What is the highest step a teacher can enter in the DOD for both stateside and overseas? Thanks.

haha
Stateside, 5 years is the max credit you can get and you start at Step 0, so Step 5 is the highest step you can be hired at. Overseas, 10 years is the max credit you can get and everyone starts on Step 1 so Step 11 is the highest step you can be hired at.
HelpOthers
haha is correct and the American Territories (Guam and Puerto Rico) are on the same schedule as the Americas, so step 5. When you switch from one area to the other your position will go up or down if you start with more than 5 years of experience.

You can request up to four evaluations, so just list this person as the fourth one. Use a different spelling or phone number, so when this person says the reference has been updated, you can delete the previous one.
HelpOthers
For example, use or don't use a title or middle name/initial for the person or put the area code in parenthesis this time, or don't if ou did it last time. The information for both is correct, but slightly different so you know which one to delete.

I do recall someone (I think it was Mary) cautioning people.regarding the documents. The date "last updated" should apparently coincide with the "SY considered" years. Hers did not for a year or two and I recall that she felt this kept her from being considered during those years.

Yes, I did caution. My application had green check marks, and showed I was qualified. However, I didn't realize that the date to the right of my transcript was for a previous school-year, so even though it looked active, it was not.

Your evaluator person is Lauren Sugierski ( see initials LS). Send her an email at Lauren.Sugierski@hq.dodea.edu She is very helpful and will clarify everything for you. 9 SH is about 3 courses of 3 credits each. As long as they can not identify on your transcripts a min of 9SH of teacher educ course work , you won't be considered qualified. I also...See More

Look up your university course catalog from the years you earned the credits. Send those pages as another transcript or e-mail them if you have been asked for an e-mail. Make sure you send them the pages that have the descriptions of your music and education classes, so they can determine whether you meet their minimum requirements.

Ask to join the DoD FB page. There have been some conversations about moving from DDESS to DoDEA.
HelpOthers
When you go from DDESS to DoDDS (DoDEA Americas to DoDEA...) your administrator will know almost as soon as you do that you have been hired. You will need to work things out with your administrator, but with the length of time it is taking for background checks, if your HR person says you have to go through it again, do NOT resign until you have or...See More

IsitFriday? is correct. You would start on step 11 (first year with no experience is step 1) for DoDEA Pacific or Europe unless you were in Guam or Puerto Rico. These American Territories are under pay scales negotiated with the DoDEA Americas pay scales. You would start at step 5 there (first year with no experience is step 0). If you move from on...See More

I know at least one person in a professional position who chooses to wear long sleeves to cover tattoos, but it is not required.

I from TN and currently living in Memphis and teaching with Shelby Co. The pay is not that much different from Shelby Co with a bachelors but there is a big jump with masters. If you work in a smaller district in TN I'm sure the pay jump would be significant. Plus, like mentioned above, no rent or utilities. I was a local hire in Korea for 2 years ...See More

Fort Campbell is partly in TN if you are anywhere near there, you might look into working there if you decide to stay stateside.

So they combined hearing impaired with visually impaired? I believe that may be a hard combo to find. Oh well. Thanks for updating me haha.

*Make sure you are qualified in EAS for VI* Continue to check USA Jobs. If you ever see a position posted in USA Jobs, make sure you write a Government resume. This type of resume is much longer than the usual non-government one. It should show that you have the experience or training mentioned in the job posting. Similarly, when you post your appl...See More

No one here is exactly sure how it works (if they know for certain, please enlighten us). Maybe someone in admin has a better idea. My understanding is that competency points are a result of some combination of your answers on the skills/activities/additional experience information areas of your EAS, your level of education and your years of experi...See More

Vet preference only helps when competing against other non-DoDEA applicants, I think. I have heard that it has become much more difficult for principals to ignore Vet preference and they have to really support with the documentation why their non-Vet should be hired, but even then, I would say close to half, maybe more, people I meet in DoDEA were ...See More
