What is a dodea teacher?

A DoDEA (Department of Defense Education Activity) teacher is an educator who works in schools that serve the children of U.S. military personnel and Department of Defense employees. These schools operate in the U.S. and overseas, providing a high-quality education that aligns with U.S. academic standards. DoDEA teachers must meet specific certification requirements and often work with a diverse student population. Their role includes creating lesson plans, assessing student progress, and supporting the unique needs of military-connected students.

Dodea Teachers work in schools located on U.S. military bases around the world, serving students who are dependents of military personnel. The work environment is highly collaborative, often involving close coordination with fellow teachers, counselors, and support staff to address the unique needs of a transient and diverse student body. Teachers benefit from a supportive professional community and have opportunities to participate in professional development and leadership roles. The structure of the school year and daily schedule are similar to traditional public schools, but there is a strong emphasis on fostering resilience and celebrating cultural diversity. This unique setting allows for strong relationships with students and families, as well as personal growth in a vibrant, international community.

State or Territory Certification/License. A valid fully professional state teaching license in content areas or the state's equivalent (as DoDEA determines comparable to DoDEA's teacher categories) will be accepted as fulfilling all qualifications for professional teaching education and certification in content areas. To receive full reciprocity the license must be unencumbered, which means a license that is not revoked, suspended, or made probationary or conditional by the state licensing board of education. The Praxis I and II or seven years of teaching at the Prek-12 level can be substituted in lieu of an unencumbered license and will require all minimum education requirements, a student teaching/internship and full qualification standards must all be met. Applicant's claiming military spouse preference under the MSLRA will receive consideration for an encumbered license.

Must meet the Minimum Academic Preparation and Requirements in addition to the category specific requirements.
A minimum of 24 semester hours in English/Language Arts is required. Course work must include a course in each English literature, American literature, composition (writing process). A minimum of 9 semester hours of upper level coursework in English is required.

Minimum Academic Preparation and Requirements. At least a conferred bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution is required. Academic preparation of at least 40 semester hours (SH) in general education course work distributed over such fields as English, history, social studies, mathematics, fine arts, languages, science, philosophy, and psychology is required. In addition, a minimum of 18 SH of professional teacher education course work in such areas as learning process, tests and measurement, educational philosophy, psychology, social foundations, methods of teaching and curriculum applicable to the type and level of the position for which applying is required. The DoWEA Licensure Unit will evaluate state teaching certificates and official transcripts before final job offers are made.

(Note: Speech Language Pathologists, Social Workers, School Nurses, School Psychologists, JROTC Instructors, and non-certified Training Instructors are excluded from the minimum academic preparation requirement.)

Student Teaching or an Internship. Student teaching or an internship as part of an approved teacher education program in an accredited U.S. institution is required. In the absence of an approved student teaching or internship program, applicants may be given credit for one year of successful full-time employment as an educator. Since that one year of employment substitutes for a course, no credit may be given for pay purposes.

(Note: Speech Language Pathologists, Social Workers, School Nurses, Guidance Counselors, School Psychologists, JROTC Instructors and non-certified Training Instructors are excluded from the student teaching requirement.)

Education:

Foreign Degrees and Course Work from Non-accredited Institutions. Credits or degrees earned from a foreign college or university must be evaluated prior to acceptance. Three evaluation procedures are acceptable:

  1. the work must be evaluated and interpreted by a current member of National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). This website provides a list of current organizations who can perform your evaluation. You must select and work directly with one of these organizations.
  2. the foreign institution that awarded the degree is on a list endorsed by a regionally accredited university or on a list endorsed by a state department of education for the purpose of teacher certification in that state (this procedure will require an English translation of the transcript and a copy of the document awarding the degree, together with an authenticated list produced by an American university or a state department of education); and
  3. the work may be evaluated by the graduate division of a regionally accredited university and declared the equivalent of similar undergraduate or graduate work in a U.S. institution.

Graduates of non-accredited institutions may have their undergraduate work validated by admittance to graduate school and completion of a minimum of 5 SH of credit in a regionally accredited graduate college.
