There are programs online where you can get your administrative degree online. Nova Southeastern has a program for it. My former superintendent got his certificate in Educational Leadership from there.

DO NOT GO INTO SPECIAL ED--THE NCLB LAW STATES THAT IF YOU ARE A SPECIAL ED TEACHER, YOU MUST BE CERTIFIED IN ALL SUBJECT AREAS. STAY AWAY FROM SPECIAL ED.

You picked my least two favorite areas--who would want to be an adminstrator or special ed teacher in the NCLB era? Nevertheless, I will help you.

I already teach special ed. You only have to be certified in all the areas if you have a classroom where kids come to you and you are the only teacher. I do not do that. Kids come to me to have test read and that's pretty much it. I might have three students come by my room in a week. And that's a bust week for me.
The reason for the sped and admin is because I have a certificate in sped and my masters in ADmin. My BS is in elementay ed. SO I dont have many choices in what I can get my EDS in

Special ed is actually an OUTSTANDING field for coaches to get into. There is a HUGE shortage of special ed teachers and I know of FEW principals who wouldn't jump at the chance to hire a highly motivated, Type-A personality, positive male role model to be a special ed teacher. Too many guys who want to get into coaching do the PE/Social Studies route. Problem with that is PE teachers and Social Studies teachers are a dime a dozen. Whenever I talk to younger guys who want to get into teaching and coaching, I highly recommend that they pursue certification in high-need areas like special ed, math, science, driver's ed, or ag and industrial arts.

If you are looking for an online program to simply move up on the salary schedule (nothing wrong with that), check out the University of Phoenix Online and Cappela University, which are two of the better known (and accredited) online schools.

I did the University of Phoenix program and received a Master's in Education in about 16 months.
