In our area of northern Virginia, beginning teachers start at around $42,000/year. Jobs for the “nice” suburban schools are competitive as teachers don’t tend to leave those jobs!! However with the economy even jobs at the “lesser” schools are being filled quickly! We have plenty of teachers from Michigan and other states (they couldn’t find jobs in their states). Next year the budgets will be tighter thus I am not sure if they will be hiring as many teachers as before.
