Teacher salaries in Kansas vary from district to district. Although teachers in the Sunflower State have historically been paid below national averages, the cost of living in Kansas is also low. Typically, teachers with a master's degree will earn more than teachers without one. In Wichita, for example, a beginning teacher makes around $2,400 extra for having a master's. A more experienced teacher in the district can make an extra $4,500 a year because of the degree, according to Wichita Public Schools.

The only area in which Kansas is currently experiencing critical teacher shortages is special education.
