I'm unsure if I should become a reading specialist or a media specialist. Can anyone give me some insight about these positions please? I am so confused! Help!
Does anyone know if it is lucrative to have a reading endorsement added to one's certificate? Does it look good to principals and helps a candidate stand out?
Does anyone know which system pays more--Gwinnett or Rockdale? I'm unsure if the local supplement in Rockdale is already included on their salary scale. Just curious. Thank you!
Have some fun tomorrow. Just tell a class how the returnable Coke bottle system worked. The class will be all like "ewww- yuck! Somebody else drank out of that bottle!" To extend the fun then ask the class how many other mouths that fork at Red Lobster has been in.
SBRI got my EdS, 6 years ago. It is only worth it in terms of the money. It will not help you in terms of advancement, and it won't help you in many other states as many other states look at you having 30+ credits over your master's degree to get the top salary. Those 30+ don't even have to be in one particular area.
Brenda" ...for those out there with an Ed.S. degree, was it worth it?

In my opinion, it is absolutely worth it. There are some other reasons to get the EdS besides the salary increase, which is a pretty good step, by the way. Those other reasons have more to do with other issues than salary. Are you interested in doing in-depth work in your content area? If so, the degree is a logical step. Are you NOT interested in doctoral work? If so, the EdS is a good choice. I'm not sure where you are in your career or whether you perceive yourself as a "lifer," but if so, I can tell you that having the EdS may also offer you some different alternatives at the end of your career. Your teacher retirement is based on your highest two years' salaries, so the impact can be lifelong. Also, if you might like to teach in a post-secondary institution after retirement, an EdS opens that option up to you in some places. An EdS can be completed in a pretty short time -- depends on your situation and your motivation. I do not think that an EdS prohibits job change options (as a doctorate degree often can). Most good school districts will still hire a Masters degree or a Specialist degree because of financial considerations. If you're in a school district you never intend to use, then go for the doctorate. Good luck as you make this decision. Do what makes you the best teacher!

After thinking about the curriculum that most educators (including myself) fall into during the month of February, I compiled a list of 8 things to avoid during the study of Black History. [Click below to read her list.]
Can anyone give me any insight to what the constructed respo nse for math and science special education is like. The one s from the GACE/ETS study guide are EXTREMELY vague.
