Couple of QuestionsYes. My husband just started with DoDDs last year and two of our children attend the same high school he's teaching at. The process is really easy, no special hoops to jump through or anything.
Apparently I can't comment today. I figured that was the case but I was curious because in my state, a teacher working outside her content area has three years to certify in that area.
...See MoreI'm assuming you mean a completely separate field than their normal field of expertise which, as Teach stated, I would assume would be no, since that person wouldn't appear on a referral list for an area they weren't certified. If you're talking about something like, AP certification for a subject they already teach, then that would be yes.
Last year, my husband was not AP certified. When he had his first interview, the principal asked him if he would become AP certified in XXXX. My husband said sure. When he had the second interview, this time with the assistant principal, she asked if he would become AP certified in XXXX (different from what the principal asked). My husband said sure again. He was offered the job, accepted, and before we moved here in August last year, he completed the two AP certifications first before we left the states. (BTW, not being secretive with the XXXXs, I just can't remember what the 2 were, other than science related, LOL).
