| 1 Constant dollars based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, adjusted to a school-year basis. The CPI does not account for differences in inflation rates from state to state. For more information about adjusting for differences in the cost of living from state to state, see the American Community Survey Comparable Wage Index for Teachers (ACS-CWIFT) at https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Docs/EDGE_ACS_CWIFT2015_FILEDOC.pdf. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: This table includes regular full-time teachers only; it excludes other staff even when they have full-time teaching duties (regular part-time teachers, itinerant teachers, long-term substitutes, administrators, library media specialists, other professional staff, and support staff). Teachers' base salary does not include any supplemental contracts for additional work at a school during the school year (e.g., coaching) or during the summer (e.g., teaching summer sessions). Also does not include any income from nonschool sources. Teachers were asked how many school years they had worked as a teacher. In 2011-12 and earlier years, teachers were also asked how many of their teaching years were full time and how many were part time. After 2011-12, teachers were no longer asked how many years were full time versus part time. Throughout this table, all school years are counted, regardless of whether teachers taught full time or part time. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
