How much is the salary of a special ed teacher with a masters degree? (preferably in ga)?

Question

I want to go and recieve my masters in special ed. How much do they make? Do private schools pay more? Can you get a doctorate in it and if so how much can you make with that?

Answer 1

about 30-40k a year. Depends on how well the students improve their grades, and the personality of the teacher.

Answer 2

I am currently living in CA and have a masters degree and 7 yrs teaching experience ( actually have 11 yrs but CA only counts first 7). I am making about $65,000. Private schools usually pay less. You can get a doctorate but if you are going to teach not really a sound investment as  your salary increase will not justify it. If you go into administration you can make quite a bit more. You have to LOVE Sp. Ed. to teach it. High burn out rate.

I would guess in GA a masters w/no experience would be $35,000ish
