It depends on the plan you select, size of family etc. We have the high quality plan and our premiums are around $300 a month.

I go back and forth. Sometimes, I feel level-headed and think that it will happen if it's meant to. Other times, I get anxious and nervous!!

Good luck to everyone. Do your best to prepare what you want to try and work in about your background and successes as a teacher (while you answer their specific questions of course). I think I remember another question. Something about tell me what a day in your classroom looks like. Also, DoDDS is pushing hard on a teaching model where they want ...See More

While you certainly have a varied and interesting background, most principals seem to place the highest value on recent, relevant K-12 teaching experience and a range of certification areas (based on DoDDS requirements).
If I am reading your summary correctly you basically have zero years of full time K-12 teaching experience. So, if DoDDS...See More

Most of the interviews I have had with DoDDS were the same 7 questions (e.g. Why DoDDS?, Tell me about a successful lesson you did with planning, differentiation, assessment, Tell me about a time you had a challenging situation and how you dealt with it, Tell me etc). I'm sorry I can't really remember any others and they may have changed since then...See More

Yes, 20% of your salary. I found a COLA calculator (which I can't seem to link to) and a link to the LQA rates, https://webapps.dodea.edu/lqarates/lqarates.cfm
It is listed under Taegu, Korea.

The rate is 20% but that makes it sound better than it is in reality. Ours is 25% and that would seem like 25% of your $65K salary would be $650 a paycheck but the way it is calculated means it would likely be much less than that ($200-300 a paycheck). Still a nice addition to your salary but not 25%.

Thank you for answering that Expat, but HR asked me when I could start. I thought they would give me the start date like you said...What would be an appropriate amount of time to request given that I am moving from another state and my principal at least wants me to put in a two week notice?

I came in at the beginning of a school year and had a report date on my orders. Sounds like yours is different with the school year well under way? I would take whatever time you need to leave your job with proper notice, move and find/set-up your house etc. You could also call your new principal and ask for guidance on this issue.

my interview request came a good 4 days after the initial referral email. So, don't count it out yet!
haha
I'm not sure whether they are waiting for interviews or not. I will ask my admin for clarification and post an answer if I get anything useful.
I'm not sure whether other districts have a similar procedure.

Sometimes nothing, sometimes you'll get the call for an interview. Keep your fingers crossed and answer all calls on your phone.
