Hi everyone. I am hoping that someone with a bit more experience can answer a few questions. My family (husband and son) very much want to move to Germany through a teaching position with the DODEA. I applied for a position for the 2019-20 school year already on the EAS platform. I know it is early, BUT I'm super anxious and excited.

If you are with DoDEA then you would generally go through your area HR person.

haha There are many colleges that offer online courses. Check PDI, Learner's Edge and University of La Verne for fairly cheap and quick classes. Otherwise, google and check school sites for classes with gifted, talented, etc. in the title.

No, AVID is a specific class for certain students (not gifted, not SPED generally) that teaches organizati...See More
