I have positions open for this coming year. To get that type of money you will need a masters+ 36 units and 15+ years experience. If you only have your bachelors and are starting out the pay is upper 20's but the schedule is the same. Send me a PM and we will get you signed up.

And good luck with all those holidays!!!! I started out at $19,000.00 in Ash Fork my wife was not all that excited but I really liked teaching there with unit 10 a Sunday drive.

Funny how many people think educators have a great deal. Yes, the number of days we work are about 190 - give or take a few depending on the district. But, the time spent planning, grading, writing letters, meeting with parents, attending conferences, sporting, band, and choir events are not computed into our contract. My contract this year was about $50,000. I have a masters degree plus 20 years experience. I am the department chair of counseling, I get a little extra for that. I have to work for 8 days in the summer for free, I get comp days instead, used to get paid for 10. I wrote letters of rec for over 60 kids last year - all at home. They all applied to many colleges. I have 500 plus kids under my case load. Multiple meetings per week keep me out of the office. So, answer emails and writing letters are usually done at home.

 

When i taught, I graded all lab reports and exams at home because my prep hour was used to set up and tear down labs - I had the kids do one lab a week. If I figured out my hourly rate, I may have quit. Thus, I have never figured it out.

 

Starting teachers get about $31,000 or $33,000 per year. There is no way to raise a family on this salary - let alone pay for hunting licenses and tags and gas. I am most likely teaching an online class this summer for a little extra pay - college saving for my kids.

 

But, I would not change professions and I would encourage the right person to join the ranks. There is more to life than money, but, as anyone in education can attest to. Oh, yea, anyone with a college degree can get their teaching classes done in about 18 months......

 

BTW - we need a good physics teacher, any takers??

I'd say, all of them, but I didn't read all the pages before responding.
