Spent the day in Clark County, NV which really has done a complete turn-around on teacher recruitment – and the focus has been on teacher pay and putting great principals in schools.<\/p>\n
And the results are pretty impressive – last year at this time there were over 800 teacher openings and this year there are only about 330. \u00a0That is HUGE!<\/p>\n
They went from $34K starting salary to over $40K and if you teach in a high needs school or high needs subject you can get a bonus of $5K. \u00a0But that’s not all – they are stealing experienced teachers from other states by pledging to pay what you are making in your current role.<\/p>\n
So if you have one year experience in San Jose, CA and making $70K there, you can earn $70K here in Las Vegas, pay no state tax, have a much better cost of living and go from there on the salary band. \u00a0HUGE.<\/p>\n
So they are filling positions but still have a gap which is why we are working so hard to understand what Teachers of Tomorrow can do here. But it does appear that a significant jump in pay can work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
