[quote=Anonymous]Honestly many of the teachers at the top schools have graduate degrees and many even PHDs in their content area as opposed to education. Even middle tier schools have many teachers with graduate degrees. Parents in DC aren't going to going to shell out big bucks for low quality teachers. Most well-known independent teachers have an elementary ed backgrounds. I have an MED in secondary education in a highly desired content area, but I still couldn't get a job at a private school. OTOH, I had several offers from well-regarded public schools. I had one interview at mid-low tier private where they flat out told me they preferred masters degrees in content area as opposed to masters in education. These schools can get that interest. Licensure is necessary, but sometimes gives you a narrow way of teaching students. Independent school teachers don't have to worry about PARCC/SOLs. [/quote]
