I saw some people talk about The University of La Verne for classes but I am curious which ones to take that can qualify me for more severe disabilities in Sp.ED?
haha
Generally if it has severe, physical, mentally challenged (or similar term) in the name you are safe. Often if it is in the course description they will also take it. I have also had them count classes focusing on augmentative communication towards Moderate to Severe and Physical.
When in doubt, get a list of possible classes and email HR ...See More

I tried to comment on this the other day, but have been having problems. If you will scroll down through a few more posts (or type in teachers.net/laverne) you will see where I posted what my HR person told me about those courses.

If you have not completed your two year provisional period you can be non-renewed without cause/explanation, whether your current school is closing or not. This is relatively rare though.
As for being excessed (with or without your school closing), they could send you home as they are not obligated to place you in a another position if yo...See More

We are confused somewhat about all of the different benefits/pay you get from working for the DoDEA. Some of the numbers just seem too good to be ...See More

@ Dan:
Generally 90 days is the longest they will provide TQSA. The percentage they will reimburse decreases every 30 days but generally will still cover lodging and a nice chunk of food (I know because we used all 90 when arriving at one of our posts and waiting for the house we wanted to be ready).

To save the expense of you traveling on your own dime, let your wife come, stay in temporary housing up to 90 days, if unable to find suitable housing; hold off on sending your household goods until closer to the 90 days, so you have more time in your home with your furniture on your end; and let your wife choose a house without you.

If you are above step 5 with Dodea and go back to the states to work for DDESS, do you start on the same step you were on overseas, or is 5 still the max?
HelpOthers
When you switch from one to the other, they review your years and place you on their pay scale accordingly. So, if you started with 5 years or less of non-DoDEA experience, nothing much changes. However, if you started with 10 years of non-DoDEA experience and were on step 13 with DoDEA Pac/Eur (Cuba-not Guam or PR) and switch to DoDEA Americas (no...See More

Fill out your EAS (and upload your documents/request references). Wait and hope.

You can change the year of interest to 2019-2020 if you do not want to be considered before then. EAS is the Electronic Application System on the dodea.edu website.

The Stateside payscales tend to be higher with more steps and an EdS has its own pay lane, unlike overseas. There is no relocation assistance or financial compensation. I moved twice stateside, so speaking from experience.

I'm far from an expert on stateside benefits but maybe some posters with first hand experience can post. As far as I recall, there is no compensation for relocation, housing, post allowance, etc. with stateside DoDEA. Some locations will allow some access to base facilities but basically it's salary, set rates for insurance, retirement, etc. Maybe ...See More

You can find a great deal of information by following different links on the dodea.edu website, but feel free to ask questions here.
haha
You should keep calling if you have any questions you think only HR can answer or if you are not comfortable posting them on a public forum.
Otherwise, post any questions you have here and we will try and answer them as best as we can.
