Students conceptualize a personalized blueprint for approaching their Walden doctoral studies and present it in a written Professional Development Plan (PDP or essay). Writing the essay allows students the opportunity to
- Reflect on their personal history, professional accomplishments, and future aspirations;
- Initiate a discussion with faculty about graduate study in general and the Walden program in particular;
- Articulate academic interests and set goals for their Walden educational experience; and
- Establish a personalized timeline for meeting degree requirements (i.e., the Program of Study form).
KAM-based PDPs also have the following goal:
- Identify themes for each KAM that support those interests and goals.
Students develop the PDP in close consultation with their Foundation course instructor/faculty mentor, who will review and approve the final document. (The Program of Study form is ultimately approved by the student’s faculty chair.) Students are urged to review their PDP with their faculty mentor on an annual basis to assess their progress and growth. Students learn more about the PDP in the online Foundation course.
