  1. Teacher's college usually refers to the BEd degree that you earn to become a teacher. In Ontario we've got a one-year consecutive education program (one that I am currently in) which is a one year program focused exlusively on education and is given after one already has earned a 3 or 4 year bachelors degree. The other is a concurrent education program where students pursue their own majors while taking education courses over the period of 3 or 4 years (usually starting 2nd or 3rd year) and in the end they graduate with the same two degrees that I will have after I finish my consecutive ed program, a BA (or BSc, or BFA etc.) and a BEd.

    A Master's degree is a graduate degree in education. Ontario requires a Master's degree to pursue a more administrative role such as principal or VP. Most young teachers that I know are pursueing their MEd's part time in the eveninigs and summers while they are teaching full time. That's probably something that I am going to look into.

    You can't get an MEd to my knowledge without having a BEd, and there is no reason to get an MEd if you don't want to have some sort of career in education, be it as a teacher, administrator, working in a school, working for the school board, working for the ministry of education etc.

  2. If you are a teacher I would strongly reccommend working as a teacher first for a few years and then go onto grad school.

  3. No- you won't be missing out on anything because you'll get the ed. foundations classes. Most ed majors have a general liberal arts study program supplemented by education courses. The only difference is that you will get your ed courses intensively, rather than spread out over 4 years. The bonus is, you'll get paid more your first year of teaching because you will already have a masters.

  4. You could teach junior college (community college) or high school/middle school. My M.Ed. degree helped me when I was doing computer tech support in that I knew how to explain technical things to non-technical people. Now, I'm a pilot and my education background is helping me again (when I teach).

    The great thing about an M.Ed. degree is that it's flexible and can fit to whatever you want to do in life.

    Good luck.

  5. Yes it is different and more expensive. Remember your tax right off. Speak with your counselor also…

  6. The massage is a great idea. After my hardest exam period in law school tht was the firs tthing I did.
    If she has a laptop and plans on using it during class, then a nice (mid-range) lap top bag would be very nice.
    A cheap printer is extremely useful if she does not already have one.
    If you are handy, you could consider building her a book case (buying a nice one would likely exceed $100). I have certainly filled my shelves up over the past 2 years.
    You and your son could suprise her by redoing a room or area of the house/apartment to make it conducive for studying.

  7. I think it's fine….school districts SHOULD be more concerned with hiring knowledgeable, qualified teachers and less concerned about how much they pay. I'm not saying that's how all districts think….However, I know of a few districts in my area that require a master's degree and if you don't have one, they give you 2-3 years to get it.

    PLUS when you start teaching, it does take up a lot of your time and energy, you may not want to devote your few precious hours each day to studying for the GRE, applying to grad schools, then hitting the books, writing research papers, internships, and going to class….

  8. Not very. There's a lot you can do online and in the evenings. Some schools are very adult friendly, and let you do courses on weekends. It will take awhile, but you probably have to do growth courses anyway, so go for it.

  9. You might consider the International Teaching Fellows program. You would have to use the net to get information on the teaching fellows program and follow through with phone calls, as well as contacting the various school districts that interest you.
