Two University of North Carolina graduate students were curious: Were female school superintendents earning less than their male counterparts?

Considering longstanding gender pay gaps across the economy, they expected to find a disparity. And using data from Pennsylvania, they did. But they also turned up something else when they plugged in data about classroom teachers. To their surprise, they found a small but notable gender pay gap for classroom teachers, who are usually paid based on set salary schedules that are designed in part to root out exactly those sorts of disparities. Virtually no matter how the data is analyzed, female educators earn less than their male counterparts in Pennsylvania, and, according to a separate analysis released this year, Illinois. Together, the two new studies illustrate how even the education field — a female-dominated one where many salaries aren’t open to negotiation — isn’t immune to the gender pay gap, at a time when strikes and walkouts mean extra attention is being paid to teachers’ wages.

The researchers say they’re not quite sure why it exists.

“That’s really the main question that is still unanswered,” said James Sadler, one of the researchers. “It’s something that we’re still still trying to figure out.” While women made up 73 percent of classroom teachers in Pennsylvania, the study showed they accounted for just 44 percent of school principals and 35 percent of superintendents. That probably explains a part of the pay gap for all educators, a group that includes both classroom teachers and higher-paid administrators.

Why do girls do better than boys in education?

mytutor.co.uk - Outline 3 reasons why girls tend to achieve more highly than boys in ...

Girls may achieve better due to having more positive role models in schools, 86% of teachers in primary schools are female, so from a young age, girls see that they can achieve highly, subsequently giving them goals and ambition, which may make them want to achieve well at school. Girls also naturally favour coursework, as they pay more attention to detail, take care of how their work is presented and are better at meeting deadlines, Goard found that the gender gap in achievement increased significantly once GCSEs (which involved coursework) were introduced. Girls also tend to achieve more highly than boys as they are often favoured by the teachers, as they are more cooperative and typically work silently with little fuss, these positive labels given to girls may form self-fulfilling prophecies, similarly when teachers label boys as a nuisance, it can form a negative self-fulfilling prophecy for them.
