SpedTeacher74I did a follow up email to the superintendent today. Hopefully she will respond. My friend at HQ in Alexandria said the super's are responsible for hiring the ISS positions.
I don't know if they do referral lists etc. Some positions have been sitting unfilled for a long time (even before the hiring freeze) which always makes you wonder who/what they are holding them for. I do know of one ISS who was hired from outside of the system so it can happen. Good luck!
Its a hard pill to swallow, I am qualified in my state to teach any and all levels of SPED. Why does DoDEA have to be so stupid and categorize the SPED certs.
Is there anyone on here that has received a referral with only having a LIMM cert?
I know that this may sound silly, but could you please tell me where on my application do I look to see if my application is active? I am so lost right now.
In general, your application should be active if the year is showing the current/next school year on the Target Location and Availability Date page and you have all green check marks on the main application page . There is also a chance that it will say something about your status in the upper left hand corner of that page (mine still says application frozen for processing).
WanderlustYes, it does indicate external candidate. I am just curious as to why I have not been contacted for the past two years and was hoping that this is the reason why. I am in hopes that this is my year. I keep seeing all the people who are getting interviews and I am becoming nervous all over again.

If you are in doubt about anything though you should call HR and ask them.

As for teaching there really is not much you can do other than try and add some other certification areas. Most/many PE teachers teach just PE but in smaller schools, or the 2nd/3rd PE Teacher in a bigger school they need to be able to offer other subjects. I have seen PE teachers also asked to teach music, art, health, social studies, Spanish and math. So, if you could add anything then it would give a potential principal some flexibility.
