You need a degree in order to teach. They have openings all of the time due to PCSing families. I have seen people go and be a substitute teacher with DOD schools and work on their degree and then get their foot into the door as a teacher.
If you look at the website SFC Attardi posted each listing will tell you what the requirements are. My wife worked as a sub/special needs assistant in Germany and they wanted her to get a degree and become a teacher. A lot easier to get a job when you already have your foot in the door and they know who you are and how you work.

Thanks! I already have a Bachelor's and Master's in Education and have my certification in K-6 so I'm hoping to find a full time teaching position, but I'm not ruling out any position at this point.

Worst case you can sub - easy job, good pay and if you are good they will call you in everyday.
You may have to wait until PCS time to apply for the jobs. My wife used USA Jobs to apply for her positions when she was in Germany.

To be honest with you, with all the cutbacks and the talk of closing down many DODEA schools and facilities overseas, you may not be able to, my best advice would be to look up a website for the duty station you are trying to get to where the school (s) would be located via Google, AKO, etc. and then go to the site and check on their school contact information. Then contact the school or the country liaison contact and ask for the requirements and how to apply for available positions if any are open.
Just my two cents from past experience for family members from years back.
