haha No problem. When figuring finances, don't forget to take in account housing costs (you probably wouldn't have any), the cost of living (it may be lower/much lower) and the tax situation (you would likely not have to pay US taxes and local taxes are likely to be less than you are paying now).

Feb 19, 2020

I wish to teach at a DODEA school in Europe when I retire from my current position in 3 years. Any help getting started and making contacts is greatly appreciated.

haha Well, first off, try posting on the DoD board, as this board is pretty dead. There really aren't too many ways to make meaningful contacts that will help you get hired in Europe, aside from doing your student teaching at a DoDEA school there, or possibly working for a DoDEA school stateside.

If DoDEA is your goal, then your best bet is to ...See More

TQSA Questions

Hello,

I would humbly like to thank all of you who have provided invaluable feedback to those of us who are attempting to enter the DODEA system or in the process of entering the system.

I would humbly like to thank all of you who have provided invaluable feedback to those of us who are attempting to enter the DODEA system or in the process of entering the system. I have been eyeing a position with DODEA for the past 2 years and in my first year of applying as a special education teacher this year I was blessed with an offer to teach in Germany! Honestly, the experience and wisdom offered by those of you who take time to offer thoughtful and well-informed information was invaluable! I am so grateful.

Now that I have accepted my position, I am wondering if anyone is aware of what is covered in per diem stateside? How is per diem allocated and what is covered? I have not been able to get a straight answer on this. On my orders it simply gives a flat rate, but it does not break down what is covered or for how much or for how long.

The challenge in this case is that my family and I started the process of getting our passports executed on a military installation here in CA almost three months ago and after submitting our passport applications it was discovered that the military passport agent did not fill something out correctly in his portion of the application and this in turn caused the passports to be placed in suspension with the State Dept. After being notified of this I again resubmitted the passport applications and was told for weeks that the applications had not been processed. Upon checking in with the person serving as our passport point of contact, I was informed that the State Department was back logged due to the government shut down and that our passports were not currently being processed. When our passports were finally getting processed, I was told that my wife and I needed to resubmit, again, copies of our ID's which we'd already done for a second time when we resubmitted the passport applications.

As of today, neither my family nor myself have our passports, and I have shipped out all of our household goods along with our vehicles. We have been living in a hotel along with renting a vehicle for almost three weeks and our report date has been passed by several days. I have been in contact with my HR point person and the person in charge of the passports on just about daily basis for weeks, so everyone knows what is happening.

The good news is, we are close to receiving our passports (this weekend as I understand it). We are in the process of requesting new orders, so we can then request travel arrangements.

My question now is really about TQSA. I'm not sure what the protocol is under such transitory/hardship circumstances around extending TQSA, but I really hope that it is indeed possible to have my TQSA extended to cover our expenses during our unanticipated time here stateside.

Does anyone know what amount is allocated for lodging expenses per day? What is allocated for food per day? What is allocated for transportation per day; etc…? Am I eligible for an extension of my stateside TQSA if I must stay stateside past my original orders stated date of departure? Also, who do I contact to start getting reimbursed for the expenses that are covered, as the money we are spending is adding up fast.

Thank you in advance!

International school vs. DODEA

by Sara

It has been my dream to move abroad and teach for as long as I can remember. I have an active application with the DODEA and am hoping to get hired for next school year. My dream would be to teach in Europe, but am willing to start somewhere else to get my foot in the door. I have done some research into international schools as well, but am having...See More

haha They are generally considered a fairly low level agency. OK for new teachers or if you aren't very particular about your school or location (or really, really just need a job).

If you are serious about int'l teaching you should check out Int'l Schools Review's forums (much more active) and think about joining Search Associates (several hun...See More
