Master in Education or MBA degree?
I'm interested in starting my own language school. Although I've been teaching for 10 years, I don't have any formal teaching education, and I'm really interested in learning more about teaching methods in second language acquisition. I do have a degree in business at the undergraduate level, but I would also like to pursue an MBA with a concentration in entrepreneurship and start my school. I'm at a crossroads and don't know which way to go. Help!

You really have to take some teaching classes if you want to learn about teaching methods. You could just research the methods and hire teachers to implement the methods you decide are the best. You would run the business end of the school because no one would take you seriously as a teacher without a teaching degree. It would hamper your ability to enroll students.
2
Get your MBA. I think so many school districts have financial problems because they are truly businesses being run by people that know nothing about business. They may have been great teachers in the classroom, but that does not mean they know how to run a school/district. I would get my MBA and start your school. Hire great staff and then you can take a course here and there so that you truly know the methods and principals your teachers are utilizing in their classrooms.

Get the MBA. You will have a solid business background to run a successful school. Also, as part of your business plan, hire qualified and competent language instructors to help you build-up your customer base and credibility. While growing the business, enroll in a distant learning program to obtain either a teaching certificate or a teaching degree to supplement your already impressive credentials. Good luck on your endeavors.

Is it better to get another bachelor's degree in elementary education, or get a master's
Is it better to get another bachelor's degree in elementary education, or get a master's?
I already have a BFA in Theatre and I want to teach elementary school. Am I more likely to be hired with a bachelor's degree in education, or a master's degree? I live in Illinois and will be getting certified here. I want to teach in the Chicagoland area. I've had classroom experience at the early childhood education level, as well as tutoring experience. Will the experience help me get hired?

Check with the state department of ed. If you live in a state like NY you will need to get a Masters in Education anyway.
2
It depends are where you are located... In my state and many others it would be foolish to get your masters and then try to get a teaching job at the elementary level. Many districts do not have the money to pay someone with their masters.
3
Depends. I would go for the Master's degree. In most school districts that kicks you up on the payscale. Since the school district would not have to pay you for any experience, the initial cost to them would be minimal. While you are getting your Master's, concentrate on math & science. Some school districts & states now require 4-6 grade teachers to be specialists in various areas, those are the ones with the highest demand.

You can go into consulting, with either a non-profit or a for-profit, both of whom do work in education. You can work for educational policy groups. Check on idealist.com for an idea of the types of companies/positions available. You can also work for a non-educational company that offers training to its workforce. Recognize how many of your skills -- training and literacy especially -- are transferrable to other fields.

I would think with a master's in reading and literacy, you could become a reading specialist

In between. It is a doctorate, which makes it closer in nature to the Ph.D; however, as degrees are ranked, the Ph.D. is considered a higher degree than the MD.
2
I'm not sure what you mean by equivalent. Apples and oranges. If you want to treat sick people, an MD is "better." If you want to be an expert in a given field that you want to dedicate your life to exploring, a PhD is "better." If you are looking to make your overbearing parents who need to project their own hopes and dreams on to you happy , then thats something none of us can tell you.
3
It's closer to a Master's.

A MD is nearly the equivalent but its just in a different field. a phD is a Doctor of philosophy...and you need this degree to teach most areas in universities or to be considered a researcher of the area...that applies to many fields such as business, social sciences (economics,sociology,pyschology). MD is just a Doctor of Medicine....so its comparable to PhD in the fact that you get the title of a doctor, but otherwise not much difference between that and a Masters.
