Thank you both for the replies.

I understand DODDS are in a transition state right now but I think it is worth it to me personally and professionally to keep my application updated.

I enjoy teaching SPED and I also miss the military family/community so for me it would be the best of both worlds.

Any ideas on how I could contact a current DODDS Special Education teacher? I would be very interested to find out what current teachers think of DODDS SPED programs.

Happy New Year!

Gina

Hello,


I understand getting a DODDS job for 2013/2014 is next to impossible but I have applied anyway. I have a solid teaching position now so I am prepared to wait it out for years to come if need be.

My application is complete in EAS and I am certified in Humanities and Social Studies. In May I will complete my Masters (SPED) with the required coursework/license to certify through DODDS in Special Education K-12. I have taught SPED for 2 out of my 5 years teaching.

In May will I still be able to update my application in EAS for the 2013/2014 school year with my SPED credentials? As I understand it I will have to confirm my application in March?

My husband is prior military so my resume reflects our moves and thus my work experience at a number of different CONUS public schools. Will the fact that I have made so many moves hurt my resume? I have heard having too many job moves looks bad. My husband is now out of the military and I have been at my current school for 3 years.

My husband has also applied for non-teaching DOD jobs overseas so I possibly could find myself applying as a local hire if he were to get a job that would PCS us over. Would I rate LQA as a local hire or just my salary?


Thanks for any help!
