Summary of Results Two hundred ninety Montessori schools participated in the 2019 Compensation & Benefits Survey. The results represent a broad cross section of AMS member schools throughout the U.S. The respondents were fairly well represented from all states. The majority of respondents (58.6%) are from not-for-profit institutions. Salary Determination According to this year’s survey, the primary responsibility for setting salaries belongs to the head(s) of school(s) and administrative staff (over 51% of the responses). Most schools do not have a written salary survey, but of those that do have a written salary survey, almost 65% make this information available to teachers. The number of schools that have not given a salary increase has dropped over the years:

Year 2009 2011 2013 2015 2017 2019

No increase 32% 19% 16% 12.74% 10.55% 6%

In 65.7% of the schools, a 1 – 3% increase was given for the 2019 – 2020 school year.

Benefits Almost 80 percent (78%) of the schools offered health insurance to their full-time employees. Among those offering health insurance, schools paid an average of 70% of premiums for full-time staff members. Some schools offer cash in lieu of health insurance (results are on page 16). Most schools offered children’s tuition remission for employees (62%), and paid for professional association dues (almost 77%) and professional development fees (92%). Montessori Credential versus No Montessori Credential In general, teachers with Montessori credentials made more money than their non-credentialed counterparts. And, teachers with Full Montessori credentials made more money than teachers with Associate Montessori credentials. Take a look at page 53 for more information Brief Summary of How Some Variables Were Treated

For all questions that had numerical responses, we did not consider values of zero (0), and based our analysis only on non-zero values.

For questions that required percentages, for example, a percentage of life insurance covered, we did not consider values greater than 100% under the assumption that these values represented keying errors. For questions that required minimum wages, we ignored all hourly wages greater than $200, under the assumption that these values were erroneous.

Definitions

Adult Learner: Student enrolled in a Montessori teacher education program.

A blank cell indicates that no responses were received, an asterisk (*) indicates not enough responses received to ensure a large enough pool of information to guarantee a statistically significant number from information that is sufficiently aggregated so as to ensure anonymity.

Mean: The sum of all the responses divided by the number of responses, also called the average.

Median: The response that is exactly in the middle when all the responses are listed in increasing order. The median is less likely to be distorted than the mean by a small number of unusually high or low responses.

N: Number of respondents.

Special/Auxiliary Teachers: Those individuals who teach music, foreign languages, and physical education.

U.S. Regions

Midwest States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin

**Special note regarding the AMS Associate Montessori credential. An AMS Associate Montessori credential is issued at the Infant & Toddler and Early Childhood levels to an adult learner who does not hold a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent. It should be noted that AMS does not offer an Associate credential at the Elementary or Secondary levels. Responses received for teachers working at the Elementary and Secondary levels would seem to indicate that the teacher is working at a level for which they do not have the appropriate Montessori credential.
