Oklahoma Teaching Salaries almost tripled the rate of inflation for 2005. Since then, Oklahoma government officials and administrators have stayed persistant with their efforts toward improving Oklahoma's public education.

On Friday December 29^th 2006, Sandy Garrett, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, addressed her priorities when it comes to Oklahoma's goals for public education in 2007:

"Education is the primary driver of the economy and of future prosperity for our state. Without question, the most significant long-term policy issue facing our state is providing sufficient funding for the educationm (Oklahoma Teachers and their salaries) of some 639,000 children in Oklahoma's public schools. "

Bringing in quality teachers who are competent and satisfied with an Olahoma teaching salary, is a primary goal. Oklahoma teachers and adminstrators have much to look forward to when public sentiment and government sentiment are both positively aligned.

Below are a list of Oklahoma teaching salaries for state regulated base salaries and full teacher salaries for a couple different Olahoma school districts after district supplements.

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

** Salaries are from the 2006-2007 Oklahoma Department of Education, Oklahoma City Public Schools and Norman Public Schools

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!
