[ProfessionalDevelopment 1876] New from the Center for Adult English Language Acquisition: A brief on credentialing and certification for adult ESL instructorsMiriam Burt mburt at cal.orgWed Jan 16 10:04:52 EST 2008
Hello, everyone. I'm pleased to announce that the latest brief from the Center for Adult English Language Acquisition (CAELA), Adult ESL Teacher Credentialing and Certification, is now available on the CAELA Web site and can be downloaded at http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/briefs/tchrcred.html <http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/briefs/tchrcred.html> This latest CAELA brief was written by JoAnn (Jodi) Crandall of the University of Maryland Baltimore County and Genesis Ingersoll and Jacqueline Lopez of the Center for Applied Linguistics. Ths brief describes efforts to professionalize the workforce of adult ESL educators, including efforts to certify and credential these teachers; discusses the qualification requirements for adult ESL teachers in the 50 states and the District of Columbia; and recommends steps for states to take to continue to professionalize the field. Of special interest and use, I think, is Table 1, which lists the credentialing and certification requirements by state, from each of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia. This information was gathered through conversations with staff at the state departments of education. The table is a hyperlink, on page 5 of the printer-friendly version, in the section entitled Data Collection. We hope you find the information helpful.
