory math and/or reading in addition to their elementary qual. You should check those boxes also and when they do your evaluation they will let you know what you need if anything.

I agree. You will want to add something other than the 1-6 certification. Also, make sure to update your application each year you continue to be interested if you are not chosen this year.

Thanks, for the advice.

You would get the percentage of pay that you are working. So if you are 0.5 position, you would earn 0.5x salary. However, the benefits are different. If you can get benefits through your spouse, it may be better. The government only pays 0.5xtheir normal share of your benefits. If you look at the benefits sheet, the goverment pays a much larger sh...See More

You can ask HR if the position has been filled. Sometimes, there is a delay if the person initially offered the job declines the offer, or later pulls out after they have accepted the offer. See if you application is still active. If your application is frozen or on hold, that is an indicator that you may be offered a position.

I was qualified for MS & HS English and HS Social Studies. However, I am surprised I was qualified to teach HS SS because my degree is in Sociology, not history (but I have taught World History). I think Humanities is the qualification that best fits me (Literature, SOCY, PSYC)--- that is pending right now. I am going to take Journalism and Spe...See More

Make sure you update EAS each Feb-March. RE-upload your transcripts and teaching certificate EACH year. Even if nothing has changed, because this triggers the hiring year as well (the next column on the page). Also apply through USA Jobs whenever there is an applicable position posted.

On your EAS application you can select the regions/countries you want to be considered for.

There are three tabs where you designate the locations you are willing to work. Look in all three tabs and check all that apply to you.

I'm not sure you can be that specific about your target job on the EAS. I would put down SPED categories along with the SS. SS/SPED combos are fairly rare but not unheard of. I would also try and add the AVID if you can, just to have one more area that is fairly easy to add to the SS.

In EAS, you can list the positions you believe you are qualified to teach and can include the special education positions there. Also, there is a narrative box on the page with all the questions about experience. You could type what you want in the narrative box. Additionally, USA Jobs has posted teaching positions (may just be fishing for more app...See More

I have accepted a position in Catania, Italy off the mediterranean coast and had a few questions. I greatly appreciate any insight anyone can offer:
1) I understand there is some kind of program for teachers to move between schools, I can't imagine there would be anywhere else I would want to go but I understand that my loca...See More

Sigonella is a hardship location due to it being on an island at the southern tip of Italy. To fly anywhere, you have to first fly to the mainland, for connections.

1) The description already given of the Transfer Round is accurate. You would not be pushed from your position to hire someone from the transfer round. People using the transfer are hired for vacancies only. However, if numbers decrease your position might no longer be needed and you would be excessed. This would allow you to transfer elsewhere if ...See More

Thanks, T.Rob. We are both plugging away and hoping one of us will get hired in the next couple of years. I know the experience would be fantastic for the kids. They are young, but not babies, so the right time for us. Best of luck to you too!

As for the diversity question, DoDEA schools tend to be more diverse than other schools. Think of military families. :)

We applied for our official passports at a US consulate while living overseas and they did not require that we give up our tourist passports (which was a good thing as we would have felt fairly vulnerable without them there).

Yep, they were both for psych jobs. I applied in January 2017, and updated my application in January 2018.
HelpOthers
AZPsych. You actually won't have an option. If they both want you, it will depend which one HR sees first and offers you. If you turn down an offer, you won't be given another offer the rest of the year, so take the one you get. :) Hopefully the one you want works faster than the other, but they are both great places to live and work.
