DODD Teachers Chatboard

(1)

haha Principals do generally take some period of time off during the summer. There may be fewer of them traveling this year due to the restrictions/complications/uncertainties involved,. But, they are perfectly capable of recruiting/interviewing while traveling and many have done so in the past.

Hello, I am a little flustered. I did not get any interviews or notices from DODEA school, but they asked all my supervisors and my principal. They asked for a Reference check, not even a reccomendation. My principal asked me if I was going to resign from my current school. I don't get the DODEA system and do I have to ask or email directly to the ...See More

haha Something from DoDEA HR or admin/secretary from a specific school?

Jun 11, 2020

HelpOthers If the school had your name, you were on a referral list and they are not responsible for notifying you of the referral, that is an HR glitch or in your junk e-mail. They interview very few people, so a reference check might help them decide who to interview. I suggest you keep ongoing conversations with your current principal that this can occur, ...See More

Can taking a USA job affect my EAS referral?

by lalaland

Jun 11, 2020

Sorry it might have been asked before, but I couldn't find the thread again. If I take an educational aid offer now, will it freeze/ affect my teaching application in EAS? I am thinking ideally: can I decline the educational aid offer after I accept it IF I have a teaching offer later? Thanks!

haha They should be separate systems/processes. It "shouldn't" freeze your EAS if you accept a paraprofessional position. You "should" be able to accept a teaching position and resign the para position. Only HR could say for certain(ish) though.

Jun 11, 2020

Icanread I worked with a parapro (who was also a certified teacher). Two weeks into her new job as a parapro, she received a fulltime job offer as a teacher. She obviously quit and took the teaching job. Like haha said, they "should" be 2 separate systems and not affect each other.

In my "target locations," I've set the year for 2020-2021. In my uploaded documents, it shows that my most recent upload was in January 2020. But "SY considered" on my documents states 2019-2019. Although I updated the documents and it is listed on my target jobs area as the upcoming school year, why do my documents still show this? I deleted the o...See More

HelpOthers January may have been too early to trigger it for this school-year. I would just do it again and delete the old one after you see the new one.

MyDOD I thought I had reuploaded them in January, but it was actually February. I deleted them and reuploaded and the dates are fixed. Thanks!

Trying to avoid any debt (haha) as I transition from DDESS back to DoDDS. I was moved to my current position (ISS) with return rights, but I did receive TQSE. I've been in this position for less than a year. Will I be required to pay TQSE back? Who would be the best person to ask this question? CHRA or DoDEA HR, union rep, or someone else?

HelpOthers Thank you. I believe the website lists the different expenses it is meant to cover. As mentioned previously, pet travel would be one. Also, losses for selling cars, large appliances, breaking leases, and for purchasing car(s) in new location, etc.

MsU Thanks all, we would avoid anything at this point that isn't by the book!

Can anyone share how the TOPS ordering works? (first time using it, because I was a new hire last time and they did it all for me ) I submitted the request for orders along with the signed transportation agreement. Now I'm waiting. What can I expect next? Does it have to go through several people to get approved? Thanks.

(1)

haha If it is similar to the new process to get orders for RAT then you will get an email telling you that your orders have been processed in TOPS. Then you will an email from someone in CHRA telling you that wheels are in motion. Then you will get another email with your fully funded orders.

It may be different for PCS orders but CHRA is prob...See More

Livorno

From what I can tell, there is no High school in Livorno. My question is, what happens to the students when they hit high school? If you move there with your own child and they hit high school age, what happens?

Do not mail references to Virginia

by HelpOthers

Jun 9, 2020

If your evaluator does not receive the reference via email, you give them a printed copy. However, do NOT have it mailed to the address on the form, because it is VERY old. Instead ask them to scan and email it to CHRA: usarmy.ria.chra-nc.mbx.dodea-eas-applicant-inquiries@mail.mil

I have an ISS application in USAJOBS and I have been referred to the hiring manager. I am curious if anyone might share some light on approximately how long it will be before I know if I will receive an interview request or receive notice that I wasn't selected. Thank you.

IbeforeE I am surprised that you received an email saying "not selected" @Shawna11. I would love to get one as well so I don't keep on wondering if anyone filled that position. Anyone else out there receive "not selected" emails after a referral/interview?

Jun 9, 2020

Shawna11 @IbeforeE , it was for an ISS job in USA JOBS....Dodea is realllly good about updating status updates in that system for admin/ISS jobs
