I am currently looking around at teacher certification programs for a career switch. I already have a bachelors and master's degree in biology so I am mainly looking for a teaching program that would allow me to get a state certification (which I understand is the basic requirement for becoming a DODEA teacher).

That is a good idea, thank you! I will reach out to the HR to see. Yes I basically just need those 18 SH of teaching coursework I believe and the student teaching.

I just got an e-mail from HR about a question I had and they said "we are still actively hiring for this school year"...

I usually get a response within 3-4 days, sometimes longer.

If my retired mother moves with my husband and two children OCONUS would she be included in our LQA? She will retire from teaching next year and was considering moving in with us. I just want to know how that would impact a future dodea position. Thanks!

Ah okay - I read some other posts discussing size of household and wasn't sure how "household" was defined/what are the rules (I haven't seen the paperwork). Good to know that she could stay with us - just needs to follow regular visa rules for the country - Thanks everyone for the info!

As I understand it, most DODEA teachers starting their teaching careers at school districts outside the federal government. To that end, what becomes of the years earned in state retirement systems? Is there a way to mesh the state retirement system earnings with the federal government retirement system?

Not that I am aware of (but don't claim to be aware of everything).
It varies widely by state, how many years you have vested, etc. Some states let you (or make you) cash out. Some let you stay vested after a certain number of years. I only had a few years in two different stateside districts so didn't really give it much thought or attent...See More

On the experiences page, at the bottom, there is a window where you can type freely. Not just answering multiple choice questions.

@HelpOthers thank you. That was great advice.

It seems to be pretty rare. The only times I ever heard of were really because the candidate backed out/changed their mind. I'm sure it does happen but it's not generally something most people would hear about. Partly because it is uncommon and partly because how would we hear about it (other than someone posting about it on hear or similar place)?

I would not store anything. Sell what you don't bring with you. You could be overseas for several years and most people report that their items have ruined over the years. Don't bring large appliances, but if you have downsized, you should be fine. The kitchens are tiny, so you may want to leave fancy dishes and equipment used only once a year with...See More

Depending where you are in Japan, you may have bigger houses. In Okinawa, many houses are Americanized with large kitchens, living rooms, and lots of closet space.
