Teachers Shouldn't Be Paid More for Having a Master's Degree, New Report Says:
A new report suggests, "Master’s degrees in education bear no relation to student achievement." Thus, they recommend that school districts stop paying teacher's more for having a master's degree (as opposed to just a bachelor's) in order to ride out the current economic crisis.
Many teachers' start to question and complain as they read these words.Teachers (and Education professionals, in general) don't do well with change. So a change like this would be very challenging to implement.
I believe that a master's degree in education is a big achievement that should be honored. Would you support eliminating the pay differential between teachers based on their educational achievement? I can't wait to see the comments on this issue!
Research conclusively finds that possession of a master's or doctorate degree has no impact on teacher effectiveness and does not reflect increase in students achievements.
ReplyDeleteI don't support eliminating the pay differential between teachers, teachers who worked hard to obtain masters or doctorate degree deserve to be rewarded for it. From personal experience, i did have an impact on students' achievement after possessing a masters degree.
