And if you do have pay equity in your state (for example, Adult Ed teachers get paid on the same scale as K-12 teachers) how was this accomplished? For the other lister who just asked--for those of us who work in Adult Ed programs that are a part of school districts we are sometimes required to have secondary or K-12 certification, even though we are teaching adults, but because we are teaching for a school district (I guess). However, this certification often doesn't have to be in ESL. Several teachers in our adult ed program do not have ESL certification but have secondary certification in other areas, generally language arts. I agree that this doesn't make sense, but this is what happens when you start trying to create one specific requirement for a position. Terry Pruett-Said Adult Ed ESL teacher Michigan
