In Walden’s EdS in Learning, Instruction, and Innovation program, you will prepare to help students learn more effectively through new and creative approaches to curriculum, assessment, and the use of technology.

Today's P-12 educational environment needs educators who can engage learners through new and creative learning experiences. In this online program, you can advance your career as an innovative classroom teacher or instructional leader who is prepared to educate students more effectively through out-of-the-box learning solutions.

Through your coursework, you will explore effective approaches to:

  • Teach through the use of technology
  • Learn to design curriculum and assess student learning in new ways
  • Gain perspective on how to creatively meet the needs of learners in today’s global community.

An EdS degree can dramatically impact your salary and career. However, our Lifelong Learner Pathway allows you to seamlessly move into the PhD in Education program if you later choose to pursue a doctorate. As an EdS student, you will take the same initial advanced graduate courses as the PhD students. If you are inspired to earn your doctorate, you can easily transfer into the PhD in Education with a specialization in Learning, Instruction, and Innovation program or the PhD in Education with a specialization in Educational Technology and Design program.
