Qualifications

Who may apply: U.S. citizens and current DoDEA personnel.

To qualify, you must meet the education and experience requirements described below. Experience includes paid, unpaid, and volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations. All qualifying experience is credited. If qualifying based on education, transcripts are required as part of the application.

State or Territory Certification / License

A fully professional, unencumbered state teaching license in the relevant content area, or the state’s equivalent as recognized by DoDEA, satisfies all qualifications for professional teaching education and certification. A Praxis I and II or seven years of Pre‑K‑12 teaching may substitute for an unencumbered license and will require meeting all minimum education requirements, a student‑teaching/internship, and full qualification standards. Applicants claiming military spouse preference under the MSLRA will receive consideration for an encumbered license.

Education

The coursework must have been completed at a regionally accredited U.S. college or university. Applicants must provide official bachelor’s and master’s transcripts (include EDS and Doctorate if applicable). Acceptable degree pathways include:

• Master’s degree in Educational Administration or Educational Leadership.
• Master’s degree reflecting 30 semester hours of graduate coursework, of which a minimum of 20 semester hours are in Educational Administration or Educational Leadership.

Applicants who submit a valid, unencumbered, fully professional administrator license comparable to a DoWEA Assistant Principal and issued by a U.S. state board of education or the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards will be considered to have fulfilled the semester hour requirement for Educational Administration/Leadership.

General experience: A minimum of three years of successful classroom teaching, specialist, or other professional educator experience at the Pre‑K‑12 level is required.

Foreign Education

Foreign degrees and coursework from non‑accredited institutions must be evaluated prior to acceptance. Acceptable evaluation procedures include:

• The work may be evaluated and interpreted by the International Education Research Foundation, Inc., Credential Evaluation Service, Post Office Box 3665, Culver City, CA 90231‑3665.
• The foreign institution that awarded the degree is on a list endorsed by a regionally accredited university or by a state department of education for teacher certification purposes. This requires an English translation of the transcript and a document awarding the degree, together with an authenticated list from an American university or state department of education.
• The work may be evaluated by the graduate division of a regionally accredited university and declared equivalent to similar U.S. undergraduate or graduate work.

Graduates of non‑accredited institutions may have their undergraduate work validated by admission to graduate school and completion of a minimum of five semester hours of credit at a regionally accredited graduate college.

Failure to provide all required information may result in an ineligible rating or affect overall rating.
