The School District of Philadelphia has started its annual hiring push early this year to fill education and support positions as early as January.
Takia McClendon, a 4th grade teacher at North Philadelphia's Bethune Elementary School, is a model of what the district is looking for in new recruits. A former apparel buyer for running stores, she wanted something "more fulfilling" and began teaching math, science and health at the pre-k through 8th grade school.
Starting salary is $50k a year and rising to a peak of $99k, according to the district. Nearby Montgomery County starts its teachers in the range of $45.5k to just over $60k.
