Salary Reclassification
Level Up Your Life
The teacher turnover crisis in Hawai`i is rooted in the State's low starting salary range, but accredited professional development can increase your salary by as much as $25K per year.
Your Upward coursework will help you level-up your teaching, and the graduate credits you earn will help you level-up your life.
