I'm also certified in middle school science and secondary general science and Biology. I'm currently DDESS and would love to get overseas. Family didn't like the idea of being confined to GTMO. It was tough to turn down.
So, it seems they log in...See MoreI logged in and see that I have some qualifications still pending that directly match the other qualified certs. For example, secondary, but not middle school.
However, I see they logged in yesterday to put 'not qualified' on Teacher, Reading Recovery position-- Reason: It is no longer a position we staff.
So, it seems they log in and certify at random, not just for a vacant position opening.
@haha or anyone who knows this process well, do you think more referrals will be coming in June/July than the number coming out right now? From what I understand, this is the very beginning of hiring season.
CmcPrincipals don't always hire local first. I made a referral list last year as a local overseas applicant. I wasn't even picked to interview, a stateside candidate was hired. So I guess there's hope for stateside candidates.
HelpOthersThere is a hiring freeze and stop action for moves. On a good year, most hiring starts soon, and it may be delayed in the current circumstances.
I reposted one of my attachments and updated my skills to reflect some of the PDs I've been running (was asked to help provide PD during the shut down). Do I have to finalize it again or is it OK just to re-upload?
IcanreadIs the last check mark green? If so, you don't need to finalize it again. You should be able to update attachments at any time without having to re-finalize.
What is the minimum grade for a course to be accepted (e.G, B, C-, etc)?
Are developmental/remedial courses accepted to fulfill particular requirements? I would like to add compensatory math, but one of my 15 credits is from a remedial course.
They generally go by course numbers (some areas require a certain number of upper level courses) and/or department codes. If the course was through the math department, they should/could take it (again, when in doubt, ask HR and enlighten us all).
HelpOthers@student.dodea.edu is the ending of the g-mail address that students and staff use. Most teachers are using this account more often then usual, because it is easier to access from home than the @dodea.edu account.
Jen79Okay, I need one more class to qualify for that position. That *Not Qualified" note blew my mind lol. Thanks for the info. I'll have to decide now if I'll take another math class.:)

I enrolled in a Master's in Elementary Education program that taught all the methods classes, and I took several early childhood education and special education courses on the side, at other schools. Plus, a few ESOL courses. In addition to that, I got certified in 6 additional subject areas.
So, far in less than a year, because I started my journey in June 2019, I have earned the following:
1) 12 additional SH in special education. Now, I have a total of 24 SH credits in this area
2) 9 SH in early childhood courses. I will have 15 SH by the end of June
3) 24 SH in elementary education. I will have 27 SH by the end of June
4) 8 SH in ESOL
5) Plus, I'm one class away from having my master's in elementary education this summer.
And by the grace of GOD, all my hard work paid off because I was recently qualified for most of the "target jobs" I put in for, and a few of them are still pending. So, what I want to say if you really want something, you got to work hard for it. And I did, there were times I took 8 classes at the same time, and yes, I passed them ALL with straight "A's." By the end of June, I will have a grand total of 74 SH in education, which is a lot compared to the 12 SH I started off with.
