How much do elementary school teachers make?

Question

i live in washington.. state, not d.c., so i would really like to know recent washington pay levels, although if you live somewhere else i'd still like to know. i am planning on getting my masters, so i think its a bit more, but i'm not positive.

Answer 1

Go to the various public school systems websites for the counties you are interested in teaching.  You can usually just google them ("blank" county public school system) .  I don't know about Washington state for sure, but every state I know of, leaves educational budgets up to the individual counties (or large cities).  Once you are on the county's website find the human resources page.  There should be something titled "salary scale" or something similar.  This will give you the most accuract information for the specific area you are looking for.  Salary scales are usually set up to show you how much you'll make depending on the number of years teaching and education level.
