Teachers in Maryland have historically been well-paid compared to teachers in other states, with salaries hovering around the top 10 nationally. Pay varies from district to district, but generally depends on years of experience and education level. In Montgomery County's public schools, for example, a beginning teacher with a bachelor's degree makes $46,400, while a teacher with a master's degree and10 years of experience makes $70,300. Teachers with even more experience and education - nineteen years of teaching and sixty credits beyond a master's degree, earn $103,600, according to the Montgomery County School District.

Maryland currently has a shortage of teachers for a number of content areas, including career and technology education, computer science, English as a second language, Chinese, Spanish, math, science, and special education.
