It was from High school at an International School. My Undergraduate school counted it as 6 credits for History towards my degree and it shows on my transcript. I emailed HR but they never answered. Trying to see if I'm close enough for High School Social Studies.
haha
Ah, that makes sense. Hard to say for sure, but the general rule of thumb is that if it is listed on an official college transcript, then DoDEA will generally accept it.

I would only add that Yokosuka has about 1/3 of the DoDEA population of students in mainland Japan (Pacific East). It a navy population where the community feels like a ghost town (when ships are out) or can feel very crowded (when ships are in). Most teachers live of the installation and have great views of the ocean.

Thank you both for your responses, they were very helpful!

If there is any advice or the possibility of some clarity to be found through another's experience and perspective, it should be sought.

7% fixed return is nice for peace of mind and I would probably take that if it was on offer (even though with a little luck and "smart" investing I might do better).
Again, the 7% is just one factor, since the 7% return is based on what you put into the account. Are your contributions (or at least a percentage) being matched by your employ...See More

The gifted cert is 15 credits, which is 5 classes and around 2k, making it more than doable. The other certs are 24 credit hours. My plan was to start it in January. After that is done, maybe look into middle school certs. And is it true that if you have a state cert, it cuts the credit requirements in half? Does that apply across the board for all...See More

Adding gifted would be better than adding nothing but it is true that there are very limited positions and openings every year. SS openings would be more common and the cert potentially more useful but then again SS is a relatively common cert and there are many qualified candidates in the system. AVID pairs well with SS and can be added with a wor...See More

They will amend your orders. Once you have the date, let HR know, so the orders can be amended. As for teaching, every sub available, admin, specialists, and even ISSes are in the classrooms this year mostly due to the two school options (virtual/brick and mortar). I agree that you are only responsible for things that are within your control. Do wh...See More

Thanks everyone! I feel so much better now (not really because i was ready to leave in a couple of weeks) about the situation. I know my class is covered and admin has done well to assure me of that, but I am just ready to begin this journey. The sooner I begin, the sooner I can get out of quarantine with my energetic dog!...Not looking forward to ...See More

You can look up GS pay scales, but I think it has something to do with matching to your current salary. AOs are expected to be in the schools over the summer, and are encouraged to take leave during the school year on days that TSP (admin, teachers, etc.) must be in the building. The relocation and benefits will depend on where you currently live, ...See More

What are the probabilities that my wife (licensed school psychologist) and I (Speech-Language Pathologist) be hired by dodea to work in the same place/base? We found out about DODEA because a colleague of us worked for dodea several years ago.
We are currently working for a school district and we are interested in ...See More

Oops. Meant SLP Assessor, obviously. Although SPED Assessor is a nice addition too. :D

Ok...so that option opens up possibilities that we had not considered. Thank you for your input.

Agreed. Pay attention in class, take notes if you need to. You can access the materials in advance to study if you prefer. After you have your license, you may want to practice on base for a while before going off-base. However, off-base, the roads are well marked and when other cars are there, you are less likely to go the wrong direction. Most er...See More
