Better position/salary in schools?

What are some other good paying positions within a school district? I am currently a spec. ed. teacher, and simply, want to make more money in a couple years. I have an M.Ed, and am board certified as a behavior analyst (BCBA).

I know behavioral positions pay about the same as teachers, but what about ed. psych, or school psych… do they pay well?

In general, what are the higher paying jobs within a school district?

I think it depends where you live. I am a BCBA too and work as a behaviorist in my district and I get paid a lot better than a teacher.

At least where I live I am on more of a similar scale as the school psychologists which is also good. Another option is always to get an admin credential and to be a special ed. program specialist or coordinator (they make more than the psychologists or myself and sometimes you don’t need a admin credential to be a program specialist) and with the same admin credential you can also be an assistant principal or do some other function at the district office.

School psychs generally get paid more than teachers, but it just depends on where you live and how many days the contract is for. School psychs work more days than teachers and may not get the same amount of days off for holidays, spring breaks,etc. So that alone increases their salary. Also, if your district gives you a raise for completing college courses, that would also raise the salary because school psych programs are longer than some of the education programs. I would ask someone in your payroll department to give you a salary estimate if you were to switch positions. I would also make sure that there were school psych positions available in your area before going back to school. I’m not sure what an ed. psych is in your district, but if it is the person that gives the academic achievement testing, then they usually get paid the same as a teacher with a master’s degree, but their contract may be extented a little longer than a teacher’s, but it is generally shorter than a school psychs. The NASP website or your state’s school psychologist association website may give you more specific answers for your state and school district.

Principals usually have a nice salary ( I was actually surprised when I learned how much they make in my district!) You could also look into speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. All of these positions pay very well and generally work the same amount of days as teachers and students. You might also look into positions at your district’s board of education. You wouldn’t be working with the students as much, but I’m sure the salary is better!

Good Luck with your career choices!!
