Fellows are responsible for interacting with students within this platform. Discussion Boards for classrooms are open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Although postings to the classroom may be done at any time of day, they must be completed in a timely manner in accordance with the Faculty Handbook or other criteria established by Walden University.

Faculty members will publish their availability to students through course syllabi, instructor information in the classroom, and/or other appropriate documents. The university suggests regular and predictable availability, such as online office hours or regular online chats.

Fellowship Commitments: Fellows participate virtually in a Kick-off, monthly coaching sessions, professional development and service opportunities, shadowing, teaching, and supervisor and mentoring meetings. They will also collaborate with a coach, mentor, and supervisor to develop and reflect on an annual plan with specific goals for each term, receive mentor/supervisor approval of the plan, and submit the plan to the Fellowship office on a quarterly basis.

Residencies : Faculty Members may be required to attend virtual or in-person Residencies held domestically or internationally where they will teach intensives and colloquia and facilitate school and university-wide discussions.
