In addition to location, teacher salaries also vary a great deal depending on each teachers’ education and years of experience. Teacher salaries may also depend on whether the institution is a public or private school. In general, teachers at private schools will have a lower salary but a private school may be the way to go if you are interested in teaching directly out of college before getting your certification. All teachers must have a college degree, and most public schools require that a teacher also have certification. For state-specific information on teacher certification, visit the University of Kentucky College of Education’s “50 State’s Certification Requirements”.
Employment for teachers is expected to grow by 12 percent between 2006 and 2016, which is about as fast as the average growth rate for all occupations. Preschool and kindergarten teachers are expected to have the highest job growth with a rate of 23 percent, while secondary school and vocational school teachers are projected to have the lowest job growth. Special education teachers are also in higher demand and these jobs are expected to grow at a rate of 15 percent, which is faster than average.

WOW…maybe a they should hire a math teacher to check their figures–they don’t add up. It’s impossible for the average of 48,50,51,52,51,52,and 53 to be 26!
Hi Rick, I think what this shows is snippets of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It’s not meant to show the entire data from the BLS, which is quite large. You can check out the entire thing here http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos069.htm but it will take some digging
I think people looking at the top salaries for teaching should also take in account the cost of living in many of these areas is extremely high nationally. I am looking for a teaching position with high pay in an area with a low cost of living.
