What is the starting salary for Louisiana Teaching Fellows?
The starting salary for Fellows is the same as that for all other beginning teachers in the participating districts. Starting teachers in 2008-2009, with no previous classroom experience, typically earn $40,000 in their first year, depending on their education level and related coursework. Fellows become salaried employees of the participating district when all teachers report back to work at the start of the school year; teachers normally receive their first pay check during the first month of teaching.
