What kind of training do HWS teachers have?
Class teachers have a college degree and teaching certification from a recognized Waldorf teacher training college or institute. Some Waldorf training programs can also grant B.A. or M.S. Ed. degrees in conjunction with Waldorf teaching certification. Typically, the course of study for teachers is from two to three years, and includes practice teaching in a Waldorf school under the supervision of experienced Waldorf teachers. Teachers must also satisfy whatever state credential and licensing requirements might apply.
