So how much credit would I get for 3 years in NYC???



Nothing is set in stone, it is totally up to the individual district.

I think on average they knock off a year or two.



I taught for 6 years in NYC and they credited me with 3 and a half when I moved. That's why if you teach in NYC and want to move out to LI, it's better to do it sooner rather than later.



Thanks! That's why I will be trying my hardest this yearChat Icon

IMO Teachers don't make nearly enough for the value they have.



so true!

FH gets emails all the time for schools in NC - in one particular county, with a masters degree and 4 years experience, he would make $35K, and the stepups were Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



That's actually about right for around here. Not that I'm saying that it's an acceptable thing, but it is what it is. I'm on Step 2 with my MA and I'm making mid 30s. But, to compare apples to apples, I can pay our mortgage and still have money left over--which I would guess is the case for homeowners on LI.

yeah, but some LI teachers top out at close to $100K - which can be more than double than the starting salary - alot of other places dont max out that high - thats the point I was trying to make -had nothing to do with cost of living - it doesnt matter were we live, his student loans cost the sameChat Icon

Starting salaries on LI are NOT $65,000 for teachers. you need AT least 5 yers of teaching experience and a Masters degree to get that in most districts.
