If you belong to any educator Facebook pages, keep an eye out for those who post about DoDEA positions. Touch base with them privately.

Hi Coach Walker - I noticed that you had applied for the Pacific ISS PE/Health position, just wondering if you had gotten the job - if so, good luck in your new adventure!

I'm currently in Okinawa and have started subbing at KES, although now it has died down since schools are closed. My EAS application has finally been processed as well and I'm K-6 qualified. I haven't received an email about being on a referral list but the school secretary reached out saying I was on the list and was wondering if I...See More

Okinawa was originally going to return to the classroom after spring break on 4/13. However, that is currently on hold. We do not know the return to school date and of course it COULD go the remaining nine weeks of school. It's possible they could hire you due to the lack of need for relocation and once you pick up the laptop and other supplies, co...See More

@Mary I can only imagine. With upper grades it has to be a lot easier on the student and parents. Whereas the kinders are so dependent on their parents. We will see how it goes! I'll keep you posted!

Suggestions for a polite way to turn down an interview for a location you aren't interested in?

Just be very straightforward. Thank you very much for your interest in my candidacy but as I had indicated on my EAS, we are not considering positions in XYZ at this time (or words to that affect). You might have a reason you want to include or just leave it at that.

Thanks Haha. Makes sense.

There is a limit of Non-DoDEA years of experience. States and Territories credit up to 5 years and foreign countries credit up to 10 years. So without the DoDEA years, step 5 USA and step 11 Foreign country would be the limit. Then, above your non-DoDEA experience, they add DoDEA experience without limit. So, if you worked 6 years non-DoDEA and 1 y...See More

This is a great resource for all the acronyms you may need to learn - https://www.dodea.edu/onboarding/Acronyms.cfm. But I don't think the list includes all the additional military acronyms! I'm still learning most of them!!

Your LQA ends immediately. Many people have received debt letters later for staying longer than the end of the school-year. The government usually arranges your return flights, so you may need to discuss with the TMO office how to delay your return flight.

Just saw that on the most recent union information that the ISS PE position is still listed as vacant, while some other ISS positions are listed as "selection made but not yet official". Interesting.

Also interesting that we apparently have 75+ ISS positions, just for the Pacific Districts.

Perhaps I'm reading your question wrong, but it seems like you are asking if the DODEA schools will consider your extra state certifications that you are not asking the DODEA analysts to qualify? I don't know the answer to this... but I would guess moving to DODEA would be similar to switching states in many ways... you have to be certified in that...See More

There is no guarantee. Once you are working for DoDEA, your qualifications be be increased or decreased based on qualification requirements at the time. If your school needs someone in a certain area, they may review what current teachers are able to teach, then ask HR to update your qualifications whether you want it or not. This is unlikely, but ...See More

PS- That definitely seems wrong and contrary to everything I have seen, heard and read. I would keep fighting, submit pay inquiries, go through the union, Bill Freeman, etc. It would be stressful, but so is the feeling that you are being robbed of several thousand dollars per year. The good thing about DoDEA is that if they actually admit they made...See More

CHRA is new to this and may have misinterpreted something. When overseas, your pay is tied to the pay determined in the spring. So you start with last year's pay and in the spring when the accurate pay is determined, you get a pay increase all in one pay check, then for the remainder of that school-year. However, if they are accepting 10 finished y...See More
