Canter's exclusive educational partner, Walden University's Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership supports the needs of educators at all levels and at every stage of their careers, including new and veteran classroom teachers, faculty and administrators, and career-changers interested in teaching. The college is home to more than 37,000 students and alumni. Walden University's Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership, dedicated to enhancing educator effectiveness and improving student achievement, was identified by U.S. News & World Report as having the largest online graduate program in education by enrollment (May 2010).
With a shared vision of helping teachers enhance their effectiveness in the classroom, Walden and Canter courses are rooted in the same content, feature many of the same educational experts, and are focused on a theory-to-practice approach. While Canter courses are self-paced to maximize flexibility for the working educator, Walden’s courses follow an instructor-led model that encourages online collaboration, while its degrees emphasize long-term career growth.
