DODD Teachers Chatboard

haha Everything pretty much depends on the level of involvement of the student. In my experience DoDDS does not have separate Autism classes (and relatively few, if any, separate EI classes).

Students whose academic deficits and/or behaviors allow them to be served primarily in general education will be in those classes with push-in and/or pul...See More

Hey,

I have been keeping an eye on what people have mentioned in terms on what they've received referrals for (in terms of their certifications) and I was wondering if anyone has received anything from Europe and that is not SPED/ESL/ELEMENTARY yet. If so, could you maybe mention what certification got you a referral?

Also, does...See More

Just got an interview for Ikego ES. If Daegu is a no, then I at least have a second chance this year! :)

haha It's a non-factor in your day to day life. It's something to be aware of and try and stay informed about but from all available information/scientific data it appears to not be a major problem if you are outside of the affected area.

Can you absolutely know that to be the case? No, not really. Virtually every place in the world (including ...See More

Snow Lane Thank you for the reassurance haha. It's something I've also be a little worried about myself.

Hello All,

It seems that my application in the system has not be evaluated since 2015. I've updated my application each year as it has asked. Has this happened to anyone else?

From time-to-time, the international school my boys attend have "virtual days," when students are permitted to stay at home and do all of their assignments via internet. I suppose teachers are at home too, but I have no way to confirm that. But, on those days it is completely online learning. They say its practice for foul weather days an...See More

HelpOthers I am unaware of this practice in DoDEA.

DoDEA offers a virtual school and students throughout DoDEA can enroll in these virtual classes when they are not available for the student at their own DoDEA school.

Holy cow. 16 questions and a STRICT 30 minute time limit. Sheesh.

Snow Lane I tried to take notes during the interview, but it was so rapid fired, I know I forgot to write some of them down. I wrote 14 phrases about the questions to help me remember them. According to TeacherMama, there were 16 though and I know I missed some.

Overall, the questions weren't bad, but I know I messed some of them up because I wasn'...See More

Mar 24, 2017

HelpOthers In my experience, they have asked 7 questions, but some of
those questions had multiple parts. Trying to write them,
didn't work even with me asking them to repeat the
questions. I suggest having a Word Doc open and typing as
much of the question as you can, so you answer all parts.

I know this is probably not a question that can be answered...but I'll ask anyway.

I REALLY want to be in stateside DOD schools. I'm elementary or middle school music. (I want elementary.) But I also don't have any other certs. So I'd have to be full time.

This is the last year I can apply. I've been in the system for 3 years...ne...See More

Stateside

by dodhopeful

Mar 24, 2017

HelpOthers Stateside, DoDEA increased their student ration recently with music and other "specials" teachers. So, several DoDEA teachers were "reduced in force" RIFed. So, they either went part-time or left DoDEA. Likely, these teachers have active applications and with good/great references from current DoDEA principals.

I cannot see an entire post with comments anymore. All I can see is the subject line or the re: line...but no content. Is there a way to get back to the expanded version? I can no longer just browse through the comments. Thanks!
