I recieved some great answers from the questions I already asked. I had a few more things I was wondering:
What visa do DoDEA Japan teachers receive? I already have a marriage visa in Japan, but does this change or become a military visa?
Do DoDEA teachers recieve discounted flights back to the United States? What are some perks to the DoDEA Pacific in Japan?
It seems like a silly question, but I am curious. Does fluency in Japanese have any benefit at the American base schools? Are most/all business conducted in English? I currently work in a 75 percent Japanese environment at the University, and conduct most day to day in Japanese.
What is the average salary of a high school teacher with 6 or so years teaching experience on a base?
I am finally finishing renewing my 7-12 licence in March, and I am filling out the experience forms to add to my state license. I am currently a University Assistant Professor in Japan, but I am very eager to...See More

I was working as an English teacher in Korea when I was hired. I was considered a local hire. I received a salary, benefits, and base access. I was denied flights and housing. I don't know how you would be any different. Call HR before you make any decisions. Ask all of your questions to them. You'll get different asnwers but it's better to underst...See More

The big difference seems to be whether your foreign employer provided those benefits to entice you to move overseas and that you are not offered a position in your current commuting area.

Thank you for the heads up. I would honestly take a position anywhere in Japan. I am sure many offers are situation specific. The only concern before I begin applying is experience. I have an active license to teach social studies 9-12, but I have 6 years teaching literature, English, Oral communication, social studies courses, and various forms o...See More

It's impossible to predict really. Everyone faces long odds of getting hired due to the large number of applicants and small number of jobs.
Many principals seem to place the highest value on recent, relevant experience and certifications that give them some flexibility in hiring, scheduling, etc. Others principals are impressed by other f...See More

I agree with what was said before about the likelihood of being considered a local hire, so make sure to review the contract that sent you to Japan. Only being certified in SS is a disadvantage. You may want to review the qualifications for other areas, maybe even Japanese to see where else you might qualify.
