Should a Master's Degree Be Required of All Teachers?
Knapp, John L.; And Others
Journal of Teacher Education, v41 n2 p27-37 Mar-Apr 1990

Cost analysis of a Virginia proposal to require universal master's degrees concludes that such a requirement is an inefficient school improvement method. The impact of such requirements on teachers, schools of education, teacher shortages, and attrition are discussed. (IAH)
