Walden University’s Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership has launched Impact Education, a new resource created specifically for those interested in the field of education.

The inaugural issue features a conversation with Richard W. Riley. In “The Lifelong Pursuit of Education,” Riley, the former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, describes the difference between a good teacher and a great teacher.

“Walden Addresses the Community College Leadership Crisis” highlights Walden’s Ph.D. in Education specialization in Community College Leadership and its role in developing the next generation of leaders. “Mentoring the Next Generation of Teachers” describes how Walden is helping working professionals begin a second career in education through its state-approved* teacher preparation programs.

Other highlights include profiles of alumni making a difference in their community, as described in the “Lifelong Learners Insights” department. This issue includes Heidi Evans’ remarkable work with hearing-impaired students and Rebecca McLelland’s efforts to expand her students’ perspectives on the environment.

*Walden University’s teacher preparation programs are approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching for licensure in Minnesota. Walden’s enrollment advisors can provide individuals with guidelines and other information about licensure. It remains the individual’s responsibility to understand and comply with the out-of-state licensure requirements for the state in which he or she seeks to be licensed.
