West Virginia Teaching Salaries

West Virginia Teaching Salaries have been low and slow to rise over the past few years. However, all states surrounding West Virginia are privy to the future of education which is to reward the best teachers with high salaries and incentives to continue the betterment of their teaching.

From a January 10^th 2007 press release from the West Virginia Department of Education:

Incentives for increasing a teacher's salary is the future for not only West Virginia, but the rest of the nation as well. The public and government are beginning to understand the correlation between highly qualified, monetarily satisfied teachers and highly educated students.

Below are West Virginia teaching salaries for a few West Virginia School Districts. As you can see, you can greatly increase your earning potential as a West Virginia Teacher if you acquire an advanced degree such as a Master's degree or a Doctorate degree.

** Salaries are from the 2005-2006 Mingo County, Doddridge County and Pleasants County Teaching Salaries

When viewing these numbers, keep in consideration such benefits as full dental, long-term disability and quality health insurance.
