Walden’s Vision, Mission, and Goals

Explore the “About Us” area of the Walden home page (), paying particular attention to Walden’s Vision and Mission, which state:

Mission

Walden University provides a diverse community of career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners so that they can effect positive social change.

Vision

Walden University envisions a distinctively different 21st-century learning community where knowledge is judged worthy to the degree that it can be applied by its graduates to the immediate solutions of critical societal challenges, thereby advancing the greater global good.

Reflecting on this week’s resources, consider what Walden’s mission and vision means to you and how they relate to your own professional goals, learning and development as a scholar practitioner. With these thoughts in mind, Write a 1- to 2-page paper in which you:

• Using assigned readings and others you might find, discuss the definition and/or meaning of a scholar practitioner
• Identify how you as a scholar-practitioner might help others become agents of change and innovation, both personally and professionally.
• Describe your professional goals and identify how your studies at Walden will help you to achieve them and
• Discuss how your goals and your Walden studies will help you to become a scholar practitioner.

Be sure to cite examples from this week’s readings and others you find in the Library to support your claims. Also, review the Discussion Rubric before and after you create your draft and before you enter it the Discussion Forum.

 

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
