State Teaching Job Initiatives

The Nevada Department of Education runs NV-APPS, an online job placement service for teaching jobs in Nevada. In order to create an account, prospective teachers must provide their contact information, employment history, teaching credentials, education, availability, and specific skills. Individuals in search of Nevada teaching jobs are then able to browse, search, and apply for teaching vacancies posted on NV-APPS.

In 2007, Nevada ranked 19th in the nation for teacher pay, with an average teacher salary of $49,426.
