Twenty-four of America’s top educators who were selected as Teacher of the Year in their states have chosen The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership at Walden University to pursue a graduate degree in education. The two dozen Teacher of the Year scholars currently enrolled at Walden come from across the United States, representing 18 states plus the District of Columbia, Guam and the Department of Defense Education Activity.

 

Each year, Teacher of the Year honorees are recognized nationally after a rigorous selection process, which varies by region, and a validation of his or her abilities in the classroom. Walden’s programs allow honorees to work toward earning their master’s or doctoral degree in education online while meeting their classroom and Teacher of the Year responsibilities.

 

“Walden University has a nearly 40-year legacy of educating educators and, in fact, a number of our alumni have been honored as state Teacher of the Year award winners in the past. We feel privileged to have some of our nation’s finest teachers as a part of the Walden community of learners,” said Victoria Reid, vice president of The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership.
