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.

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.

Teaching English as a second language in asian countries, if you're interested in travel. But you have to do a full year or two, depending on your contract.

What's a fun university where I can get a Master's in Education
What's a fun university where I can get a Master's in Education?
I have a BA in psychology but I am long-term subbing as a teacher. I need to get my master's iin education somewhere (probably in early childhood) and I'd like to go where the atmosphere is a good place to learn and the area is nice, too. I'm not looking into getting a degree in educational psychology, but education rather. I want to teach in the classroom, so it would be in curriculum and instruction.

I'm not sure there is a website that does exactly that, but there is a national source - http://www.petersons.com You can search by major and by metro area. When I picked "education" as a major, it asked if I was really interested in Adult Education or Art Education or on and on (more than 20 choices). I did a quick search and came up with 43 or so schools in the NYC metro area.

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.
