Thank you

Many/most landlords seem to be fairly understanding for something like DoDEA (e.g. traveling/moving on official orders, chance of a lifetime, serving the mission, etc.) but not all obviously and it does not mean they will suddenly waive all fees/costs. It will vary widely and I don't think there is any official policy that would protect you from co...See More

I would look closely at your lease. The lease will tell you what the stipulations are for breaking the contract early. Some require 1-3 months rent. However, if you live near a military base, they may have a clause that waives this fee if you have official orders.

Ok, I am not sure why, but this thread sparked a lot of thoughts, that I hope don't come out sounding too bitter, but:
First, I agree with ecd5, IF there is a transfer round, as a new hire you will be at the bottom of a list, that will most likely be really long because transfers have not happened for several years. Lots of people will try...See More

Thank you all so much for your input. I was simply caught off guard about an interview. I have been planning to go to teach in Sweden, where I am from. I would live with my mother and look for a job. However, I have been interested in teaching abroad with the DODEA for well over a year. I did not think it would happen. So, the reason I asked about ...See More

1.) I noticed in my application that I was qualified to teach Grade 1-6 and Special Education: Mild Learning Impairment and have state certifications in both, but when I look at my qualifications under national board/state certified it says not qualified. I've emailed HR and waiting to hear from them, but I am curious t...See More

I just looked it up and what you said is on their site. I've worked for DoDEA for 10 years so I haven't looked at bringing in a license for so long, I've just added areas based on additional degrees or coursework. That's something they should really post under each area as it makes a big difference. You advocated for yourself and that's really impo...See More
haha
You are both correct in some fashion. DoDEA cares most about degrees/credits/SH's as that is ultimately how they award "qualified" status in any given subject area (with some minor exceptions where experience can substitute for credits, as posted).
State certs are not required but yes, they do generally cut the required SH's in half, which...See More

For example, does anyone actually work in roles for journalism, compensatory math/reading, or teacher professional development/coach?
RJ
I asked HR about teacher professional coach an they said it no longer exist. They are hiring PD ISSs but that's a different route.
haha
I am aware of a couple of Journalism classes since I have been in (but Drama or Yearbook seems more common). I looked back at some of the last Transfer Round opening lists and there were around 10+ positions for Compensatory Math/Reading out of 150ish positions listed, which isn't bad.

-If hired, is the paperwork 100% digital (via scanning, uploading, or faxing)? I currently work at an international school in an emerging nation and English is not an official language. Getting things by mail effectively/efficiently to my apartment is already hit or miss. With the pandemic, t...See More

@Soda Do you remember if you needed prints done on a set form? Because things move so slow where I live I think I will go ahead and do my prints (just to have them if I get hired) and avoid delays.
Soda
The instructions said to tell the person doing it to use a specific kind of card—I think it was a color. The officer who did my prints said it was the only kind they used for that purpose. I think there was a different color if you were being booked.

@is it Friday, do you know which state or states you are able to renew in if you are working for DODEA? So I can see how to apply.
Cordelia
I don't know the answer to your question, except that my state worked individually with me. I also know that West Virginia (not my state) offers teacher's certification for life. No renewal ever. So that might be worth checking out...
Does that mean they are hiring a lot of teachers in Bahrain? I just got on this list. Kindergarten; Grades 1, 2 ,3; Grades 4, 5 ,6 at Bahrain ES.

Wondering about the timeline for move from DDESS to DODDS. I submitted security clearance form today. Was told most likely won't need equip. Anyone know how long security clearance might take and/or how long the formal offer will take at this point? My...See More

It will vary quite a bit. The background check does seem to be the biggest hold up for many people and if that is not an issue then you could be looking at a month (give or take). Of course, being told that something most likely will not be needed is not the same as it actually being checked off as completed/resolved. In general, the orders are pro...See More

Sorry. I was just giving you a hard time. But I hate your question. Everyone's best is different. None of the schools stand out. It's very much location dependent.
If your like the location and your particular slot, then you will love it.
None of the schools are great. All are average, and as a math teacher you will work and work....See More

Agree. You rarely hear DoDEA teachers talk about the schools they most desire to teach at (as opposed to int'l teachers). Most of the focus is on the location. I guess the implication is open to interpretation but mine is that teachers realize that schools are schools within a certain margin of error and the quality of life/work will vary from year...See More
