1.) I noticed in my application that I was qualified to teach Grade 1-6 and Special Education: Mild Learning Impairment and have state certifications in both, but when I look at my qualifications under national board/state certified it says not qualified. I've emailed HR and waiting to hear from them, but I am curious to see if anyone else has had this issue.
2.) Also: I am wondering what other qualifications I should look at in order to make myself a stronger candidate. What are some viable schooling options people have used when looking to add additional certifications? I've used University of Phoenix in the past and it gets the job done but can be pricey.
Thanks for the help!

I have seen them substitute experience for credit, though. O...See More

I just looked it up and what you said is on their site. I've worked for DoDEA for 10 years so I haven't looked at bringing in a license for so long, I've just added areas based on additional degrees or coursework. That's something they should really post under each area as it makes a big difference. You advocated for yourself and that's really impo...See More

You are both correct in some fashion. DoDEA cares most about degrees/credits/SH's as that is ultimately how they award "qualified" status in any given subject area (with some minor exceptions where experience can substitute for credits, as posted).
State certs are not required but yes, they do generally cut the required SH's in half, which...See More
