    Post: Master's Degree before tenure?
    Posted by: Mr. B on 2/06/14

    I am in the end stages of my teaching credential program and
    just realized I am 5 classes short of a MA. Part of me just
    wants to get it done so I can fall higher on the salary
    schedule, but I have also been warned that there is a
    possibility I will not get tenured since the district will
    have to pay me more.

    Does anybody have experience in similar shoes? Is the idea of
    having an MA being a deterrent for tenure an urban legend?
