It's essential to research teacher salaries in your area and beyond to land the teaching job with the compensation you deserve. Here's how you can succeed at finding a teaching job that fits your salary needs:

1. Research what teachers in your state are making. The average teacher salary varies between states, cities, and districts. Metropolitan areas often offer higher salaries to compete with other districts for teacher talent. Research the state minimum teacher pay, as some states are known for higher teacher pay.
2. Most public school systems have standardized salary schedules for certified educators and post them publicly on their benefits page. Salary schedules are usually structured to allow you to receive raises for each year of experience and with each advanced degree. Districts with this system usually don't allow salary negotiation. Private schools or public districts with performance-based salary schedules may offer more room for negotiation.
3. Glassdoor's teacher career path can help you navigate the process of becoming a certified teacher. To make your application more desirable, highlight any special skills or advanced degrees you have. Teachers who are willing to coach or have advanced certificates are in demand.

In addition to researching salary, you can also compare the benefits school districts offer for teaching jobs.

• Although many states have state-wide health and retirement benefits, meaning every district in the state offers the same benefits, some states have varying health and retirement benefits between districts. Research the benefit packages of nearby districts to see if one excels in annual value.
• Some school districts offer unique perks to attract talent for teacher jobs. Research possible perks, such as free or reduced sports or attraction tickets.
• Research paid-time-off allowances for each job posting, as the amount of PTO days can vary by district.
