1) I received my offer letter but when I interviewed and discussed the position with the principal the teaching assignments differ. One of them is a field I have no experience in and am not even qualified for, and more...See More

CoPurry, I'm curious if this ended up working out in your favor?

We have been considering going stateside so I opened my application for Dodea Americas. I have gotten a few referrals for Guam but haven't gotten any interview requests.

It can a little difficult to snag a position on Guam. Because it's a US Territory, it has far more highly qualified local candidates, than a DODDS location.

Anyone working in Germany aware of the troops leaving?
haha
No longer in Germany but fairly confident that any actual execution of this plan will be slow walked to the greatest extent possible (since no one connected to the military seems to want this). Whether it actually has a significant impact on bases, schools, teaching positions will definitely depend on the upcoming election. If the current admin sta...See More

It's just a headline.
Let's shelve this topic until Nov 04.

Thanks for your answers to all of our questions. I would take any position to get to Rota! I have wanted to live in Spain for over 20 years. You're smart to turn down interviews in places you don't want to live since there is no transfer round anymore.

@IsItFriday?-I understand that many people have to cut their teeth in locations like Japan and South Korea, but my family and I are well-established here and there is rumor of a job opening here in Rota that I would be qualified for, so would not want to pass up on that opportunity. Even so, at this point, we're not ready to take the full plunge un...See More

@TGIF thank you. Yea, I went through it- just was curious of how working with the virtual school would be. I guess I will find out if selected.

Nobody really knows how this will turn out. Everything is just supposition.
This is the first time the DoDEA has offered a K-8 virtual school, and it sounds like they are still procuring the course ware. So how can we know anything. Please share if anyone here even knows the name of the course ware.

Prior to getting a teaching job with DODEA, I interviewed to be an aide as well. The questions were about handling student behavior, taking direction from my lead teacher or main teacher in the room and also comfort with doing small groups if asked. It was very straightforward. I was offered the position but ended up declining because of the amount...See More

Keep in mind you can only use spousal preference once per location, so if you use it for the aide position, you cannot use it for a teaching position. This is my understanding. On the other hand, if it is not full-time, there may be an exception, I suggest asking HR.

Quick question. Im a current Europe west local hire. I applied on Usa jobs and got an interview for Europe South. Does anyone know if I get the job if I pick up benefits? This is not an out of district move so I wasn't sure if this has an impact? Any advice is appreciated!

Mind-boggling.
There's a lot of unfairness in the system of being a local hire. Once they have pegged you as someone they can under-pay, then they lock you in, and make it hard to escape. It's similar to a caste system. And perhaps equally wrong.
Not trying to ruffle feathers here, but this is a Me Too issue.

I fully sympathize with the issues facing local hires. TBF though I can also see it from the other side to some extent. LQA, RAT, etc. is offered as an incentive for teachers to relocate. Local hires obviously do not require that incentive as they are already overseas. Also, local hires often were at some type of advantage in the hiring process, co...See More

Thanks for sharing! Good to know! I currently teach for a public school system in the states. The idea of quitting after the school year starts here hadn't crossed my mind. I guess teachers do that if needed and if DODEA is the goal.

We started the conversation like Haha mentioned -- "We're considering moving overseas." My parents had also moved a few houses away from us. My dad told me not to abandon him and told me I needed to tour the entire country before ever considering leaving the US. However, we did it anyway. And it has been one of the best decisions for our family.

It can be really hard to leave family. And if they are not supportive, it's even harder. It will be a difficult conversation to have and there will be many more difficult conversations and guilt ridden moments. After 5 years overseas, I still have guilt (and weirdly common in this thread, my parents had also built a house next to ours!). However, y...See More
