Where did you do your Masters? NY has reciprocity with a lot of states so I'm not too concerned. I must make a decision by today!!! I'm leaning towards Pitt as of now.

I want to teach in Massachusetts. I've been given an informal offer at my old high school which is nice. When you say that TC is rigorous, are you talking about teacher education programs in particular, because that is all that matters for me?

Thanks for the input! As for your question, I'm not enitirely sure. I'm just going off of what I've heard and read about

I was recently accepted to both Teachers College and the University of Pittsburgh School of Education to pursue a M.A. in Math Education. Pitt Pros 20k scholarship Located in PA which is where I did my undergrad so I'm familiar with PA teaching requirements Smaller classes Cons Not the best ranking and lacks prestige I would have to complete 2 summer courses before enrolling which would cost me additional money Far from home (Boston) Teachers College Pros 12k in scholarship and perhaps more later on (as people decline) Located in NYC so not far from home Really good rankings (5th overall for secondary education) and a very strong math education dept Cons Cost Reputation (diploma mill) Large class sizes Both programs are only a yearlong. I would love to hear people's input! I must make a decision by next week.
