Most teaching positions require a minimum of a college Bachelor's degree (4 years). There are typically increased pay grades for having a Masters or Doctorate (time is variable).
Most states require a bachelor's and a teacher's certificate. A master's degree is recognized by most school districts in the form of better jobs and higher pay. They are also more likely to hire someone with a masters then someone with a bachelors.
I really do not know of any state that would actually pay for the masters degree. You can try to search for some corporate scholarships. If you do not work for an organization that helps with education, then it may have to be student loans.
the average pay is around 48,690 bucks!
It would be nice, but they do not have to pay anything past high school and 18 years of age.
Depends on the qualifications you have, my uncle has his masters degree and he gets paid in the thousands for one of his paintings.
The new pay scale for a primary teacher is about $55,000. This is the rate that has been set for the new entrants with increment as they gain experience.
$35,677 would be about the starting salary for someone with a Bachelor's degree. $40K starting for someone with a Masters. It goes up from there each year, but depends on the school district you are in - some pay MUCH better than others. In a very well paying district in the Northeast US, a teacher with about 10 years of experience and a masters degree is making about $70k a year.
Typically, they a teacher's assistants.
I say this with tongue in cheek because so many policies have changed within the field of education. That being said, a bachelors degree in education with teacher certification gives you the necessary credentials in securing a job in education. However, in most school districts they are now requiring a Bachelors plus. In other words, they are pushing educators to pursue their Masters degree. Thus, if you are a teacher, you will have to get that Masters anyway (sooner or later). Why not start on it now. The Masters degree will also be necessary if promotion to higher levels within education is a concern. I am in higher education, and to get a job today within middle management, or teaching requires a Masters degree. The higher the degree the more marketable you will become. Most all institutions are now pushing individuals towards the Masters degree. It would be to your advantage if you plan on a career in education. Viper1
