Host Teacher Benefits
Thank you for being an important part of our candidates’ learning process through the onsite supervision and mentoring you provide as a part of their field experiences. Candidates often report that field experience has been the highlight of their educational journey, and you make that possible.
The following benefits are available to you:
Honorary Clinical Instructor Status
This status can be claimed during the period you are working with a Walden candidate and establishes the guidelines for instructors that are provided by the academic program of the candidate(s) you are working with. This is an honorary status, which is given without payment, and does not make you an employee or agent of Walden or entitle you to receive employment benefits from Walden.
