Nevada Teaching Salaries

Nevada Teaching Salaries are hovering in the middle of the road among the rest of America. However, when comparing the cost of living with teaching salaries, Nevada is among the top in the nation.

When adding benefits such as fantastic healthcare and dental plans, a Nevada teaching salary is very competitive with other professions in Nevada. In addition, Nevada teachers can decide at what point in life they should make a larger salary.

At any point, you can increase your salary by teaching during the summer (which would make the work year similar to any other profession). Or you can jump up the teaching salary schedule by earning an advanced degree in education.

As you can see below, you can greatly increase your earning potential as a Nevada Teacher if you acquire an advanced degree such as a Master's degree or a Doctorate degree.

** Salaries are from the 2006-2007 Washoe County School District and the Clark County School District Teaching Salary Schedules

When viewing these numbers, keep in consideration such benefits as full dental, long-term disability and quality health insurance. Secondly, these are salaries based on a 182-day or 10-month work year. We encourage you to explore what each school district has to offer you, take into consideration the area in which you wish to live and do the math to see if you will be satisfied. Good luck!
