By the turn of the century, the societal expectation that teachers should be better educated than the general population will require that teachers have a master's degree. Data showing a modest relationship between the percentage of teachers within a district holding the master's degree and student achievement are presented. The probable effect of state policy requiring teachers to obtain a master's degree on this relationship is discussed. It is recommended that states offer adequate and equitable salary incentives to teachers with a master's degree and that they insti tute policies that allow beginning teachers with a bachelor's degree to receive provisional certifi cation but require a master's degree after a specified number of years for permanent certifica tion
