Comments? thoughts ? and.. why might this be ? A study conducted by the National Council on Teacher Quality that examined the relationship between advanced degrees and other “extra coursework” on teacher effectiveness. “Out of 102 statistical tests examined,” the report notes, “approximately 90 percent showed that advanced degrees had either no impact at all or, in some cases, a negative impact on student achievement.” And teachers without advanced degrees who simply take extra coursework in their areas of specialty prove no more effective in the classroom than those who don’t. For the union crowd and their acolytes who are always screaming that we need more money for education, eliminating the masters bump would be a perfect place to start.
