What’s the top pay for teaching in your district? For ours, even an educator with. PhD and $25 years experience will NEVRR hit $100,000/year. Why have we as a society accepted this and how has it impacted us a women?

I moved from another state to Ohio. I had 15 years but only got credit for 10 and retirement starts at 0. You can buy up to 5 years if you have the money. So something to consider if you change states. However, with 17 years & MA+30 I make about 90,000, which sounds like a lot but we live paycheck to paycheck. However, for me, it was a significant bump in pay from where I was. When I first started teaching, my salary was so low I could have qualified for food stamps.

With 76% of America’s teaching force being women, low teaching salaries impact women adversely, both with take-home pay and retirement savings. It reflects society’s long-held patriarchal beliefs that women’s work is not highly valued. I have 14 years and a Ph.D., and I only earn $70,000.00 annually. Although I really enjoy teaching, I’m looking for an administrative job because I can’t afford to pay off my student loans.

40+ years = $80,000 🤯🤬 I know the cost of living in Texas is much cheaper and all, but at 20+ years, educators should be making at least 6 figures for their expertise and the amount of time dedicated to the profession and professional growth of other educators too! Texas needs to do better to retain the good teachers!

Fixer upper houses in my neighborhood are starting at $500k. A house in decent condition is $600k+. Denver doesn’t have ‘starter homes.’ If you’re lucky enough to get a home…..you stay in it.

Even teachers making $100k need a partner to survive in Denver.

We don’t get additional pay for
Masters or PhD (unless grandfathered in). I’ll max out at around $60,000. NC wonders why all their teachers are leaving the profession. It’s because they’re tired of all the extra work and then having to pick up side hustles and part time jobs to make ends meet. Teachers get steps in their salary until year 15 and then NO RAISES FOR TEN YEARS.

On either west or east coast it’s common to make 6 figures with or without a PhD. Just finished my 18th year of teaching and making 106k. The top pay is 131k with 30 years experience and a PhD. You just have to teach in a state that pays teachers well which is on the left or right coast.

All these teachers commenting six figures makes me want to cry. My district tops out at $70k with a 1k stipend for a masters and 1.5k for doctorate.

Ours is 130,000 then years after step 19 you get $4,000 increments

Current arena- after 25 years= $63,000 with a possible supplement of 10k (but that can always go away).
I'm not sure, but I've taught in two very different arenas: 1 where if teachers would strike because they were unafraid, they would get paid a fare wage. In that arena the current highest salary as of 2023 is over $114,000. It paid off.
In #2 where teachers can only $63k, no teachers have ever collectively went on strike to not teach until a livable wage was set. I guess it starts with mentality and self worth, then coming together knowing the risk is worth it.

I believe my district tops out in the mid 80k range as base pay with max eduction and longevity. Realistically most of the people with those terminal degrees also have extra duty contracts that add on another few thousand dollars because they're doing some kind of specialist work in addition to regular teaching. It's not bad, but rural Alaska cost of living is high so it doesn't go as far as it should.
