CookieIt's always open, no date. However there is a time of year where if you applied already, they ask you to update your application. Hiring is year round, although busier during the summer.
it wanted a statement of why I didn't have a state teaching certificate. Everything says it is open according to EAS but it won't let me submit the update.Too weird- best of luck its worth doing it!
LindseyI would say that the position is for this year. I was just referred in November and going through the process now. For reference I was interviewed on 12/4, offered tentatively 12/17, and received my firm offer 1/17. I am still waiting for orders though. My tentative start date is 3/2. Good luck!
CookieIf you get to the interview stage, you have very high chances with VP. Principals have to provide written justification to HR for not selecting you, many choose not to go through this process. You may want to research Naples, it's not for everyone.
When looking to get further certifications, where do most of you go online to take individual courses to contribute toward your continuing education? Based on a previous recommendation here, I looked at Western Governor's University, but they do not allow you to take single courses. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
BubbleHead711I registered, completed the course, and got a transcript in 4 weeks for $345 form the University of LaVerne .http://www.pdcourses.net/courses-pdc.php I completed two graduate level science courses with them to get my general science and physics certs.

I am curious, where (area, bases) is there usually the most need? Where are you most likely to see higher turnover rates? I am wondering if I should be opening up my preferences to more locations.
The bad news is that you might get all the way to an interview or even an offer, only to find out that DoDEA does not consider you qualified in your target areas. By the time you correct that, or even straighten out a misunderstanding, the chance would be passed.
That actually happened to us. A principal interviewed me and said they would love to hire me, but weren't sure I would make it through the HR vetting (even though I actually was deemed qualified in one area). It turned out to be alright in the end, as it showed me what I needed to do to have a real chance to get hired with DoDEA (unfortunately, it took several more years for another chance to come along).
Lindsey@witeacher my qualifications were pending for a year and a half. I finally called someone and got them to take a look. They emailed someone for me and it was qualified within the week. They kept telling me that I would still receive referrals but I did not receive one during that time frame. Could have been my combo of certs who knows?
Has anyone on here applied to Guam from the EAS while in DoDEA already? I am looking into it for my high three but EAS indicates that you need to have a recommendation from your current admin. Must it be the form from EAS, can they just pull our reviews of MyBiz, or can it be a letter?
onthemoveI didn't get an indication, rather, somewhere on that reference page, it notes that you must have one from your current admin. I entered my current admin but didn't select for it to send a form. From what Icanread has posted, it seems like I will need to do so.
Very weird, but I updated my principal's info On EAS due to recent changes in Email format, and the system automatically requested a recommendation, even though there was already one there. She told me she received a request, it was awkward.....Not planning or been eligible to move just yet.
I currently work for DoDEA, I received 2 referrals for two AP openings. I contacted the principals with a very short email and also attached my current resume. I am wondering if this was a good idea or does it come off as unprofessional? TIA
If you're applying as an outsider, I would read eve...See MoreI would venture to say that most principals and assistants are hired from within Dodea. Not all of them... but most. Dodea is a unique system and there's a lot to learn about how it works. So being a teacher first is a great way to get your foot in the door and start to learn the system.
If you're applying as an outsider, I would read everything you can about Dodea to make sure you come across as knowledgeable in the interview. Dodea runs things very differently than most stateside districts.
hahaI would agree, as far as principals go. With AP's it is definitely more of a mix in my limited experience (although I would love to be able to see some actual data on the subject).
What is the trick to uploading official transcripts? I had it figured out for last years application but can't remember what I did. Each time the PDF is uploaded it says 'invalid'.
On the Legal Notice page that you have to click on before you login, it says "In an effort to mitigate Cross Site Scripting(XSS) attacks, all data entered into the application will be scanned. Any word or combination of words that constitute an XSS attack will be replaced by the text '[INVALID]'. See the OWASP website for details".
