Wyoming Teaching Salaries

Wyoming Teaching Salaries are currently on the rise. Public sentiment toward Wyoming public education has forced new, more forward thinking proposals to be suggested. While the importance of education toward playing the role of stabilizing an economy is being accepted, the Wyoming government is proposing higher teacher salaries and increased incentives for highly qualified teachers to enter and stay within Wyoming's public educational system.

Through a current (as of January 2007) grant proposal, the Wyoming Department of Education has suggested the following as one of the reasons for a Mathematics and Science Partnership Grant:

Wyoming is committed to providing increasing salary incentives for teachers who earn advanced degrees and solidify themselves as more effective teachers with regard to student achievement.

Below are Wyoming teacher salaries for a few Wyoming school districts. As you can see, you can greatly increase your earning potential as a Wyoming Teacher if you acquire an advanced degree such as a Master's degree or a Doctorate degree.

** Salaries are from the 2006-2007 Sheridan County School District #2, Albany County School District #1 and Carbon County School District teaching salaries

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!
