Never be the first one to suggest a salary. The first person to state a price during negotiations usually loses. It's showing most of your cards right off.
Let them say a figure first. Then you can decide whether you think it's fair, too little, or more than you expected. They know the job better than you do, so they're actually in a better position to say what it's worth.
I've known several people who have lucked into thousands more than they expected by keeping their mouth shut. If the offer is too low, you can always come back and say something like, "Well. I really believe that with my background, I'm worth at least $XX,XXX."
Remember to leave yourself room to negotiate. If you really need $50,000, to maintain your lifestyle, then ask for $55,000 or $60,000. They will probably try to get you to come down. If you leave yourself wiggle room, then you can end up with the salary that you really need.

Never, bring up the salary situation!! That just shows the employers you are more worried about money (we all are) and not about the job (they want someone who is motivated work-wise). Be sure to do all your research BEFORE you go on the interview, like benefits, and perks. If they dont offer too many benifits you can always accomodate your asking price to meet those criterias.
Go to www.salary.com and search based on your experience, state you live in and current wages for that specific task/job. You'll be able to get an idea of what to ask for, keeping in mind you may have to negotiate down, so dont settle for less, but dont exaggerate when you aim high!

Take into account how much you would make plastering full-time if it is full-time teaching position...you should at least make 1.5 of what you would make working as a plasterer...you need to get paid well if they want you to stick around and teach.

put "open" in the slot. that way you can discuss w/o seeming greedy or giving a reason for them to turn you down.
