Master's in Education

One resource that will continue to be in abundance in the coming years is children. There will be no shortage of students entering school and requiring a quality education provided by caring, engaged teachers.

With the increasing needs in educating students, there will be a commensurate jump in the demand for qualified educators. While many new teachers will earn bachelor's degrees, current teachers who already have bachelor's degrees need to find an edge to stay competitive, relevant and to maximize their earning potential.

One of the best ways to do that is by earning a master's degree in education (M.S. in Education). Not only does the experience of continuing your education provide the up-to-date skills and strategies necessary for success in today's classrooms, but the prestige and competence denoted by a master's degree can be great assets in today's schools.

An ideal program is one that is challenging and worthwhile, yet convenient. Walden University's M.S. in Education meets those requirements. Curriculum is strenuous, but is fully online, so it can meet the needs of those who want a quality experience to fit into their busy schedules.

Walden's fully online program centers on the strategies that lead to greater student and teacher achievement. We are continually evaluating our curriculum to address the changing landscape of teaching, which is why our M.S. in Education program will soon include more emphasis on the following four themes:

Teacher professionalism, including beliefs and behaviors that contribute to a higher level of teacher performance
Cultural and linguistic diversity, and the skills needed to adapt to various learning and language styles
Supportive learning environments, and the keys to build a learning community that motivates and engages students
Teacher as a facilitator for learning, and how to leverage data assessment to be an instructional leader

Walden's program was developed by K-12 educators for K-12 educators. As a result, Walden's faculty understands your day-to-day pressures and professional needs.

Walden's specializations:

Align with national standards
