A Masters in Teaching makes certified teachers eligible for significantly higher pay schedules in most school districts; how much more money varies widely and depends on the district. This degree also makes teachers more competitive for job openings, especially at private schools. However, many teachers do not pursue a Masters in teaching until after two or three years of teaching, because many school districts initially give pay raises based on years of experience, not on the degree held. Most teacher masters programs take between one to two years to complete, depending on if the student pursues the degree part-time or full-time. Many teacher certification programs allow students to apply the courses in their teaching credential program directly to a Masters, which enables students to get a Master’s in one year or less. Some teaching certificate programs combine the certificate and the Masters program into one program. A Masters in teaching also allows teachers to pursue PhD’s.
