I have mine, and I wish I hadn't invested the time and money. It hasn't been worth it for me. I enjoyed it, and the information was good, but it didn't make much of a difference in salary, and I could've done the professional development a lot cheaper. Few people value it.

I would recommend yes. Teachers are required to keep up with professional development and this is a good way to do it as you should make more money when you earn it. There are master's programs online too so that can help.

Yes! I have never once regretted it. It gave me so much more insight into my job

Yes!! As teachers, it is our job to continue to learn throughout our profession. A masters will help you with that!

Can I ask if you teach in private school and is teaching your long-run goal?

The reason I ask is that I didn't plan on teaching and wanted a backup plan in case it didnt work out. I did my MS in economics and health policy and now I'm wrapping up my last year teaching to go onto my PhD in economics.

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
