DODD Teachers Chatboard

Thanks! I have a few in mind I think I might send to just to see what happens. (I guess it's back to the comment button not working because I couldn't reply to your comment).

To Certification

by haha

I believe that DoDDS only recognizes their own professional certifications. Other than that, they will accept a state certification in a specific subject to the extent that it cuts the normally required credit hours in half.

In general I would agree that it would be a waste of time and energy given what I have seen of DoDDS admin and the hiring process. It's not taboo but also not exactly likely to endear you to principals who are anxious to avoid any hint of impropriety in their hiring practices. Most would likely ignore it.

haha Tough to say. could be a glitch. Could be someone from HR was auditing applications and saw something they wanted clarification on. Most likely a glitch.

When in doubt, pick up the phone and call.

happyteacher Yay! A phone call and an email and I am back to qualified! They weren't sure why 2 of my certs moved from qualified to pending, but I'm glad it is fixed and I will keep an eye on my application in the future.
