xxNYCESPA”s partnership with Walden University, an accredited online university, provides members with another way to continue to grow professionally as they pursue their careers.
xxWalden University provides graduate-level programs to educators, and has done so for 35 years. NYCESPA chose to partner with Walden because of the school’s longstanding commitment to the education community and our shared goal of helping administrators and teachers improve student achievement.
xxWalden’s rigorous degree programs encourage educators to use what they learn to solve the problems they face in their schools. Walden’s innovative distance-learning formats offer educators the flexibility to study and interact with expert faculty and fellow students while balancing work and family commitments.

xxWalden offers several doctoral programs for educational leaders including:
• A doctoral of education (Ed.D.) in Administrator Leadership for Teaching and Learning is designed for principals and practicing administrators who want to lead their learning communities to higher achievement.
• A doctoral in Education (Ph.D.) with nine specializations, including K–12 Educational Leadership. Each Ph.D. program prepares educators to address the nation’s most pressing educational challenges by helping them to become experts in specific areas of study.
• For teachers, Walden offers a Master of Science in Education with 10 specializations, including reading and literacy; math; science; technology; and curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
• An Ed.D. in Teacher Leadership for teachers who want to have a greater influence on the policy and practice of learning without leaving the vibrant interactions of the K–12 classroom.
