No e-mail to update our apps yet. Should I go on and change my school year consideration to 21-22 or just wait for the e-mail? I saw on Facebook that someone just got a referral.
It's time to update your Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) application in the Employment Application System (EAS) for School Year (SY) 2021/2022. Everyone is required to update ONLINE, no matter how recently your application was submitted. Please complete your annual update by March 23, 2021. Candidates that update after March 23, 2021 may miss consideration for current vacancies. When updating your application, please do not forget to change the year of consideration to SY 2021/2022 and update your availability date. If you have questions regarding your application, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page within EAS.
You may establish security questions that will be used if you need to reset your EAS password. To setup your security questions, log into your application and select "Edit Profile", then select "Set Password reset Questions".
You must ensure all aspects of your application are true, up-to-date and reflects your ability, experience, and training as accurately as possible.
Changes to the EAS application for SY 2021/2022:
• On the Personal Information screen of the application, applicants must respond to a question regarding (temporary or permanent) residency in another country. • Local applicants residing in the overseas area can apply for consideration for the Virtual School Hub in the area in which they are currently residing by clicking on the Virtual School tab on the "Target Location and Availability Date" screen.
If you are a local applicant residing in the overseas area, 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.
There is no longer a deadline date for applicants to update or apply to be considered for the upcoming school year. Applicants will not receive consideration until their application is active and complete.
Current/Former DoDEA employees, 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.
The hiring timeline for SY 2021/2022 will begin immediately and run through the end of August. Educators that are not selected for SY 2021/2022 will be invited to update their application next winter for consideration for SY 2022/2023.
Thank you for your continued interest in teaching with DoDEA.
I realize how competitive these jobs are and I am highly limited in only applying to one location. However, I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into the teaching landscape in Ankara? I'm trying to figure out how much a long shot this actually is!! Any feedback would be welcome!
Joe WachsNot sure if you will be traveling to Turkey with your partner or not. But do be aware that their are different rules for someone who is hired from Stateside vs. someone who is a "local hire"
Therefore, if you are able to accompany your spouse as a dependent, you could by a very strong applicant.
For now, that would be the only location indicated on your application. Once you have orders showing yourself as a dependent (if this is possible), you can apply as a local hire.
Does anyone know how soon paperwork rolls in after accepting a tentative offer? I've been checking my email like crazy not wanting to miss anything. It's a temporary position and I'm a local hire but I'm hoping it's finally my way of getting my foot in the door so to speak.
My last update was when the school I taught at last year eliminated the choral music program I was teaching in due to budget cuts making it look like I have not been teaching this past year. I was just so stressed about finding a job prior to this school year, and then with all of the adjustments we had to make with the pandemic I had almost completely forgotten about it.
I know as a third year teacher my chances are already pretty slim because there are so many more experienced teachers out there, but is it too late to add that information to the application for this referral?
HelpOthersIf it shows the location of the referral, this might be a case for e-mailing the principal to say that you have new information that was not in the application at the time of the referral and you want to make sure they have the updated information.
@Educate, it was set for the current school year at the time of the referral, but I did update it with everything else.
@HelpOthers it did show a location, where would I be able to find the principal's contact information?
I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much for this as all of my other referrals haven't amounted to anything, but it would be nice to get an interview. The position in question is in Germany, my dad's home country, and I have lots of family there. It would be nice to be able to see them more than once a year. My German language skills are listed in my application, but I'm not sure how much weight that would actually carry....
I recently arrived to Japan as an Speech Pathologist. According to my pay stub, I'm getting an LQA that doesn't seem right (I think I'm getting less money!). Can somebody help me find an LQA chart by Groups? I know this was posted before but I can't find it.
HelpOthersIt is based on the estimate that you provide that includes your rental lease, agent fees receipt, and estimated utilities. Check with your school secretary/finance secretary.
Make sure to include all three school counseling areas on your application (ES, MS SS).
the ration is 250 students per school counselor and this ration is hired out by the school, not the district. Some work at two schools, but most are assigned to one school . The USA Jobs position might be for an ISS. There has been a vacancy for school counseling ISS in the US for a while and I think now there might be one at Headquarters too.
I believe there are current vacancies, so please make sure your application is active and your certs and transcripts have been uploaded to show the current or next school-year, not previous years.
Lots of people retired in November, December, January, February, and even this month. None of them paid back their LQA for the summer of 2020.
You must have a transportation agreement to collect LQA.
But LQA is not connected to your RAT, which sometimes has to be repaid if a person doesn't complete the full one, or two year tour.
Am I right? I think so. But the interpretation of your District office trumps everything. It's no use quoting my post in this thread if you get into an argument with the District office.
But there is a way to win an argument with the District office. Simply read the LQA regulation, and quote it to them in all your emails.
Am I missing something? Are you getting fired? Are you the person that is still on probation?
HelpOthersI believe in order to not pay for summer LQA that you must work through the end of October (or other date within October). That is why most people retire after this date. If you retire/leave earlier, you would owe back for the summer LQA.
hahaDoDEA is generally all about the credit hours. I believe DoDEA would want you to provide transcripts showing 15 credit hours of coursework dealing with gifted education, regardless of whether you have an endorsement or certificate (check the requirement page to confirm).
SlcjklI recently got my DoDEA gifted cert - I technically got 3, because the requirements are the same for eled, ms, and secondary: 15 credit hours. It's likely that you'll need to produce 15 credits in gifted education coursework, regardless of your endorsement.
