Course-Based Learning Model

The Walden doctoral learning model is designed to build your skills as you engage in action research that will impact your school or organization. By following a prescribed sequence of courses, you will have the opportunity to learn with peers, allowing you to build a rapport that continues throughout your program. The program was created to help you develop expertise in a number of ways:

• Acquire an inquiry stance into learning, teaching, and leading.

• Apply theories and practices of personal and professional development with yourself, colleagues, and the global community.

• Influence, advocate, and contribute to communities of professional practice within schools and higher education settings in the global community.
