Steps & Lanes Salary Scale
Most international schools salary scales are based on years of experience (steps) and education (bachelor & master's degree). Each step increment is based on experience. Some schools have capped newly hired teachers and recognize previous teaching experience.
The “steps and lanes” salary scale is a common way of determining teacher pay. The below is an example of a school salary scale (annual base pay) with 10 steps on the left side and 2 lanes across the top. Each step represents a year of service (seniority) at the school. The lanes represent increasing levels of education in the form of degrees (bachelor’s or master’s). A teacher’s salary is determined by locating the appropriate cell, years of experience and level of education. |
