Although special ed is always in demand, don't get a master's
until you are in the school you want to be in for your career. If you have to job hunt again (relocation, etc.) you will
probably not be hired (or will be capped on how much
experience on the scale a school will be willing to give you)
once you have your master's. The school I teach at has policy
they only give Master's + 5 when they hire a teacher with a
master's. Doesn't matter how bad they need you, if you have
been teaching 20 years, you only get 5 on the scale. On the DOE website they have a link where schools post jobs.
It is on the lower left hand corner of the first page. They
have a section for special ed. Start there. Good luck. On 2/04/08, EducationStudent wrote:
