Should I pursue a master's in education right after completing my undergraduate cert in Special Ed, or wait?
I would like to pay off my student loans first, but I would also like the increase in salary that comes with a master's. Any thoughts?

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

Where can I obtain a reputable Master's Degree in Education Online
Where can I obtain a reputable Master's Degree in Education Online?
I have my B.S.C. in English and Film and I also have my Professional Teaching Certificate for English 6-12. I would like to get my Master's Degree in Education, however, I'm so busy I would really prefer to have the flexibility of an online program. I keep finding schools that are not accredited or their accreditation is flimsy. Does anyone know of a good online school for a Master's in Education? Thanks!

Hi Apryl, Check out www.onlinedegreereviews.org/ and compare the schools you're considering - it's a great site and a great tool. Have you looked at American Public University? APU is regionally and nationally accredited and offers a Masters in Education; it's a great program. Here's a link to the School of Education: http://www.apu.apus.edu/academic/programs/school/apuedu/education Here's a link to APU on Facebook (the students are very active and supportive, and will likely be happy to talk to you about their experiences): http://www.facebook.com/AmericanPublicU Good luck in your decision and in your future schooling! Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with, Nicole nendres@apus.edu

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).

Better is really a relative thing as it depends on personal perspective. Both have pros and cons. Education: Pro - 10 month contracts (get the summer off). Opportunity to work long term with clients. Con - large class sizes, standardized curriculum, bureaucracy Social work Pro- lots of varied places and populations you could work with. Opportunity to work in private practice Con - often have limited contact (depending on where you work); bureaucracy DA
