Hello Teachers,

I am a new teacher and would like to know the ways that you
earn your recertification-do any of you do print-based
classes, or have you tried online classes? I would like
your input.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

In most districts the door to the land of milk and money is
opened with a Master's Degree.

IF you go through a suitcase college you can complete a
MS program in < 2 years.... be ready for desertification
AND start earning top salaries. Why a suitcase college?

I agree with Neal. I got my Master's Degree through St. Mary's University of Minnesota. The instructors are teachers or principals..people who work other jobs, besides instructing, so all of the assignments are relavent to what you are doing right NOW in the classroom. AND about 10-12 colleagues and I did the courses together with some of the teachers from our surrounding schools and the instructors actually came to us! I am in the Southern part of Wisconsin, so if you are somewhere close to the Twin Cities or close to some of the instructors who work for the college (not necessarily in the state of Minnesota), you may be able to get instructors to come to you. A couple of our instuctors were from my area and just worked for the college. A Master's Degree can definitely help with movement in the pay scale and will also affect retirement...wen you get that far, that is. Hope that helps.
