Someone started a Facebook group for teachers trying to get hired with the DoDEA. It's for teachers to share their experience with the process. https://www.facebook.com/groups/538804653677909/

Interesting. The change in profile changed past posts...

It helps with your pay if you already have 10+ years of experience. The DoDEA experience is added to that, but if you continue in your non-DoDEA schools, those years will max out at 5 for DoDEA (US and Territories) and 10 for DoDEA (foreign countries).
It may help to have experience with the DoDEA jargon, culture, programs used, etc.

In theory, it should. Being a permanent employee with DoDEA rates you higher on referral lists.

I believe that the federal would be added onto the max of ten years non-DoDEA teaching experience, but can't be certain.
Yes, it also does sound like you would be at Masters +30. As long as the other graduate credits were not part the Masters you are using for qualifying for the Masters salary lane, they should work for Masters +30.

If the HQ experience was in the education field, yes, those two years should be credited on top of the maximum, so starting step 13 (step 11+2).
Make sure all your transcripts are uploaded and that you confirm your pay before signing that official document.
If you are hired DoDEA USA-Territories, they will likely place you at MA...See More

Wow, that's great. I think the only concern would be losing the anonymity. I don't mind helping people here, but I wouldn't want to get into any trouble...hmmm.

I requested to join. Thanks!

Been on DoDEA 8 years, never heard a mention of a drug test. That being said, if you are caught, you can say goodbye to your career. Recently a district office employee was caught drinking and driving by the base MPs. They sent him home.

As a federal employee, we do receive emails and there are commercials on AFN stating that we are not allowed to smoke pot, even if you are in a country or US state where it is legal. That said, there is no drug testing. If you receive a DUI, you will also probably be fired. DoDEA doesn't mess around with those either.

The subject vacancy announcement is posted on USAJOBS at https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/566700900.

There are also a few ISS jobs - one in VA, Germany, and Okinawa. If you have a masters and the required experience (different for each one), you can also apply for those. You apply for those through USA jobs, I believe.

Agree. We don't generally have access to statistics but based on admin I know/know of, there is a mix of people who taught with DoDEA, were admin in the states or even taught in the states and their first AP job was with DoDEA.

I hate to say it, but it's also based on who you know. Like with teaching jobs, some positions are already spoken for before they are even advertised. They go through the motions and THAT person is hired.

@LolaTeach - I'm hoping that's the reason why a follow up interview in Jp hasn't happened yet - crossing fingers!!!

We were late to the game in terms of transitioning to online learning (Japan and the UK were the last to switch), so much of the effort is going towards supporting current teachers and figuring out expectations, as well as dealing with the myriad of parent complaints. It's a very, very busy time for admins.

Yep, maintenance.
