“Walden has truly opened my eyes to so many different teaching methods. Thanks to the strategies I learned at Walden, I’ve experienced a shift from “lecturer” to more of a student-driven, partnership approach in my classroom. And my students are absolutely blossoming because of it.”
Deborah Fogg, MSEd Graduate, 2009 New Hampshire Teacher of the Year
Walden’s fully online MS in Education program centers on the strategies that are intended to lead to greater student achievement and teacher success. The program’s specializations teach advanced skills that are designed to improve student learning. Each specialization area encourages educators to put their new skills to the test in actual classroom and school settings and to continually challenge the results of teaching and learning
Note on Teacher Licensure or Certification
The only MS in Education specialization offered by Walden that is state-approved as leading to any educational license or certification is the MS in Education, Educational Leadership and Administration (Principal Licensure Program), which has been approved in Ohio for leading to Building Level Principal Licensure (grades preK–6, grades 4–9, and grades 5–12). No other MS in Education specialization will lead to teacher licensure or certification. Teachers are advised to contact their individual school districts as to whether this program may qualify for salary advancement.
Degree Requirements
Degree requirements are dependent upon the particular specialization. Please see each specialization page for more details.

Educators who do not have such access must find a student or group of students to work with when asked to apply their new knowledge and reflect on the results. Students without classroom access will not be given alternative assignments.
