Alabama School Connection recently looked at the breakdown of teacher salaries in the state. Like what's seen in other jobs, pay for teachers depends on experience and education. For example, a teacher with a bachelor's degree and less than three years of experience will start out at $36,867.Assuming the teacher doesn't obtain a higher degree, their salary will max out at $46,917.ov. Bentley's 2016 budget proposal doesn't include a pay raise for Alabama's teachers. If the budget passes as is, it would be the second year educators have gone without a raise, with the last being a 2 percent boost in 2014.
