Walden's new graduate certificate programs for educators are:
-- The Graduate Certificate in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
provides educators with the tools to plan, develop and implement
standards-based curricula and instruction to motivate students and
promote their academic success. Educators also identify how to measure
performance through effective, ongoing assessments and to support
students in monitoring their own learning progress.
-- The Graduate Certificate in Engaging Culturally Diverse Learners engages
educators to explore learning that reflects global societal concerns
about teaching students from diverse backgrounds. They study the latest
tools and technologies, including models such as Universal Design for
Learning (UDL) and differentiated instruction, to create supportive and
effective learning environments.
-- The Graduate Certificate in Integrating Technology in the Classroom
allows education professionals to explore the most current knowledge and
strategies in the field as they gain the technological skills they need
to enhance learning and support problem-solving in the digital age.
-- The Graduate Certificate in Teacher Leadership offers education
professionals the opportunity to discover their leadership strengths and
learn to apply them to key educational challenges, including increasing
student achievement and fostering parental involvement.
Walden's Riley College of Education and Leadership also recently introduced online graduate certificate programs in College Teaching and Learning, Enrollment Management and Institutional Marketing and Professional Development.
