    Alternative master's path stirs debate | Marketplace From American Public Media Page 1 of 2 Contact About Local Air Times Newsletters Support Us Mobile RSS Our Shows: Marketplace Morning Report Marketplace Marketplace Money Go Monday, April 19, 2010 Alternative master's path stirs debate The state of New York is set to decide on a plan that would allow alternative groups like Teach for America to create their own master's programs for teaching. Amy Scott reports. TEXT OF STORY KAI RYSSDAL: There are hundreds of college and university programs out there teaching people how to be teachers. Some of those programs do a fine job. Others don't. So New York state is set to decide tomorrow on a different way: letting alternative groups like Teach for America create their own master's programs. Teach For America logo (teachforamerica.org) From the Marketplace Education Desk, Amy Scott reports. AMY SCOTT: New York is one of just a handful of states that require teachers to have a master's degree before they can be fully certified. Timothy Daly with the New Teacher Project says that's created a monopoly for teachers' colleges. Tomorrow the New York State Board of Regents may vote to chip away at that monopoly by allowing alternative groups like Daly's to offer master's programs. TIMOTHY DALY: The right to be the exclusive granters of master's degrees, in a state that requires master's degrees, that was a very lucrative right that they're proposing to take away. But Daly says the New York proposal isn't the answer.

Yesterday, we looked at the economics of dying. Why is it so expensive? Do we get the care we want? Today, we look specifically at palliative care. Palliative care is a relatively new specialty that’s gaining broader interest among the medical community. A lot of palliative care is geared toward people with terminal illnesses, but it can also be applied to those with chronic conditions.
