.4 teaching salary?
Do any of the teachers know how a .4 teaching salary would work? Since it is essentially half-time, is it half of what a full-time teacher's salary would be (obviously based on steps, etc.).

Re: .4 teaching salary?
I taught 0.43 my first year of teaching which meant I taught 0.43 the amount of time of a full time teacher and I got paid exactly 0.43 of what my salary (at my level of experience, etc) would have been of a full time salary.
The unfortunate thing was that in my district you don't get any benefits unless you are over 0.5
Hope that helps!
Thanks! That's what I assumed but I wasn't sure. I applied for a .4 position (along with many others...) because I was pretty much just applying for any job that popped up in my search. I got a message from that school this morning to call to set up an interview. I haven't called back yet because I don't know if I should take everyone's time, and mine, to interview for a job that may not make financial sense to take. The job I have currently, while not a full-time teaching job, seems like it would make me more money than a .4 does. The only thing is that I am not happy with the administration at my current school...I thought it would be a great place to start my career and wait it out for a full-time position, but it hasn't exactly happened that way. However at the same time I'm not sure it makes sense to give up a job that does in fact make me more money.
This is obviously all just hypothetical...I don't even know what a full-time salary in this district would be, I'm just guessing and applying that to a half-time position. And clearly I haven't even interviewed, so it's just me thinking ahead.
As already said, it is .4 times the salary of a full time teacher. What sucks about being a .4 (aside from the lower salary) is that since you are less than half time you usually don't get any benefits.
Good luck!
I just read your post about why you're looking elsewhere and just wanted to give you a quick shout out
I just switched schools for the EXACT same reason. Best of luck to you!!
