What is a good career path for a 7th grade special education teacher with a master's degree?
I have no desire to further my career at the high school level. I would really like to get into some type of professional job (financial aid office, recruiting etc.) at a community college, but I'm not sure how to go about doing so. Also, I'm afraid to take a pay cut. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and an Alternative Master's in Special Education. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to look into Non Profits. Here's why I say it. 1. You are good with people. 2. You have the masters in Special Ed which should open doors there. Beware - you may see a pay cut as these are generally Federally sponsored jobs. Check out http://Hired911.com and search for Non Profit jobs - or use the keywords: "Special Education" Masters degree... but they may be more "teaching oriented." One last thought is doing Education in a Professional field, corporate training. You may need to be skilled in Education Building tools to enter that field.

What kind of work can I do with degree in Psychology/Education
What kind of work can I do with degree in Psychology/Education?
I have a BS in Psychology, with minor in Education, Masters in Childhood Education, and MAsters in School Leadership. I have been a teacher for the past 10 years and never felt the need for a change, but I'm thinking maybe in a few years. Are there any other fields besides education that I could use my skills and degrees in. Thanks!

Consider a career in School Psychology or Counseling Psychology. Both will likely require a doctoral degree in psychology from an APA accredited university. Consider talking to an admissions counselor at a local state university for more information.

I heard that teachers are having to get higher degrees to really have a chance at getting hired. I was going to just get a Bachelor degree but I heard the Master would be better. Is that true?

I am in school now finishing up my senior year in early childhood/special education. It is always good to go as far as you can because the higher your degree the higher your salary. I plan on getting my masters in education. Im not sure which field I want to go into but I am going to find a program that will benefit me in the long run. I think employers do consider how much of an education you have when they are hiring though.

If you are already a biology teacher another masters will not help you. If you are not a certified or licensed teacher and this degree will give you teaching certification AND the masters, it may be worth it. Call the NM dept of education and ask. Their answer will be your truth.
2
I graduated from UOP's education master's program (curriculum and instruction). As I interpret your answer, you are wanting to teach in New Mexico and currently have a master's in biology but no degree in education? If you have no education degree, you cannot get a teaching certification to teach K-12 level students. So regardless of what degree you hold, you cannot teach in elementary, middle, or high school without an education degree and pass a certification test. If that's the case, then I would recommend UOP's master program. However, you probably could get a job teaching post-secondary (college) in biology. If you already have a teaching degree and certification and a master's in biology, then having a master's in education makes you no better off than any other teacher with a masters.
3
NO, you do not need to get another master's, there are alternative routes to getting certified in New Mexico, with a post-baccalaureate alternative licensure program or a portfolio. "In either case, one may apply for an Internship License and begin teaching while completing the requirements for Alternative Licensure." New Mexico Public Education Department Pathways to Teaching http://www.teachnm.org/become_a_teacher.html Pathways to Alternative Licensure http://www.teachnm.org/alternative_licensure.html The New Mexico Transition To Teaching program provides support through the porfolio process: http://www.teachnm.org/t2t_about.html If you choose to go through a licensure program, here is the list of approved alternative licensure programs in New Mexico: http://www.teachnm.org/bachelor_teacher_prep.html Are you planning to teach biology? If so, science and math teachers are in high demand. Experience (work and/or teaching) will be your advantage, not a degree from UoP. Good luck.

I think your question is which country would have cheap universities for studying sports science while teaching in English... I'm not sure on that, but I'll give it a shot. You can always try the U.S.A., because many universities will be surprisingly affordable after you apply for financial aid. Many universities encourage foreign students to apply because they love to be regarded as a culturally broad institution. It might not be free, but you never know. I would definitely pick out a few programs in the U.S. and apply there.

That is the case, there's a specific pay scale in every state that's based on the level of education that you have. Be careful because some states or districts won't hire teachers that they have to pay more, they prefer people who are fresh out of college because they can pay less. Unfortunately this is the case. I have several friends who are more than qualified to teach but were denied positions simply because they have masters degrees. As much as it sucks, that's just the case. One friend of mine was forced to Sub. teach in a county where they wouldn't hire her full time b/c of her Masters. She ended up being a sub who was overqualified for the position.

Yes, it is. I have a masters in a field close to mine and I get credit in school districts for it. Some schools may not, but I've never heard of one. Some may require an in state course, but since you've already been teaching with this master's, you shouldn't have any problems.

yes-plain and simple

Yes. At least the school districts I know in my state have salary scales that are in a grid construction. You travel down the grid for each year you have taught. You travel across the grid according to the degrees and college credits/clock hours of work you have. Each district has its own scale, but they are constructed the same way. Some districts may give you extra money at BS + 15 credits; others may wait until BS + 25 credits. But if you have a masters, you bypass the BS sections and move across to the MA or MS. The part I don't know is if the districts will accept your masters since it is not in education. It won't matter at the high school level, but it could make a difference in primary positions.

Not here in Texas! I have two masters and only get $1000 for the whole year BEFORE taxes. :-(

No matter what state you choose to work in, if you are not licensed to teach, you will have to either go back to school to get licensed, or complete what is called an "alternative certification program" through your school district. If you choose to get your Master's without a license and do alternative certification, I recommend one of the southern states, or a large urban area. Those places need teachers the most and are more likely to hire you and let you earn your qualifications as you work. Elementary education majors are needed in many states. Some other high-needs areas are secondary math and science, bilingual/TESL education at any level, reading specialists and special education.

I suggest you do it right away. The units you earn will place you higher on the pay scale, and most districts also give a yearly bonus to teachers with an MA. I worked it out for myself, and the master's paid for itself in a few years. Each year, it increases with your experience level. Also, since you're already in that "student mode" you may as well continue the momentum. Later, you might face unforeseen obstacles that prevent you from returning to get your degree. Sincerely, Wm.

If you dont need to work after you receive your BA, continue for another 2 years. Get it out of the way because once you stop being a student, life takes over and you may never return. Months become years, marraige becomes family, and on and on . Being a student AFTER work, with children isnt fun. However, Ive worked for 2 school districts in texas and MA.'s only receive $1500 a yr more than a teacher with a bachelors degree. 90% accumulated a minimum of $12,0000 more in loans and are still paying for that masters after 10 + years teaching while making $ 1500 more. It worked though for the guy that answered earlier. Also, several teachers leave the field in 5 or so years. Its a gamble. Good luck

Your best bet is to go with a regionally accredited ground school that now has an online program. For instance, you can earn an online M.Ed. from a number of state schools that have moved programs online. Check your state university systems. There are also some regionally accredited private schools with online M.Ed. programs, like American InterContinental University Online (AIU Online). If you live near a ground campus, you may also be able to take a degree via hybrid learning (a mix of online and on-ground courses).

Any feedback or tips would be much appreciated! Thank you!

What's the difference between a teaching credential and a Master's in Education
What's the difference between a teaching credential and a Master's in Education?
I'm planning on applying for a teaching credential program but I'm debating whether or not I should get a M.S. in Education instead. What is the difference between the two?

Teacher colleges teach students to teach. The awarded degree becomes a credential certifying that the bearer knows how to teach. An MA in Education is just that. Teachers pursue one after earning a BA in teaching. Administrators will often get jobs using the MA to meet knowledge requirements. Read the school catalog and talk with an admissions officer about your plans.
2
You need to have a teaching credential in order to teach legally in most schools; a master's will not, on its own, do the job. Although some M.Ed or M.S. programs will include getting the credential as part of the program, not all do. When you speak to a counselor at the college which you want to attend, be sure to find out whether you will get a credential as part of the program. If not, and if what you really want to do is teach, you'll need to find a different program.
3
a credential allows you to teach, a masters does not. a credential is the name we call the state aproved requirements to teach. A masters is usually a research based education degree - which on its own does not have the methods and curriculum courses designed to meet state requirements. (now some colleges offer blended programs which do..but be very careful...you wouldnt want to go through it all to find out you are not qualified...) Usually the masters are in place to allow teachers (already with their credential) to earn further units to increase their standing on the pay matrix.

You can have a Master in Ed. and not be able to teach in a public school. A credential program certifies you to teach in the USA State.

You have to fulfill the specific school's pre requisites which may include education classes. Check with your school of interest's requirements. It depends what area of education as well. Ball State is a pretty popular/generic university for education to give you an idea of education degrees. Side Note: I'm assuming you have experience working in higher education or student development or have worked in administration at a school which has spurred your interest in seeking a doctorate in education. If not, that would be another obstacle and cause contemplation as to why you want to all of the sudden get into education. If you have no experience working in education, you may need to start at the master's level.

Depending on your location there may be some limitations as far as what Master's programs are available. But all things being equal to me it's a matter of "Why do you like administration over the classroom?" If you know the answer to that, then you should be able to figure out which way to go. Personally, if I was in your situation, I would get an MBA because that will help you should you leave the education field.

Every state is a little bit different, but basically the answer is yes. I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and I am enrolled in an alternative certification program. Through this process, I still have to take classes, but was able to become certified and begin teaching before I finished the classes. Many people pursue a master's degree in something unrelated to their bachelor's degree, so it's not at all uncommon. You can still get a teaching job if your bachelor's is not related to education and the master's degree will make you more desirable than someone with a bachelor's. The only problem is you may struggle more in the classes since you may not have been taught the basics, but you should still do fine. Good luck!

If you don't mind me suggesting it, there are some "alternate" routes to teaching that are as short as 5 weeks, and get you into a classroom next year. You usually then have to continue on for you Master's degree in Education over your first few years of teaching. And you'll have to be in a poorer school district that is participating. Teach for America is one such program, but it's volunteer (which at least is better than not getting paid and paying for grad school)... There was another one mentioned in the Time magazine article I read last week. About 50% of teachers leave the profession (statistically speaking) within 3 years, so you may be better off taking one of these routes to see if you can and want to teach. (interestingly the statistic is the same, 50% for all regular and alternative certification paths, except TFA, which is lower because of the "volunteer" nature of the candidates) In the Time article they followed 3 new teachers in Memphis. 2 were successful, one whose first career (and degrees) was in Social Work (big surprise, lol), and one who had been a banker. The 3rd was overwhelmed and considering leaving the profession. She had been a military officer before trying her hand at teaching. edit: My Bachelor's degree was a B.S.Ed, and I was still overwhelmed that first year. This is why I'm a big proponent of these alternative certifications. If I'd of decided teaching wasn't for me (I almost did after that first year, but had great success my second year... I guess it just took a year to get a hang of everything for me) I'd of had an Education degree trying to find a job as a banker, or sales manager or something. Since the statistics say 50% will drop out, whether their Bachelor's is in Education, or in another subject like Finance, Engineering, or Pharmacy. . . I tell young kids just to get a degree in something they're passionate about, and do an alternative certification. You may as well have a "fall back" option, with the low success rates of first year teachers.

C'mon people, let's be constructive.......poor lolit is just trying to get some help! I would suggest going from a general topic and then getting more and more specific. So, maybe your general topic is: Academic Achievement Then you read a few articles on the topic and see some that have looked at the relationship between academic achievement and parental involvement--but with conflicting results! Then, you read a few articles on academic achievment and parental involvement, get an idea about what kind of research is being conducted, and maybe you see that nobody has compared the effects of parental involvement on student acheivement across races......so now we are getting more specific....race and the relationship between academic achievement parental involvement. Then, you remember that minority groups often have lower achievment than majority groups......hmmmm, now we are getting very specific......what about a study on the relationship between parental involvement and student achievement among African American or Hispanic students? Anyway, that is just an example, but the idea is to start with a general topic---a broad area you are interested in....then get more and more specific until you arrive at your specific study! Another good hint is to look at the end of published studies....they often have a paragraph or two on future research directions/unanswered questions (just as you will eventually have in your thesis)---these can be really good for generating ideas. Good luck!

In order to teach at a decent college or university, you will need a PhD in your field, which would be sociology. Don't bother with a degree in education, they are known for being pretty worthless because education graduate programs are notoriously easy to get into with very low requirements for admission.

You can usually go straight for your MA. You may need to take a pre-req or two, but you do not need a BA in education to do an MA (this is true for most fields). You do need to make sure that you pick up a teaching credential for your state - each state is different - Now many traditional brick and mortar schools will have online or distance options for their education program (they design programs for current teachers). Be careful of the major online schools (e.g. phoenix) which may not prepare you for state license. Since you have a BSW you might also consider doing an MSW with a focus on school social work. DA

I had a BA in a biology field prior to earning my masters in curriculum. So no, another BA is not necessary. about online schools: You will have to check with your state. Each state must approve of any program. One of the problems is that all states require a student teaching portion. Online schools often do not have a presence in the state to place you and give individual feedback that is needed in student teaching.

Your Bachelors and Masters do not have to match. To teach, you don't need a Master's, but rather teaching certification. Some programs combine the certification and Master's. If you do not have a Bachelor's in an education field, you may need to go back and get one, unless you want to teach Criminal Justice and Social Work. There are many online schools. My coworker got her credential through University of Phoenix. We live in CA.

Your Bachelors and Masters do not have to match. To teach, you don't need a Master's, but rather teaching certification. Some programs combine the certification and Master's. If you do not have a Bachelor's in an education field, you may need to go back and get one, unless you want to teach Criminal Justice and Social Work. There are many online schools. My coworker got her credential through University of Phoenix. We live in CA.

Is a Masters in Education degree easy to be obtained
Is a Masters in Education degree easy to be obtained?
I am currently live in NYC and I am currently finishing up my Masters in Education and Special Education degree. While doing the degree I really did not find it to be hard so I was wondering if it was the school I attend. I also found other people who completed their Masters in Education at other schools found it not to be challenging. I was wondering if a Master in Education on a whole is a easy degree to obtained? Thanks

You did not specify if it is the MEd or the MSEd. No matter. Let me put it this way. Get credential, pass state licensing board exams, get job. get job to pay for SSA or PhD (the EdD is a waste of time) then get promoted. Simple. As long as your degree is accredited, dont worry about how 'easy' it was for you. I found my PhD in education to be easy (classes anyway) but some of my peers found it hard. maybe you just 'get it' quicker.

You are wise to realize that your choice of major will affect what you can do at the Master's level. If possible, contact a few universities which offer the Master's in counseling and development and find out what the entrance requirements are. Do they require a bachelor's in specific fields, or will they accept a wide range? Obviously, if most schools tell you that you will need a Bachelor's in sociology, for example, in order to get accepted into the Master's program you are interested in, then the choice has been made for you, and you start taking sociology classes. If, on the other hand, a wide variety of majors is accepted, then it would be wise to choose something you are curious about and give it a try. It is relatively simple to change your major in undergraduate school, as long as you don't wait too long or do it too often, so this is your opportunity to take a chance on something you are interested in.

Questions about education and social work master's
Questions about education and social work master's?
I was a biology major, and switched to sociology, and am minoring in psychology. I hope to grab one more minor before I finish, religion. So I will have my Bachelor's in Sociology, minor in psychology and religion. I will be graduating with a 3.1-3.2. It would have been higher without biology dragging it down. I would have loved to have been a social work and education major, but it didn't work out that way. wasn't meant. I want to do social work and education. I was wondering is there a way I could double major, in social work and education. What jobs are open to me with just a sociology bachelor's? With a social work master's? Eventually if I took a break and wanted to be a middle or high school teacher, how many years of schooling would I need. What kind of degree? Just an education master's. I'm thinking of teaching either english or history, one day.

I'm assuming you are asking about a joint MSW/Med and not doing a second "major"? There is one program that might fit your eclectic interests: http://artsci.wustl.edu/~jines/jointdegree.htm In general if you are going to want to teach you will need a teaching certificate in teaching (in the area and age level) you want to teach in. Doing a joint degree will take 2-3 years. Getting a teaching certificate can usually be done in one year. DA

Of course they vary greatly among schools, but this program is easier for admission than medical school, for example. If you apply to lots of programs, especially those at lesser-known universities, you will probably be admitted to at least one if you have a good academic record and letters of recommendation. Good luck.

If I have a bachelor's degree in liberal arts can I go on to study education for a master's degree
If I have a bachelor's degree in liberal arts can I go on to study education for a master's degree?
I don't know much about how the system works. Since liberal arts doesn't have alot to do with education, is it possible to get admitted into a masters program for education? I want to be a teacher.

It depends. If you want to teach something in the humanities (English, history, etc.), you should have no problem. You don't necessarily have to major in education to be able to get a master's degree in it later, but schools will want to see that you have some sort of background knowledge of the subject matter you want to teach before they admit you.
2
Liberal Arts is a very common major for those interested in education.
3
You should be able to get admitted into a masters program without much trouble. However, some schools might require you to take some extra courses (perhaps undergrad education courses) to fill in some of the gaps that might exist in going from liberal arts to a more specific field. Some schools will probably require extra classes where others won't; it just depends on the admission requirements. However, I don't think you should have any problems getting admitted to a graduate program.
4
"technically" i think you can......it doesn't matter what your major is to get your masters........but i'd think its unlikely without atleast getting some further schooling in a similar subject area.

People enter higher ed from many different fields. Some of the more traditional ones are psych, soc, and communications but I've seen ones as unique as art and interior design. I'm criminal justice and it's not a combination I've seen from people at the orientations I've been to (I had a psych minor so that's a little more common). Feel free to contact registrars at your school and others and see what advice they give you.

I think it depends from state to state, and each educational institution. In California, I've found, you generally have to get credentialed in the subject before moving on to your Master's.
2
in nj you can..in fact it maymake you more hirable at the middle/high school level as you will be highly qualified in history
3
YES! You can major in anything you like, then get a masters in Special ed and get certified with that masters and teach IN ANY STATE, including california. Check the state where you live, here in Texas once you are certified in anything, like history, all you need to be certified in any other subject ( like special ed) is take the test for that subject and you are certified. You dont have to get an entire degree in something else just to teach it. Usually the masters will be needed when you want to move up in that area. Check with your states department of education. They will be able to answer ALL of your questions.

Yes, you could become a history teacher and then get a Master's in Spec. Ed. As for the certification, you need to see what is required depending on the state you want to teach in.
