    The staff and higher ups are very supportive of the administration, staff, and students. They provide many opportunities for collaborations across many schools in our district as well as many educational and extracurricular opportunities for students to become successful contributors to our global society.

    I really enjoyed working for DODEA. I learned a lot about instructional activity and learned about valuable resources that accommodate student learning. It was very rewarding working with children and helping to shape their little minds. DODEA provides ample opportunities for professional development and provides the training need for each employee to be successful. The downside is for the position I worked the pay was really low and some could benefit from leadership training.
    When I joined the Army in 2017, I was shocked by the change in culture and had a rough time at first, but now that I'm used to it and taking advantage of my education benefits, I'm starting to see just how much the military goes through to take care of its Soldiers and civilian employees.
