Also, do the overseas schools tend to hire hard to fill positions first before moving on to the more basic regular ed positions? I'm trying to get a feel for where schools might be in the hiring process.

Math is generally in fairly high demand with DoDDS (relative to the large amount of well qualified candidates in the application database). If you can combine Math with another subject then you greatly increase your chances of being considered. For example, a secondary school in Japan was looking for a combined ELA/Math teacher and there were only ...See More

Euxpat, I believe I will be at one of them. I assume the tentative offer had the old school because the name is not finalized for the new one. I still sent papers back signed because I would have taken any position for any school in Japan. Glad I got math and not 1st or 2nd grade! Those teachers deserve medals. Not sure I could do it.

If living on base is an option, is there any way to know what size unit you'd be given? I'm a school psych with 7 years experience; I have a wife and three children- Hypothetically, do you think I'd be given a 2 bedroom, a 3 bedroom, or a 4 bedroom unit (if they were available)?
haha
In general, they are pretty good about giving you what you need, if it is available. Teachers qualify for pretty high quarters rating (like an officer). On base is only available at a handful of locations so the odds are that you won't have to worry about it.

We are bringing our two dogs as well. I was looking last night, and some airlines do not take shizu (I spelled it wrong on purpose because it was reported for language) dogs. Some let you bring them with you on the plane, and some have to be in cargo.... so many questions and very little answers.
haha
Upfront costs depend on location. You get everything except the deposit reimbursed fairly quickly (a few weeks at most usually). They don't cover/reimburse the deposit because that money comes back directly to you when you move out.
A good car can generally be had for much less then $5K. They may also be including temporary housing. That i...See More

Thanks, SpedTeacher74. I was wondering about that. In AZ I have consistently had sped students in my general ed classes. I was beginning to think there are very little sped kids in DoDEA. Best of luck to you. It sounds like you have to be certified for MANY things if you're sped.
haha
SPED is a relative shortage in DoDDS but when you have 10's of thousands of applicants sitting in your database, principals still have many well-qualified applicants to choose from. The general wisdom is to add as many areas of certification SPED and otherwise as you can. If you have a degree in SPED then you should be able to add Moderate to Sev. ...See More

Chrissy - the transfer round vacancies were posted on the DoDEA site in January. You may still be able to see them if you search the site. However, I'm assuming most have been filled. Some did not get filled, as the position I accepted, was listed in the transfer round which means that no one high enough on the transfer list had those certification...See More

Guest, I know. My pal who works with DoDEA has already told me, but it's my wish/plan anyway!

First I want to say thanks to the people who take time to answer questions!
You've given me a lot of peace of mind while applying.
We are in the process of packing and trying to downsize at the same time.
My question is about the size of housing.
My husband and I have two kids who will be in ...See More

College students over 21 cannot be on your orders. My oldest son turned 21 three days after I arrived on site so he was dropped from my orders just after they gave him a red passport. Full time college students will get one round trip a year to Japan to reunite the family. I forget what age limit…until 23? Be careful when you book that first annu...See More

Thank you for responding. All good info. That 25% sounds amazing! We have some money saved, but I am also concerned about costs for settling in a new location. Thanks again.
