Methodology
Salary figures aggregate every active educator listing on DailyJobFeed posted within the last 6 months where the employer published a numeric salary in their original posting. We restrict to USD-denominated, yearly base salaries (or unset currency/type, which defaults to USD/yearly). Listings outside $10k–$10M are dropped as data-entry errors. For ranges, we use the midpoint. We re-run the aggregation every 30 minutes against the latest scrape.
What's excluded: equity, bonuses, sign-on, and benefits — base salary only. Roles without a published salary band are not included in the sample.
