Scholar or Haha, do you have to use the books? I haven't used one since maybe my second year teaching. My students usually ask me a couple of months in why we don't use the books if I have them. I usually call them shelf decorations :) They are actually kinda pretty sitting their brand new.
ScholarI personally don't teach bio but our biology classes are in genetics right now with ecology coming around the bend. I haven't looked into the standards, scope and sequence to know if it's in draft even but heard we are updating textbooks within the next two years so maybe it will come with that.
somedayThanks for the info so it looks like the same order as the standards are listed in and the same as I do now. So that should be an easy transition.
Can anyone repost a link to them? I have been searching and having trouble. I know there is a post with some standard questions that are asked for DODEA jobs but I can't find it for the life of me.
southernteachYes it went very well (I think) I just know they didn't ask these. I remember two of them. Have you ever been in an itinerant teaching job? (This job is regional) Tell me all the technology you are familiar with using/teaching with this particular population?
I received a tentative offer for a position in Germany. I am so excited and actually scared out of my mind. I wish all of you the best of luck in this journey and hope it happens for you too!
JayI used La Verne University in California for my other credits and I working on completing them. They are self paced and reasonably priced. You can move through them pretty quick.
HelpOthersAZPsych, make sure your application in EAS is active and check USA Jobs regularly or have set up automated e-mails for when DoDEA school Psychology positions are announced.
Does anyone know how long it will be before I don't need my line of sight? It seems as though the other 4 teachers who started with me already got their background checks back, and I am still waiting on mine... starting to get nervous. I have been working since January...
hahaMy impression is that they generally check after the interviews but I have heard of it happening differently for different people (like most things associated with the process).
hahaVirtually all interviews seem to be done over the phone. I'm not really sure why that other option is there but maybe it was more common in years past (just like they used to have a "job fair" type event at HQ in years past).
