'Not Worth It': Why NC College Students Are Turning Away From Teaching UNC-Chapel Hill senior Jailen Wallis has always been tempted to become a high school English teacher. She's cutting across campus on her way to her work-study at the library. A literature junkie, she loves the idea of teaching young people to enjoy reading and writing as much as she does. But Wallis will graduate in May with degrees in sociology and English—not education. "Teaching in North Carolina right now is not worth it, unless you can’t imagine doing anything other than teaching," Wallis explained. Jess Clark reports on North Carolina's diminishing number of graduates pursuing teaching. Wallis’ mother is a teacher, and Wallis knows what challenges of the job are, and what the pay is. "It’s not a job that you leave at the end of the day at 4 or 4:30 or 5 or 5:30, or whenever you finish with all your staff meetings," she said. Wallis is not the only student who feels that way about the profession. "There’s absolutely no incentive right now to go into it with your masters," Wallis said.

Connexions - Sharing Knowledge and Building Communities Reference List: Other Print Sources Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here. Important Note: Because the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual heavily emphasizes digital and electronic sources, it does not contain explicit instructions for certain less-common print sources that earlier editions covered. For this reason, some of the examples below have been adapted from the instructions for sources with similar attributes (e.g., the conference proceedings example is derived from the instructions the 7th edition manual gives for citing edited collections).

Nik's Learning Technology Blog IFLA Trend Report Cutting master’s pay spells trouble for graduate programs, teachers - Elon University's News Organization Print Friendly For Jessica Mahon, getting a master’s degree went hand in hand with becoming a teacher. But Mahon is from New York, where a master’s degree is required for public school teachers to become fully certified. Now, in her sixth year at Newland Elementary School in Burlington, her master’s degree is considered extraneous. Mahon is lucky. “I know probably half a dozen or a dozen people who are looking to leave,” she said. Sweeping changes to the North Carolina education system passed by the General Assembly in July 2013 dealt another blow to teacher salaries by eliminating pay raises for teachers with advanced degrees. Before the new legislation took effect in December 2013, teachers with master’s degrees could earn about 10 percent more than teachers with only a bachelor’s degree. North Carolina’s stingy salary for teachers has been discouraging even with her master’s pay raise, Mahon said. “As a teacher here, it feels like they don’t value what we’re doing,” she said.

Mika Pantzar innostui tulevaisuudentutkimuksesta koulupoikana, kun isoveli sai lahjaksi Osmo A. Wiion kirjan Tieteen eturintamasta (1969). ”Luin sen, kuten myös kaikki lähikirjastoni kiinnostavat kirjat. Asuin Espoon Tapiolan puutarhakaupunginosassa, jota rakennettiin lasten ja nuorten ehdoilla. Pantzar ei usko suuriin ja harvoihin kirjastokeskittymiin, vaan tiheään verkostoon. ”Kun haastatellaan lähes ketä tahansa kuuluisaa ihmistä, hän muistelee lähikirjastosta löytämäänsä tärkeää kirjaa, joka näytti elämälle suunnan.” Pantzar tunnetaan muun muassa siitä, että hän ennusti kumisaappaiden katoamisen marketeista. Eivätkö edes robotit valtaa kirjastoja? ”Minusta koko robottiromantiikka on huvittavaa. Pantzar uskoo kirjaston henkilökunnan voimaan, koska hyvien kirjojen vinkkaamiseen tarvitaan joko kirjastotäti tai -setä. Tiedon hakeminen sen sijaan muuttuu.

NC law that ends pay raises for teachers with master's degrees a blow to college finances A master’s degree in teaching costs about $6,400 a semester for a full-time North Carolina resident attending East Carolina University’s College of Education, meaning a four-semester program would cost about $26,000. But, according to the North Carolina state legislature, that doesn’t mean it’s worth anything. In the most recent state budget passed by the state legislature and signed by the governor last week, North Carolina lawmakers eliminated a provision – which exists in many states – that granted automatic pay raises to public school teachers who completed master’s degrees. It was one of several changes the budget made to teacher compensation and working conditions, including ending teacher tenure, but it is the one likely to have the largest impact on the state’s higher education institutions. The elimination of the benefit could have a significant effect on enrollment in education schools at North Carolina colleges and universities.

Free Open Source Textbooks Growing in Popularity in College Classes Though paying for tuition and housing eat up more money, textbook costs are among the most groan-inducing expenses incurred by college students. With tools like Amazon and chegg.com, only the least resourceful of freshmen are blowing $200 for a brand new textbook these days. But a new type of textbook is threatening to disrupt a $4.5 billion industry that has so far avoided the media upheavals experienced in music, movies and trade publications. Open-source textbooks, free for students to use and for professors to modify, are being developed by more companies and adopted in more classrooms. They may work hand-in-hand with the rise in free online courses to revolutionize the way we view—and pay for—higher education. “There’s a crisis of access in this country,” says Richard Baraniuk, a computer and electrical engineering professor at Rice University. Baraniuk thinks that cost should be reduced to zero. (MORE: Why the Online Education Craze Will Leave Many Students Behind) (MORE: A U.S.
