Teach, I'm new to this process. Would you mind explaining the transfer round? Do teachers from let's say Japan or Korea get first choice to go to Europe?
happyteacher
After serving several years at a location you are eligible to transfer. Basically, it's a lot easier to transfer to europe from korea or parts of Japan. I'm not in Dodea yet, applied exactly a year ago. I too, wanted only Europe and was told it would be hard, and it is. I've got 17 years of teaching experience, a Master's degree, multiple special E...See More

That's crazy. Especially since you can't just move overseas at the drop of a hat -- even without the freeze, it would be a few weeks for paperwork and travel orders and such. This is just another unnecessary delay for you, the students, and the school! Makes no sense. I'd like to see Trump teach a bunch of students in an overcrowded class!
haha
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the further guidance will come soon and it will be reasonable (as in since they don't issue start dates until your orders have actually been cut this shouldn't apply to these types of offers/positions). Hang in there.

My principal told me that the hiring freeze does not affect any positions that were offered and accept prior to the freeze. It's not definitive because they can sometimes get things wrong (or are told wrong information from District) but that seems to be the case.

Thanks haha. I know you can't give me a 100% assurance of this, but it does make me feel a little bit better. Thank you so much for your response!

It's standard practice actually. The list is really only published for current DoDDS teachers to look and decide whether they want to apply for a transfer to one of those listed positions. Now that the whole process is closed (except for the actual notification of who is going where) there is no need to keep it available.

how will the transfer round impact me if i've just been hired 2 months ago? Will I lose my position to someone transferring into my district? thank you for the responses.
haha
You're fine. The transfer round is only for firm projected openings for the fall. Presuming that you are already hired then your position is filled, not open.

I'm assuming the DODEA does their internal transfers first and then looks at applicants. Is this correct? If so- any thoughts on ...See More

I'm not a veteran but from the experiences of my colleagues it seems like having veteran preference generally gives a slight advantage in hiring. Principals are supposed to hire veteran candidates if all candidates are otherwise equal but candidates are rarely completely equal and it seems fairly easy for them to get around this if they really want...See More

From what i've heard it also depends on certifications. Many schools use local hires for elementary teachers since it is a common certification, meaning most elementary general education positions do not go CONUS with the exception of some openings in the Pacific. It may be advantageous to get additional certifications, such as gifted or ESL to mak...See More
