DODD Teachers Chatboard

haha Generally, no, DoDEA does not hire teachers with no actual experience of successful teaching (unless they are a local hire/military spouse and/or did their student teaching with DoDEA and have some personal connections). The bottom line is that they generally have so many candidates with education AND experience in the system that they can intervie...See More

AP pool

Mar 12, 2018

Did anyone apply for the AP pool positions? I was deemed "qualified" about a month or so ago, and we were supposed to have already gotten our scores back, but have received nothing yet. Just curious if anyone has any info. I called the person listed on the notice sent out, but she doesn't have voicemail and never answers....

Course Prefix

by Chrissy

Mar 16, 2018

Does anyone know if courses need to have a certain prefix to count toward an additional qual area? For example, would History courses need to have a HIST prefix? Or does an EDUC prefix work as long as the course title is obviously a history course?

haha History falls under Social Studies so you would generally need 30 hours of SS including the specified classes (U.S. history, world history, political science, and physical geography). If you had state certification in SS then you would generally only need 15 hours of SS (including the specified classes).

Generally, HR is fairly picky about...See More

Email contact

I'm sure that I have seen email contacts in here before, but now can't find any! Does anybody have an email contact for the evaluators? My files were last evaluated 12-22-17 by DP, and I've added additional coursework since then. Or is there a general email that I can contact?

southernteach Yes who Haha gave is who I talked to. She was more helpful than the analyst but to be honest none of the people I talked to were super helpful. Maybe I just got the wrong ones. Hope she can help you. She should at least be able to tell you what you may need to get a certain qualification (what you may be missing class wise) or if a class would work...See More

HopefulTeacher Well, I sent off 2 emails yesterday, one to Donna and one to general EAS email. I got a reply from the general email saying they get thousands of applicants, and it may take months to be reevaluated again. :(

Base doctors?

by Curious

Mar 8, 2018

If you are stateside, are there doctors on base that you can use or do you have to use off base doctors? We're interested in a few areas that aren't really near any big cities.

tabmg This may vary by base- when I was in Okinawa I saw a doctor on base, in Korea as well. In the UK we used the local medical system- by choice- but once went to the base ER on Lakenheath. My daughter also received additional vaccines on base because the base schools require the full US list and UK health services does not administer all of those. I d...See More

haha Yes, most bases overseas offer at least some medical base access for teachers (although they are making it more difficult/inconvenient in many locations).

The OP's question was really about DoDEA teachers on stateside bases.
