My school district, 214, in the Northwest suburbs of Illinois, is a public school district that pays their teachers really well. I couldn't tell you starting salary, but I know of quite a few older teachers making well over $100,000 a year.\nCheck us out!\nhttp://www.dist214.k12.il.us/

YES!  DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE HOW A TEACHER ONLY GETS PAID $30,000 A YEAR. AN ATHELETE WHO CAN'T HARDLY SPELL BUT CAN MAKE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS!

Raise the pay for the teachers so the good ones will stay in education.   Have better methods for evaluating the teachers so the really bad teachers are removed.   Teaching is more than a job and those that aren't in it for the kids needs to leave.   Teachers need to eat and enjoy life so their salary's should be comparable to any other professional persons salary that requires the training and the sacrifices a teacher must make to teach.   They need the respect of parents and the support of the community.   Less Administration and their high salaries and concentrate on the child, with the best teachers, more materials and less frills.   Back to the basics in elementary school, exploration in the middle school, and specialized training in high school with three types of diplomas, Academic- for college bound, commercial - for business  and general for those who are just there in body and go Thur the motions of getting an education.   An exit exam would be a good idea if someone could come up with a good exit exam.

It would have been better if you would have been more specific i.e. teacher teaching to which class or subjects. In India salary of teacher differs on the basis of the location, type of school, government, private, public school, class - different grades, subject - some subject teacher get paid more. Having said that salary can range from as little as USD 100 per month to USD 5000+.

I am currently a Pre-school Teacher. The difference in the pay amounts is going to be if you have a degree(early childhood education) or not. With a degree you will make more than if you did not have one. It also depends on the state where you reside. State to state teachers pay is drastic. Get on line and research the pay rates for teachers in your state. Also private pre-schools tend to pay more than state funded ones. \n       If you have a spouse who is willing to share in the finances to start than I really do not see a problem with you being able to make it. Doing it alone is a struggle but I believe that to be with any job that is not a "high end" job. Trust your gut. You will be fine!!!

In most states teachers are not paid well.  In many states welders are well paid, it all depends on how hard you are willing to work.

I teach in a small rural school in IN.  Our system starts a new teacher @ $30,000 per year with more for taking on extra duties.\n\nA teacher in the well-to-do burbs of Indy starts out around $40,000.

In Canada, it's $36 000.00 per year without a degree (just your teaching license) or $46 000.00 per year with a degree BA or BSc and your teaching license.  Also, if you have a double degree, or a master's degree the starting salary is even higher.  \n\nThat's much higher than $14.00 per hour.

Generally speaking the further north and/or you go the better the salaries are. Some norhern states had signing bonuses almost double their annual salaries a few years back. It might be worth checking into. Also, a lot of northern states don't want to hire inexperience teachers (so I've heard), so if you have experience you might have a leg up.

Every state sets its own guidlines for teacher salaries in public high schools. Generally, you are not paid by the hour. The state of California says that beginning teachers should be paid no less than $38,000 per year, but that is a guideline, not a law.

$46,597\n\n"For the first time since the 1999-2000 school year, the average teacher salary failed to keep up with inflation, according to the AFT's latest salary survey.  The AFT teacher salary survey found that the average teacher salary in the 2003-04 school year was $46,597, a 2.2 percent increase from the year before.  This falls short of the rate of inflation for 2004, which was 2.7 percent.  In addition, many states are attempting to drastically reduce or eliminate pension and healthcare benefits, which were negotiated as part of their compensation."

It depends upon how much experience you have in the classroom.  There is a salary schedule on the New York City Department of Education web page that looks like salaries start at $41,172.  Look under Employees, then Teachers/School Based Staff, then Salary Schedules\nhttp://www.nycenet.edu/Offices/DHR/

Preschool teachers in private daycares earn substantially less that those in the public school system. In the Chicago Public Schools, preschool teachers' starting salary is the same as other new elementary teachers. Teachers now start in the high 40's if they are state certified with a Bachelor's degree.

Each state in the United States has a different pay scale, and you need to compare Cost of Living to get a real picture of where the pay is best.\n\nIn New Mexico (my state), we have a 3-tier license system that was started about 2 years ago (before that, it was a ladder system based on years in the profession and level of college degree).\n\nAll teachers in New Mexico start at $30,000 per year as a beginning (Level 1) teacher. After 3 - 5 years of teaching, they go through a dossier process to gain Level 2 licensure. Starting this upcomming year, Level 2 will earn $40,000 per year (this year it was $35,000).\n\nAfter at least 3 years at Level 2, and a Master's Degree, the teacher has the option of pursuing a Level 3 licence through another dossier process. Right now, Level 3 earns the same as Level 2. However, in the 2008 - 2009 school year, Level 3 is supposed to go up to $50,000 per year.\n\nWe also have very good medical benefits, a state retirement pension plan (hope it's still there when I retire...lol), and excellent life and disability insurance.

http://www.njea.org/\n\nSixty-three percent of New Jersey’s public schools have achieved starting salaries at or above $40,000 since the inception of the “$40K-Right Away” campaign. Not to be outdone, Summit Education Association in Union County has joined Westfield Education Association in achieving a starting salary above $50,000 in 2007-08, setting the stage for a new goal: “50K-The First Day.”

I tried to find some good global comparisons.  What you can make somewhere else has a lot to do with what you do.\nSo, one of the easier ways to do it is through salary comparisons based on global location.  I've tried to put some reference material for you to look at.  It's important to have a base, so the salary chart for teachers is the place to start.  Then try and go comparisons from there.\n\nHere's an example from Greece (it's near Italy and part of the EU like Italy).  I did a convert from Euro to Dollars and reduced by the 15% and came up with $8.50 per hour.  In this case, they also provide housing.  \nJust a reference;  \nhttp://www.anglo-hellenic.com/teachers/remuneration.htm\n\nHere's a link for High School Teachers in the US:\nhttp://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=High_School_Teacher/Salary/show_all\n\nHere's elementary teachers in the US:\nhttp://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Elementary_School_Teacher/Salary/show_all\n\nUnrelated:  Interesting link on teaching in Italian Public Schools\nhttp://www.transitionsabroad.com/publications/magazine/0409/teaching_english_in_italy_public_school.shtml\n\nAnd another really good article on teaching in Italy, including tutoring rates:\nhttp://www.transitionsabroad.com/publications/magazine/0501/finding_work_teaching_english_in_italy.shtml\n\nThis looks like an excellent resource to find update on the market and jobs:\nhttp://www.teachitaly.com/\nhttp://www.teachitaly.com/joblist.htm - joblist but no salary :(\n\nSorry I couldn't find any listings that have positions with Salaries. \n\nHope some of this help.\n\nTake Care,\n\nTBG

Your best bet that I know of is Japan or Korea. Private tutors there can earn as much as $60 per child per hour. Do the math and it sure does beat your teacher salary here.\nI did it back in 1997.
