Opportunity at a Glance
Contributing faculty members serve in a part-time capacity to educate Walden University Students by effectively and proficiently using online technology and resources so that knowledge, information, feedback, and critique are imparted to and shared with students in thoughtful, carefully formulated, well written, and timely communications. This is accomplished in an environment that is respectful of student, the Faculty Member, Walden University, and the discipline in which the Faculty Member is involved. Faculty Members are expected to adhere to all Walden University Faculty expectations, which are clearly set forth to the Faculty Member at the start of his/her employment with the University.
Walden’s values and mission
Students and faculty choose Walden because of our commitment to social change. We keep our values in mind with every action we take. We are a teaching institution. Online higher education is our specialty, and we were early pioneers in this field. We are committed to developing a community of care through inclusive teaching and learning in all our academic endeavors, using a framework of shared accountability to enhance and advance the equitable health and wellbeing of communities, systems, and organizations. We value the inherent worth, humanity, and dignity of every individual engaged in the learning process.
College of Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Studies
The College of Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Studies is a new unit within Walden bringing together undergraduate general education and all non-licensure B.S. programs. These include:
We meet students where they are and accompany them as they strive to move forward on their academic pathways. Our philosophy is that we are all lifelong learners. As such, we understand the challenges of balancing life and learning and support our students as they pursue their academic and professional goals.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Walden provides undergraduate instruction in two modalities; course based with 6-week terms and competency based using a subscription model. Faculty start teaching in the course-based modality before potentially adding the competency-based modality on an as needed basis. All modalities are asynchronous. Contributing Faculty manage their own time to fulfill their responsibilities. We value the experience you bring with you and want to make sure your voice is heard as policies and initiatives take shape and find implementation.
Training
All new faculty members receive specific training from Walden University in the techniques of online teaching: use of the Learning Management System (LMS), specifics of the policies, procedures, and degree programs in which they are going to teach; socialization int the Walden University culture; assessment of academic integrity of student work including use of www.TurnItIn.com and acceptable use of AI. A faculty peer mentor is appointed at the start of the first teaching assignment to provide mentorship and establish collegiality.
Our students
Walden is a broad-access institution offering degrees at the bachelors’, masters’ and doctoral levels. Women represent over 70% of our undergraduate population. Walden’s undergraduate population is 44% white, 36% black, and 10% identify as Hispanic or Latino. We proudly embrace our LGBTQIAA+, (dis)abled, and first-generation college students, working parents and caregivers, as well as military veterans, and the unique cultural, linguistic, ethnic, and religious backgrounds of all our students. Walden students are between 25 and 75 years old, with 34% falling in the 30-39 age demographic.
Most importantly, we acknowledge the impact of intersectionality on the lives of our students, and we strive to provide community, support, and rigor tailored to the individuals that are our students.
To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students is essential if we are to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin. – bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress
Process
When applying, be prepared to upload your CV, as well as a cover letter describing your experiences with students, including challenges and successes. While your teaching philosophy is important, your individuality and experience with students is of most interest to us. We ask that you include a description of an experience you may have had as a student yourself that informs your approach to teaching today. We welcome applications from faculty at all career stages.
