The average Iowa teacher makes just under $50,000 a year. However, salaries vary quite a bit from district to district, with teachers averaging $60,000 or more in some districts and as little as $30,000 in others, according to the Iowa Association of School Boards. Generally, teachers who hold a master's degree make more than those who don't. In Des Moines, for example, a master's degree nets a beginning teacher more than $3,000 extra dollars per year, as reported by Des Moines Public Schools.
The cost of living in Iowa is low. While the state doesn't have a lot of ethnic diversity, teachers have a lot of choices when it comes to what type of school system to teach in, from consolidated rural districts to urban Des Moines.
Iowa is currently experiencing a shortage of teachers in early childhood education, English as a second language, family and consumer sciences, foreign language, guidance, health, industrial technology, math, music, science, gifted and talented education, and special education.
