Walden’s fully online M.S. in Education 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 includes 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
