PS. If it is a concern for you, it might be worth your peace of mind to invest the time and energy (and money) in getting certified in another state. That would be relatively easy/cheap to do in some states, depending on your education and experience. Also some states have relatively few (if any) re certification requirements. That way if the worst...See More

My district will allow you to get out of your contract without penalty until mid July. Obviously, it is different within different districts/states. When I accepted my position January 4th, I informed my principal (who is a retired Marine) of my intentions and he was extremely supportive. I have been transparent with my administration throughout th...See More

Our credentials are: he is secondary math and cute certified. I'm certified elementary and language arts. I'm an instructional coach and staff developer currently. And we both have our admin licenses. Do these sound like desirable credentials? We both have 20 ye...See More

It was posted in regards to the hiring freeze. At least they made a statement about it...
"The President has ordered a government-wide hiring freeze subject to certain limited exceptions. This position is subject to the hiring freeze. Although we are moving forward with the consideration of candidates, we will not make a selection for thi...See More

I have a friend that works for DoDEA in Alexandria and she says they've been given no formal guidance. She thinks they are requesting exemptions and waiting for those to be granted or denied...but that otherwise it would be after April 20th before we begin to hear anything on these positions.
happyteacher
Ugh, this stinks. I hate waiting. This is just going to push back hiring even further. The weird thing is, one of my friends is an involved parent for a DoDEA school in Europe, and she said the school there is starting to get exemptions for hiring.... so many different stories!

It depends on where the principal is calling from. It could be an international number or it could be a stateside number. Or it could come in as an unidentified number. When in doubt, answer it. They will usually leave a message and ask you to call back if you are interested but sometimes they will just move on to the next person on the list.

So answer all calls. Thank you to you both.

Social studies is a fairly common area for people to be certified in, but job openings are also fairly common. Music is rarer but then again so are the jobs. The combination could be interesting since many positions in the Arts seem to be dropping down to .5.

Thanks, haha. Your comments and suggestions were very helpful, especially for someone like me - new to the system!

Usually an opening for a position will have several codes associated with it. the code denotes the subject certification/level required by the principal for that position. Elementary positions are often just the codes to teach grades 1-3 and 4-6 (0101-0103 Grades 1,2,3; 0104--0106 Grades 4,5,6 Mixed Elementary). Other elementary position might be c...See More

If you are certified for Reading Specialist, you should easily have the courses for Compensatory Reading - make sure all your transcripts are still attached to your file (since you say you applied a few years ago but weren't actively looking until now). When I went to update, one of my transcripts that just shows some additional courses I've taken ...See More

I don't think they ever post a list of current openings, that seems to stay under wraps. They share a list of openings for the transfer round, but I don't think they ever follow up with a list of who went where or what openings are left. We just have to wait and see if we wind up on a referral list or get a call.

Some of the combinations in the transfer round were quite bizzare... almost seems like it would be impossible to fill because of the combos. What happens if they don't get filled and no one in EAS has those combos? WIll they hire someone who has 2 of the 3 to cover that part of the job? Or do they swi...See More

Pre-K and K are both better bets than elementary. One reason is that many/most states offer a K-6 blanket certification which DoDDS does not accept and so there are much fewer candidates in the system.

go to webteaching.com. You can take the math and literary class there.

2. Anyone have knowledge or experience of a Guantanamo Bay placement?
3. Would there be a waiting period to apply for a promotion and subsequent transfer if stationed overseas?
Thanks for any help.

I don't know if that has been decided yet (or if it has it hasn't been shared with us). The initially ordered freeze was for 90 days and I don't think we really know what happens then. As soon as we hear something I will pass it on.

I sure hope we hear something about the hiring freeze soon...
