WA state teacher's pay is in the top quartile of the national average. As for it being a living wage, it depends on where you live: the Seattle area is very expenisive compared to other parts of the state. I live in Vancouver, WA and consider the area to be very affordable. Oh, and there is NO state INCOME TAX! AS for ESL, I don't know about that but I do know there are large numbers of non-native speakers of English in SW WA.

I don't know if that information is readily availble.  I would try contacting the principal of the shool that teacher currently works at.  If you really want to push it, you can file for a public release of information.

My wife is a teacher at a K-6 school in the USA.  I think that would be a wonderful idea.

Texas, Washington State, and rural areas.  Check out teach for America, they may be able to give you statistics on much needed teachers in certain areas around the U.S. and the higher pay grades.  Typically, the "richer" the county, they more money that's allocated for teachers. . .check it out

Teachers here are not paid very well. I don't know why. They are paid about 1/3 what a mainland big city teacher would make. I would suggest actually calling some of the schools here and talk to someone in the school. They are all very friendly and probably wouldn't mind talking to you.

Try the Rural Institute which is part of the University of Montana in Missoula Montana.  The one we used was printed in like 98 or something.  Where do you teach?

The pre-school that I was fortunate enough to have been a part of in Minneapolis, MN did.\n\nThe Lead Teacher and myself (Assistant Teacher), took the time to make sure our children practiced etiquette/ethics frequently.  You would be surprised how impressionable and teachable children are on these two subjects at this age.\n\nIt worked excellent!!

I could not find any teachers listed in the local area.  Maybe someone will answer your question directly.  Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I was a DC teaching fellow for two years. It's a long, tough road, and some of us dropped out. People who are used to doing everything well (this kind of program does attract overachievers) suddenly find themselves with days so full they have to do a crappy job at everything. We also find that the teaching culture and administration of DCPS is ridiculously illogical. \n\nAs far as working conditions, I taught for two years in a leaky, moldy annex that was designed to be used for five to ten years and had been used for more than 25. There were asbestos tiles in the floor and ceiling that needed to be removed. A pipe above the ceiling of my classroom would freeze and burst every year. The first year, the leak poured into my classroom library until the whole annex was flooded and a ring of dissolved ceiling material was left about a half inch around the walls in every room in the annex. \n\nOne day, I was trying to teach in two pairs of pants and three tops. My colleagues pointed out to me that the parents of our Ethiopian and Salvadoran children did not dress their children the way I dressed myself. They also put a thermometer in the hallway which showed a temperature of 45 F. That was a "light bulb moment" for me. We doubled up in temporary classrooms with better heat, but when the time came to demolish those classrooms to make way for new construction, we had to teach 6 classes of fifth and sixth graders in the cafeteria for a couple of days before we were ordered to return our classes to the original, nasty annex.\n\nWe had chosen to lose the vacant librarian position in a budget cut, and they moved a class into the school library, cutting off access for other students. We walked our students a mile and a quarter to the public library and a mile and a quarter back to school from time to time. \n\nA water outlet in the building tested at 3 times the EPA's safe levels for lead, and I still believe it was the water fountain across from my classroom. \n\nMost of us are still in teaching, and a few are still in DC even. The ones who are most successful in the DC Teaching Fellows are usually the ones who grew up in DC. I would say that the people in the DC Teaching Fellow office are fabulous people, but there's been a lot of turnover in that office, and I don't know who's there anymore. \n\nI became a DC Teaching Fellow because I wanted to make a difference. I don't know if I did. I felt like I'd been banging my head against a brick wall for two years. I did earn my certificate, but--much to my relief--my job at DCPS was one of hundreds lost in a budget cut.

I use to teach- and LOVED it (most days)- but then I had my kids.  Now that they are young, I tutor in my house.  \n\nIt is convenient and flexible. I love that I can be more relaxed and that I have the opportunity to meet some great kids. \n\nI do however, miss teaching a class of students- When I taught I worked with the whole class, in small groups and one and one all in a given day.  I DO NOT the miss the stress of the politics behind teaching....still I hope to go back someday.... goodness knows when that will be.  In the meantime- I will have to stick to tutoring and visiting this website :) \n\n\nGreat question !
