Need information on the salary and the benefits of being a teacher
This is actually a tougher question than it looks! If you’re looking for information on how to become a teacher, I would check with local universities that offer teacher education programs. They aren’t all the same; they start at different times, have different pre-requisites, and offer different classes.
As far as the salary goes, unless you’re in a state like WA that has a standardized salary table for public schools, you’ll have to check district by district. Most schools are hiring now, or have recently finished hiring, so their salary tables will be up on the district website. Also, the salary changes dramatically depending on the credentials you have to teach; master’s students earn more than bachelor’s students, and so on.
The benefits of being a teacher…. well, the answer to this depends on what kind of benefits you’re looking for. If you’re a public school teacher, you get really good benefits when it comes to medical and dental type benefits. If you’re talking about emotional benefits that come from working as a teacher, well, those are pretty good too- I love it! You have to be someone that wants to teach though. Around 50% of teachers leave the profession within the first three years. It isn’t an easy job!
Good luck!
