There is a penalty for persons receiving more than one pension. It is called the "Double Dip" retirement penalty. Vested in several Teacher retirement systems, my Social Security pension will be reduced by some percentage of my state teacher pensions. This percentage is calculated by ever changing Social Security regulations. Supposedly, the DoDEA ...See More

Where did you see this? Did you apply at the DoDEA website, or was it through USA jobs? I am trying to see if mine says the same thing.
haha
Generally on the main application tab in the upper left hand corner. They often also send an email telling you.

As far as (1) goes send the Employment Verification form and a self address stamped envelope to the Human Resource Department. They will fill in the information for all your work experience in the district I sent EV to 3 different counties, it took about two weeks for 2 to get back and im still waiting on the third.
haha
Only full time teacher of record experience counts. Agree that HR and/or district will/should take care of the form. As long as your years are right it doesn't matter for salary purposes.

I would say just make sure you disclose the arrest.

I already interviewed, and I did not say anything, but I also did not have an area in the application where I could discuss it. The interview went so well, I just didn't want to mess it up. I looked up the offenses types of offenses that they consider and it seemed as though only sexual offenses and violent or drug offenses were considered as deal ...See More

Always keep interviewing until you have an offer in hand.

The same exact thing happened to me, and the weird thing is that it was a referral to the same base for the same position. Weird, right?

thank you for that info! do you know if we got a job offer in the US, would they move us if our permanent address was germany? thanks again
haha
You can be hired while living/working overseas and receive RAT, LQA, relocation, etc. but it is not always straightforward and/or guaranteed. Generally the thresh hold for qualifying is that your current overseas employer offered you relocation and housing as an incentive to relocate overseas.

Most of the interviews I have had with DoDDS were the same 7 questions (e.g. Why DoDDS?, Tell me about a successful lesson you did with planning, differentiation, assessment, Tell me about a time you had a challenging situation and how you dealt with it, Tell me etc).
Even whe...See More

My transcripts were evaluated in less than a week. I think it will depend on what time of year you are submitting.
BubbleHead
Thanks for the information. I submitted social studies in May but haven't been evaluated yet. I just had my military credits evaluated by Excelsior College (I got 21 science credits from them) so I have to take a class there before i can get an official transcripts from them showing all my science classes.

Generally you would get some type of pension benefit after 5 years with DoDEA but the details beyond that can be complicated.
