Most people do get hired in Korea or Japan first but it does happen that people get hired to Europe. In our case we landed Europe for our first posting and then transferred TO Japan (because we had been there before with an int'l school and couldn't wait to get back).
SPED is a good area to have. You shoul...See More

Teach, I saw the link that tells how many courses are needed in each area. However, I didn't see the SPED categories listed (LIMM, LIMS, and EI). Maybe I'm looking at the wrong page. Can you paste the link? Thanks for all of your help!

Generally it's pretty much a non-factor that you are applying together since DoDDS treats you as two completely separate applications (as opposed to international schools where you would be applying as a couple which can be a great advantage)
On the other hand, if the both you getting hired at the same time is a deal breaker for you then y...See More

Teach, I'm new to this process. Would you mind explaining the transfer round? Do teachers from let's say Japan or Korea get first choice to go to Europe?

After serving several years at a location you are eligible to transfer. Basically, it's a lot easier to transfer to europe from korea or parts of Japan. I'm not in Dodea yet, applied exactly a year ago. I too, wanted only Europe and was told it would be hard, and it is. I've got 17 years of teaching experience, a Master's degree, multiple special E...See More

That's crazy. Especially since you can't just move overseas at the drop of a hat -- even without the freeze, it would be a few weeks for paperwork and travel orders and such. This is just another unnecessary delay for you, the students, and the school! Makes no sense. I'd like to see Trump teach a bunch of students in an overcrowded class!
haha
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the further guidance will come soon and it will be reasonable (as in since they don't issue start dates until your orders have actually been cut this shouldn't apply to these types of offers/positions). Hang in there.

My principal told me that the hiring freeze does not affect any positions that were offered and accept prior to the freeze. It's not definitive because they can sometimes get things wrong (or are told wrong information from District) but that seems to be the case.

Thanks haha. I know you can't give me a 100% assurance of this, but it does make me feel a little bit better. Thank you so much for your response!

It's standard practice actually. The list is really only published for current DoDDS teachers to look and decide whether they want to apply for a transfer to one of those listed positions. Now that the whole process is closed (except for the actual notification of who is going where) there is no need to keep it available.
