Hey everyone! So my wife is beginning the application process to the DoDEA and I had a few questions. First, I don't believe this will be a problem but I want to know if she is qualified enough to be considered a "good" candidate. She has her Master's Degree, is currently in her 5th year of teaching, and does multiple extracurricular activities(student council, peer mediation, track coaching, field hockey coaching). Is this a solid resume?

My next question is about the process. I am currently a student and will be graduating December 2019. So she is applying for the 2019/2020 school year. When do interviews for these positions begin?

HistoryTeacher If your wife is teaching in a Common Core state, it would be good to highlight the experience in the application, especially if her students take the PARCC and are getting good results. Also, DoDEA is all about professional collaboration and teacher-leaders these days, so that's something else that's good to emphasize if applicable.

Jello76 How would you suggest highlighting things like that? Not turning in a resume is kind of freaking me out. The system is almost too easy. Do you just list CCSS or being a teacher leader in the skills area?

HelpOthers The College and Career Readiness/Common Core experience and PARCC experience can be highlighted in the narrative on the experiences page. This narrative location is a great place to list anything not already mentioned in the application. However, the characters are limited.
