It's time to update your Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) application in the Employment Application System (EAS) for School Year (SY) 2024/2025. Everyone is required to update ONLINE, no matter how recently your application was submitted. Please complete your annual update by 11:00pm CST on January 28th, 2024. Recruitment for the 24/25 SY will begin January 29th, 2024, however, your application will not receive consideration until your update is complete. Once your application is updated/finalized you will begin receiving consideration for future vacancies.
When updating your application, please do not forget to change the year of consideration to SY 2024/2025 and update your availability date in the Target Location and Date (Overseas/Stateside) section of your application.
You must ensure all aspects of your application are true, up-to-date and reflects your ability, experience, and training as accurately as possible. All 9 sections must be updated. Once you have reviewed each section, click "submit". A green check mark will appear next to the section to confirm it has been successfully submitted. A green check mark will also appear next to "Finalize your application" to confirm that your application has been finalized. Applications must be complete and finalized to receive consideration.
**Before submitting, be sure to update the School Year to 2024/2025 to be considered**
If you have questions regarding your application, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page within EAS.
If you are a local applicant residing in the overseas area on sponsors orders (Military or Civilian), you must attach a copy of your sponsor's orders to your EAS application. The orders should be labeled under Military Spouse Preference.
Worldwide applicants that wish to be considered for overseas positions must choose every country where they are willing to work. If an opening becomes available for a location that you have not selected, you will not be considered for that opening.
Applicants must provide at least 3 evaluations. If you are a Current/Former DoDEA employee, please ensure that you obtain and upload a DoDEA 5011 Professional Evaluation from your current or last former DoDEA principal/supervisor to your EAS application.
If interested in 0090 Pre-Kindergarten and previously found not qualified, please review updated qualifications below and mark the teaching category as 're-evaluate'.

I am filling out a DoDEA application for teaching and I'm filling out the work experience section. It states that your salary is determined by your years of related experience (I'm assuming this is teaching experience) and education level.
It also says, that if you feel that you should be credited for external experience to fill out form DoDEA Form 5013.
A) What is "external experience"? Is this experience not related to teaching? It wasn't clear to me.
B) More importantly, do we need to fill out this Form 5013 for every school or work experience entry in order to get credited for years of experience? Do you not just get credited years of experience based on your work history?
Basically, I'm just trying to figure out will I be credited for my years of experience via what I list in my work experience section, or if I need to submit one of these forms for each of my employers to be credited for my years of experience.
What is the probationary period for new Dodea teachers? Has it changed recently to one year? If so, when did that take effect? Do veterans have a shorter probation?
Is a there a current DoDEA Teacher Class Lesson Plan requirement we are supposed to use? My principal is new to DoDEA school this year and I don't want to give any ideas to increase my workload by paperwork that will be filed away and never read by any human.

When there was a transfer round, you could see the number of positions open for transfers every year and then extrapolate that those transfers would leave that approximate number of holes to be filled by new hires (plus retirements, PCS moves, etc).
I agree that there are fewer students and fewer overall teaching positions. Does it necessarily follow that the actual yearly turnover from retirements, PSC moves etc. is significantly less? Maybe. But since none of us have the numbers, you could make a case that it is less, but not necessarily drastically less.
What do the two letter codes mean in Block 10 of one's SF 50? DoDEA has me at "CG" - Corporate Grade. The Kunsan job requires a "GG" code as one of two Eligibilities I qualify for on the job application. The job was only open for two days -- the shortest I have seen in all my federal employments. I made the deadline and am waiting for the review to see if I understood all the eligibility questions.
In October, the base conducted their second ...See MoreThis has been a most interesting time for me in my post-federal retirement journey with DoDEA. Other "rehired-retired" teachers at my school receive their SS Pension and their FERS Pension -- both of which increase every year as present inflated salaries replace lower salaries in previous years.
In October, the base conducted their second NEO (Non-combatant Evacuation Order) in many a year. Then we have the semi-regular NK missile launches over Japan. Then the National US Emergency Broadcast 10/4 (which activated for my friends' smartphones in South America -- but not on US smartphones in Japan). The Gaza invasion of Israel and multiple nations declaring their allegiances with several nations legally declaring war.
The result has been teachers preparing to leave for stateside and DoDEA openings being announced. Teachers' written intentions to leave or stay are due now. This is a really good time to be in the DoDEA EAS system and have your USAJOBS application ready to send upon receiving a daily Job Agent email from USAJOBS. True, the USAJOBS application will point you to the DoDEA EAS system, but as my current DoDEA job proves, I was direct hired without even an interview. Sometimes the USG is desperate to fill positions.
hahaThis from the gov't website. It should allow you to enter the information about your situation and get an accurate idea of the COLA you will/would receive.
