For those teaching overseas, is your family able to use facilities on base? Gym, px, bowling alley, etc? They are adventurous, but also will want a feeling of community. Thanks in advance!
FrankI've been in Korea and Okinawa. I've loved both places. The weather and air pollution are better in Okinawa, but Korea is also a great place. It's a lot cheaper to travel around Asia from Korea than Okinawa.
Hi all, I have been following this board for a while now and love all of the great advice. This is my first time applying with DoDEA, how will we know if we triggered a referral? Thanks in advance.
MsULast year all the referrals I got seemed to be generated on Fridays. No clue why or if it was coincidence. The one interview request I had came a few days before the referral email.
MissamyThank you @Watson for Sharing. @Kim this is my first year applying, too. HR told me that you can still get contacted even if your qualifications still say pending. They told me the licensure department doesn't always have time to approve everyone's qualifications. But, that doesn't hurt your chances.
Can someone tell me what I would be qualified to teach with the 0420 Elementary Mild Learning Impairment certification? Would I be able to work as a Student Support Specialist (Resource Room Teacher)? What else might I qualify for? Thank you!
MullinzoThank you @haha! That totally answers my question. :) The SSS, from what I understand, is the pull-out resource room-type teacher. However, I could be mistaken. Thanks for the quick and thorough reply.
hahaNope, like I said, Mild Leaning Impairment is the push in/pull out resource room teacher (at least in any school I'm familiar with/have knowledge of).
Where did you see anything about an SSS position? I've never seen that position or certification on any transfer list or anything (not that I know/have seen everything)?
hahaNo, you are completely restricted to base, otherwise it would probably be one of the more desirable locations.
It varies widely by location. On the whole, I would say more locations require teachers to live off base/post than offer the chance to live on (but I don't know/have the exact breakdown).
Just wanted to say good luck to everyone. It seems this has become a little affinity group working towards similar goals and it will be exciting to see who gets job offers! It's such a dream and opportunity and important mission.
lydiafrazSAME! It is no nice to have somewhere to turn to for advice and information about this whole process! I'm always so grateful for how nice and helpful people are on this chat!
