Our Goal
"The staff at Walden University - Education Programs is comprised of educators who share the belief that the key to meeting today's rigorous standards is to improve teaching. We believe that if teaching can be improved, student learning will follow.
Walden University - Education Programs, a Laureate Education, Inc. company, is committed to serving the educational community with high-quality, practical products and services. Since 1976, over one million dedicated teachers have used our services because we enable teachers and their students to excel.
Lee and Marlene Canter founded Walden University - Education Programs in 1976. The first product was Assertive Discipline, a guide to helping teachers manage behavior in the classroom in a firm and positive manner. The success of this text is evidenced in the worldwide sales of over 1 million copies and translation into several languages. The core of the Assertive Discipline program has since grown into live workshop presentations, staff development packages, and graduate course offerings focusing on classroom management.
Helping Teachers Succeed
In the last 25 years, we have expanded our product line to over 100 teacher, administrator, and parent titles. We also develop and produce comprehensive multimedia staff development packages on topics such as teacher and student motivation, violence prevention, conflict resolution, and instructional strategies. Our most recent programs cover key subject areas such as reading, technology, and mathematics. We are proud to feature some of today's brightest educational experts in these programs.
Achieving One's Potential
At Walden, we focus our efforts on helping others achieve their potential - whether they are teachers, students, employees, partners, or collaborators. Through charitable services, and hiring practices, the people at Canter have also touched the lives of many in the community.
The Future at Walden
We're excited about the future. We are striving to improve our services by incorporating innovative technology with traditional and research-based methods to provide quality new programs that address the critical needs of today's educators.
We are committed to growth. The growth of teachers. The growth of students. And our growth as a company.
What started as a program to help teachers with discipline in the classroom has evolved into a comprehensive support system for every aspect of teaching. And when teachers further their scope of knowledge, their students further theirs. At Walden, our mission, our passion, lies in helping teachers be the best they can be."
