I’m currently in school for early childhood in New Hampshire because I can pay in state. Would it not be worth it to complete school in NH if I want to teach in mass? Kind of just looking for whatever’s cheapest and if teachers in NH make more, I would probably settle

I believe teachers in MA make more but I’m unfamiliar with NH so I wouldn’t take my word for it. I think there are more tests for MA but do believe most of New England has at least some reciprocal requirements.

Thank you!! Grew up in mass, moved to NH so I decided on snhu because it’s cheap and i was allowed in with only my HISET (high school equivalency). Is it possible to get my associates in NH and bachelors in MA?

I think it would be beneficial for you to finish in mass If that’s where you plan to teach. You’re gonna have to take your MTELs regardless in order to get licensed in Massachusetts. I’m in elementary education and the school I’m at focuses on prep for it

Just make sure to pass your MTELs if you want to teach in Mass. Hiring committees don't usually care where your degree is from, as long as you have it.
