Yes. Throughout Walden’s teacher preparation program, you will spend approximately 15 hours per course in classrooms completing field experiences (an average of two to three hours per week during the course’s duration). During this time, you will complete activities and assignments, including observing, interviewing, and interacting with children, and creating and teaching lessons. Then, at the end of the program, you’ll spend 12 continuous weeks of full-time demonstration teaching (also known as candidate teaching). During the experience, you will take over all responsibilities for the classroom and implement what you have learned during the program.
