I've read about the cat 3/4 and know where I'd fall, but when trying to look into whether or not I can live on state side privatized housing and the est. rates, their ranks are listed differently at various locations. I'm not in with the military lingo :/ I'm thinking about adding three state side locations. I see that on some bases civilian childr...See More

You're over thinking.
The vast majority of regular DoDEA teachers (non-active duty spouse) live off base. That's true in all three Areas.
There's only a very narrow subset of teachers who find living on base to be superior. Off base housing is superior, and you have more freedom. On base housing is subject to lots of rules, a fish...See More

Unfortunately, it is really hard to move positions/schools/countries nowadays. Hopefully that will change in the future, but at this point, I would only accept a position in a location where you could be longterm.

It happens. Japan District did offer this possibility for in district moves, prior to last year (two years ago?). I believe another district in Europe still offers this but could be wrong.
So, no guarantee, but an district move seems more likely to happen/come back than a full system wide transfer program.
But basically, yes, that...See More

Makes sense. Thanks!

Medical insurance for a part-time employee is very costly, more than twice what you would pay as a full-time employee. That added to paying your own move and then living off a part-time pay. I don't think I would accept that interview invitation. It's a lot to consider. That said, accepting a part-time position can turn into a full-time for the fol...See More

1) Will teaching at a DOD stateside school help me to get hired overseas in the long run?

I just want to say YES, it will totally help you get an overseas job. I waited three years to be hired by DoDEA. Ended up getting Guam, which is in that gray area between overseas and stateside (but is considered ddess because it's part of US). I got hired for an overseas position in Europe quite quickly after I was able to re-open my application, ...See More

1) Will teaching at a DOD stateside school help me to get hired overseas in the long run? *Possibly, if the hiring person is hoping for someone familiar with the DoDEA system and processes. And, they may trust the supervisor's reference especially if they happen to know them personally.

Never say never, but it would be very surprising to be considered for an overseas position through EAS as a current overseas teacher. It seems that when there are hard to fill positions, they are more likely to send out internal emails for positions that open to internal applicants.

So I was rated qualified in Social Studies, possess a master's in history (from Norwich, and have just completed my fifth year of full-time teaching. I listed any location under my preferences.
I got a singular referral, but no interviews. I am planning on finishing my national board certification in the fall. Is there ...See More

Look into AVID. It is often combined with SS and generally only needs a short workshop to become certified.
Agree with the advice to see what you already have in your transcripts, what you can test into adding onto your state cert (if your state allow you to add by testing) and then reassess what might be the best/easiest area to add.

Don't forget, if your state allows certification via testing, the course work required by DODEA is cut in half. Also, consider AP training. Many states are offering online AP training this summer.

I have been given a tentative offer for an overseas job for the 2020-2021 school year. I am waiting for my fingerprints to be processed to complete the background check. The location I am going to has a two week quarantine and I will need to apply for a visa as well. When would you typically start shipping your household goods and p...See More
