Walden University, one of the nations largest providers of graduate degrees to K-12 teachers, recently announced three recipients of their Educator for a Day Grant. Walden created the grant initiative to honor the teaching profession, and to reward teachers and students for their commitment to education. The program also aims to promote awareness of the need for more teachers and of the benefits of the teaching profession. Educator for a Day is part of the National Education Associations (NEA) American Education Week, which takes place November 11 to 17.
The three winning schools - -Times Squared Academy in Providence, RI; South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind in Spartanburg, SC; and Conerly Road School in Somerset, NJ – were selected from more than 150 nominations submitted by faculty and administrators across the country. Each school hosted at least one aspiring educator who shadowed a teacher during a school day.
Each recipient uniquely demonstrates a commitment to the work of our nations teachers and is an inspiration to those of us in higher education who are focused on helping teachers gain the necessary education to succeed in their professions and make a difference in the lives of our children, said Jonathan A. Kaplan, J.D., president of Walden University. For 37 years, Walden has offered programs created by teachers for teachers, and these important grants are a continuation of this legacy.
