You would probably do well to contact someone at TESOL. Good luck. Gail S "TESOL certainly knows what the levels are for ESL instructors -- usually an MA in a specialty field, I think. For ABE/ASE, we know the requirements for some states. Generally it's a BA plus some special (brief) pre-service training + 8 hours or more of in-service per year. In many states it's a K-12 teaching certificate. Few states require a degree or specialization in adult ed, because so few univiersities offer it. Many states don't even require a BA in ed of any sort." >Hi, > >I'm wondering if anyone has information about any >statistics that tell us what the education/training >level is of adult ed instructors in ESL or ABE. > >I want to find out the number of people who enter the >field with education vs. those who get their training >on the job. > >Thank you, >Valley Peters > >Teton Literacy Program >Jackson, WY > > > > >__________________________________ >Do you Yahoo!? >Yahoo!
