Literacy and Learning in the Content Areas (Master's)

Walden's fully online M.S. in Education program centers on the strategies that lead to greater student and teacher achievement. Our program was developed by K-12 educators for K-12 educators. As a result, our faculty understand your day-to-day pressures and professional needs.

This specialization is designed to help content area teachers of grades 6-12 improve their students' literacy skills. Whether you teach history, science, mathematics, social studies, English, or other content areas, this degree program features research-based strategies to prepare struggling students for more complex, abstract, and sophisticated learning in the content-area classroom. The program is based on the nationally accepted standards for teaching reading for the classroom professional as set forth by the International Reading Association (IRA).
