Here’s the good news: The average yearly teacher pay increased by 2% in the 2021-22 school year to $66,745 and is projected to grow by another 2.6% for the 2022-23 school year to $68,469.
The bad news: Those increases are not keeping pace with inflation. In fact, when inflation is taken into account the average salary of classroom teachers declined by some 6.4% over the past decade or by $3,644.
