Become a Teacher in Maryland

Maryland is one of the few states that was able to keep up and even surpass rates of inflation with teacher salaries. In 2005, Maryland ranked 12th with $52,331*, a 4% gain from 2004. Maryland has also continually ranked high among the nation's states with subject proficiencies in all subjects. There is little doubt that such success is a testiment to Maryland's strict desire to employ only the best and most qualified teachers and administrators.

Future Maryland Teachers: Now is an excellent time to become a teacher in Maryland. Mentoring programs are being established and becoming mandatory in many school districts. The Maryland State Department of Education has coordinated with schools in an effort to aid professional development. The connection between competent, highly educated, well supported teachers and the success of students is undeniable. Experienced Maryland teachers and administrators have established professional development for themselves and incoming teachers as part of the job description. This is great news for those who are able to get their foot in the door and snare a teaching job. For those contemplating entering the field of education in Maryland, this might also be one of the obstacles. However, if you are motivated and eagerly want to make a difference in your community, this should be something to celebrate. The profession of a teacher is being taken much more seriously these days. So, acquire marketability in Maryland's educational job market, and earn yourself a Bachelor's degree, Master's degree or PhD from a top ranked, accredited university.

Current Maryland Teachers and Administrators: There is little need to express the necessity for a quality, advanced education for teachers and administrators in Maryland. The information has been articulated and is currently being processed by all of Maryland, better funding and highly qualified teachers who understand all facets of educating students equals a successful Maryland future. With this understanding, if you are a current Maryland teacher without an advanced degree from a high quality university, the coals under your feet are heating up. If you have a desire to become part of Maryland's public educational leadership taking us into a better, more educated future, then a post graduate education is a must. Learn about data-driven decision making, better resource management, modern teaching theories, best practices for community relations, incorporation of technology, ethical leadership and much more. Earn your Master's degree, PhD or Administrative Credentials and help be part of Maryland's future success.

"I decided to go to graduate school and earn my Master of Arts in Education because I am inspired by new knowledge. I feel in order to perform my job to the best of my ability, I need to keep up with current practices and trends in the field of education."
- Sara Marvez -- 6th grade science teacher

"Gaining my Masters degree has earned me respect from Administrators and colleagues. Also, my salary has benefitted greatly. The cost of graduate school was paid off in only a couple years."
- Thomas Bjornson -- high school english teacher

"Postgraduate study was a personal goal of mine and completing my Masters degree has given me a great sense of personal satisfaction, it has also increased my efficiency in the classroom and my marketability in the job market."
- Janet O'Reilly -- 8th grade social studies teacher

"I found my online courses efficient and friendly. I had a desire to go to graduate school, but I didn't want to go through the nonsense of another undergraduate degree, bumping shoulders with students a third my age who have very little understanding of real life or the benefits of real knowledge. A friend recommended online education and I haven't looked back since.

At the age of 53, I love my job more than ever. I get so much satisfaction knowing that many of my students respect me for what I do as a teacher.

I am able to face any sort of situation that arises in my classroom with complete confidence."
- Jonathan Lloyd -- high school chemistry teacher
