HopefulTeacherDoes anybody have information about teaching gifted with DODDS? Do kids take IQ tests? Are they serviced for a certain amount of hours? Is there a set curriculum? After receiving these emails, I would really like to pursue this for next schoolyear.
I interviewed for the Fort Campbell base. Would I be allowed to live on base? If so, are the prices listed for military only, or would I be eligible? Would everything be included for me as well, (utilities, etc) or is there a different price for civilians?
teacherlife62411SpedTeacher74 - no. It was for the middle school. Mahaffrey Middle School. The interview went SUPER well.... I only wish I had an idea of how long it takes to hear back from HR. She DID warn me that since it was the Federal Government, that it would probably be a while. :-(
I pay realtor fees, first + last month + security deposit while overseas. Do I get reimbursed for any of that right away? Or is this considered just a cost?
hahaYou generally would get reimbursed (including realtor fees) for everything except the deposit (which will come back directly to you when you move out).
hahaIt's generally very competitive and having multiple certifications definitely helps. That being said, hundreds of people get hired every year and some of them will likely only have one certification area, so anything is possible.
Just submitted my application. Waiting on applications. On one hand I feel like I am too early in the process and on the other hand I feel like its just a waiting game. Next steps for me?
BubbleHeadColiveira77, I am in the process of applying myself so my knowledge is based on reading a years worth of this forum. The only thing I can answer 100% is to have the transcripts sent to you, they will be request at a later time. haha, is the current resident guru.
Also talk to your current scho...See MoreHave you switched your target location to your new posting yet? That's the only way a principal in the area could know that you were going to be available as a local hire. Also, if you have not already you should email the principal(s) in the area to introduce yourself and let them know of your availability.
Also talk to your current school secretary and see if you can maintain your sub status when you move, as opposed to starting all over again once you get to your new location (answers vary and it doesn't hurt to ask).
southernteachHaha I hope they will consider me. I finish my class in November and will submit my transcripts to HR. They have told me I can then compete for both LIMM/VI. I'm taking it from Grand Canyon like you had suggested. Here's to hoping!!
My understanding with stateside DoDEA (formerly DDESS) is that you would generally get 5 years credit towards your salary step. The scale starts at zero so you would start at Step 5 on the Masters salary lane ($63,000)
