Master's Degree Vs. Student Achievement

A good friend of mine, Deb Jordan, exposed me to the fact that there is no correlation between having a Master's Degree and increased student achievement. So, of course, I had to research this to see if she was correct in her statement. Much to my chagrin, and contrary to everything that I have been trained to believe, I found many websites and studies that actually support her claim. I found ZERO sites that dispute her claim. My day today has pretty much been one that has pleasantly destroyed many of my predispositions on how the education system works and, most importantly, how our district "supports" its teachers.
