Mike, when you say "we can save $50K," does that mean you and your teaching spouse? What would a single w/ no dependents with 4 years teaching experience be looking at salary-wise? Does ASD have a Special Ed. teaching staff? Do you know if ASD, Awsaj Academy, and Qatar Academy have similar pay and benefits?
Thank you
Thank you

DOD SpEd- Many Questions for 2014-2015!
1) Are DOD SpEd teaching positions more prevalent in a particular region? I've read that it is easier to find DOD teaching jobs in Korea and Japan vs Europe- does that hold true for SpEd teachers as well? My preference would be Europe...
I am seeking input from those with DOD insight about my current marketability as a DOD schools SpEd teacher applicant...
I am relatively new to formal classroom teaching- in my 3rd year as a public elementary classroom SpEd teacher for students with mild to moderate learning disabilities- I also manage two Instructional Aids that work with me.
In addition to my 'Cleared' Mild/Mod credential, I also have an APE credential, Autism cert., and ESL cert. In California, these credentials qualify me for teaching K-12 (and beyond- to 22yrs).
I have been with the same district for all 3 yrs, have taught some APE (one student on my caseload requires it as per the IEP), and taught Transition (18-22yrs) summer school this past summer.
My self-contained classroom has 15 K-5 students- we differentiate like no ones business!
In addition, I have a K-8 Gen Ed credential, and a K-12 PE credential, and a Exercise/Sports Science degree with an emphasis on strength and conditioning coaching (although it's been a few years since I've been involved with coaching).
I do have some experience (18 months) working with adjudicated ED HS age students in group homes, as a Recreation Specialist, but without an ED (or any kind of) cert. Nonetheless, I taught health and PE classes in which they earned HS credit- this was pre-credential.
I also have an 'Honorable' discharge from the Navy where I served as a Line Corpsman (combat medic) for the 1st Marine Division- this involved many formal and informal teaching opportunities/classes with my Marines: combat first-aid, STD prevention, CPR, etc.
I have good/excellent rapport with my administrators, and many letters of reference from past employers.
I am single w/out dependents, early 40's, and in excellent health.
2) Am I a strong candidate?
3) Are the current cut backs at DOD schools affecting SpEd teaching jobs?
4) My opposition to including Korea/Japan in my application is mainly due to my new car- I've read that it's a royal pain to get it up to Korean/Japanese standards (although it is a California car, with highest EPA restrictions/standards in U.S.) Is this a worthy concern?
5) Are SpEd Teacher candidates informed any earlier than June/July as to whether or not they got the job?
6) Does HR consider applicants any earlier than the cut-off dates posted with the job announcements? Does it matter when submitting my application, to get it in as early as possible?
I know this is a lot, I tried to keep it succinct.
Thank you.

DODEA Prior Military
Does anyone know if a military vet would get any portion of service time transferred into years towards teaching retirement when teaching as a DOD teacher?
I am a Special Ed teacher in California with 8 years of prior service time.
