Does anyone know what salary range I would most likely be starting at? I am having trouble finding a breakdown of average starting teacher salaries by city in the state of Ohio. I have my B.A. in English Literature, my M.A. in English Literature, and I will be graduating with my M.Ed in Curriculum & Instruction with my State of Ohio Teaching License this coming May. I don't know if age makes a difference in hiring and pay decisions but I am 24. Concluding graduation I will have had an entire year of student teaching.

Contact the Ohio board of education and get a copy of the salary pay scale for public schools... you can also access this information on their website. Pay is determined by your education hours earned and the number of years of professional teaching experience (student teaching is not considered professional teaching experience in Ohio). If you are planning to teach at a private school, you may contact them individually for a copy of their salary scale. Most can send you a copy via email. In general, starting salaries will be higher in northeastern and southwestern parts of the state (such as Cuyahoga county). Lower starting salaries will be in northwestern and central counties.

I'm in NY, and beginning salaries are closer to the low 30s. Ohio is probably pretty close to those numbers. Each district pays differently. Public schools pay far more than private schools, for the most part. The fact that you have a Masters in Curr and Instr should help you a lot. Pay might be a little higher for you than a classroom teacher, if you go that route.
Age makes no difference on the payscale, it is strictly years of service.

Congratulations!
Unfortunately, public school teaching salaries are quite low. Here in CA, we start between the low to mid-$30K's.
Beyond this, I would suggest contacting the individual school district websites to ascertain salaries.
Good Luck and Happy New Year!

Check with the school districts in the area. In New York, all districts have their own contracts, so they all have different salary schedules. The basic starting salary in New York is in the low $40K's.

You can be sure that you'll earn nowhere near what you should earn. Teachers educate the future generations and are grossly underpaid. Check out salary.com for info on average salaries in particular areas (you need to enter you zip code)

You'd have to contact the school districts to find out how their pay scale works, and at what pay level you would be placed, based upon your education.
* In the area in California that I live in, beginning teachers start in the low $40,000s.

It will depend what school district you are in. Check the school district on the web.
