And if you do have pay equity in your state (for example, Adult Ed teachers get paid on the same scale as K-12 teachers) how was this accomplished?" I just answered this with a reply today in another question concerning our state of Florida. All teachers must be state certified to teach ANYTHING so therefore the pay scale is the same. Obviously if you are from a community agency or volunteer organziation, you don't have to have this state certification but most look for it.
