A.) This sort of goes hand-in-hand with the Intelligence Community PhD article that was also on the front page today. &quot;Oh you have a Master&#x27;s so clearly your time is worth another $2-10k (the MS supplement range for 2007-08)&quot; It&#x27;s just another box to check and as long as getting one earns you $x <i>a year</i> more there&#x27;s little to no reason not to spend 2-3x <i>once</i> even if it does nothing to help your students.<p>C.) I&#x27;m sure it varies by institution and geographic area, but at my High School about half the teachers with a Master&#x27;s had one in &quot;Instructional Technology.&quot; They still struggled with basic computer and projector operation, so I&#x27;m not quite sure what that degree got them in the end.
