Just wondering if I have a shot at securing a SPED position with a BA + 75 (I did my undergrad then later entered the teaching program at Cal. State) and CA Certs: Mild/Mod SPED, Adapted PE, PE, Multi-Subj. I also have 10 vet. preference points plus 9 yrs teaching experience.

I suspect that I am up against people w/ MA's or Ed.S who have many more yrs experience, but I applied anyhow.

Thank you!

haha It was perfectly clear. Sorry if my response was not clear.

I was trying to say that not having an Ed. S or MA should not put you at a great disadvantage, given your years of experience. The biggest factor will be the certification areas you are considered qualified in for DoDEA.

Icanread I don't have a masters but am a teacher for Dodea. It really depends on your certs and what is needed.
