Is it beneficial for science teachers to earn their Masters or PhD?
Yes. Teachers with a Masters degree earn $4,000 – $5,500 more yearly. Earning a PhD brings more prestige, but it does not offer the same financial return. For example, teachers with a PhD usually earn about $2,000 more annually than a teacher with the same experience and only a MS. You are not overqualified if you have a PhD. Many high schools have at least one teacher with a PhD, and typically, that teacher is in science.
