Demand at least 40K -Tons of jobs

by Tod

Mar 27, 2016

Take a peak at the Arizona Teachers job board. So many openings that you can look for a job with all the benefits you want. Take a risk and switch jobs now if your school is skimpy on a raise or benefits. You work too hard to settle for less.

Don' t move to Az to Teach Low $

by Sandy

Mar 1, 2016

If you are thinking about your dream job and a move here, consider this: No unions Very Low pay - Some as low as 28K and you pay Insurance or half Lots of overtime with no pay. Principals may work you on spring break by making you attend meetings. No rights if you are accused of anything.

Give AZ a chance Quokka, You will find disgruntled teachers everywhere. Starting salaries in the Phoenix are are $39K for BA with no experience teaching. If you are licensed from out of state, they make it easy now to get your license since new laws passed. Arizona needs good teachers. If you are considering it, please come! Also, we live in the awesomest state in...See More

dm Pros and cons....I love living in AZ - especially in the winter:) I hear complaints from many teachers who taught in another state and then came to AZ. I only knew AZ so I didn't know what it was like anywhere else. Pay among public schools is posted on districts' websites. Pretty much the same. Charters may pay less, or more - depends on the scho...See More

Hanging up my certificate

by Kathy

Feb 22, 2016

After teaching for two years, I have discovered that my local Sprouts can pay me almost as much as I make now and there is room for advancement. Society hates teachers in this generation. We are the scum of the earth and make pennies. My certificate will be tossed in May. No more evaluations and hours making lesson plans on my dime.

james16 I feel sad when I read posts like this. It is unfortunate that Western society values education so poorly. So many people are offered a free education and they waste the opportunity. To think there are many places in this world where people cannot get an education and here in North America who can do not properly take advantage of it.

I believe striking is illegal in AZ. There's something about it in the state constitution.
