A Progress Report on the Basic
Skills Instructor Credential Project
The North Carolina
Basic Skills Instructor Credential Project began in
response to a call from the field for a credential to help
professionalize the field of adult education. Such a
credential was seen as a move toward accountability and would
verify that the holder had participated in meaningful
professional development activities and translated that
knowledge into effective teaching and learning in the Basic
Skills program.
When fully
developed, the Credential will:
-
recognize the
specialization in Basic Skills as a bona fide field of
study,
-
offer a
standardized system for transferring professional
development into effective practice,
-
acknowledge
the professional accomplishments of both new and experienced Basic Skills
instructors, and
-
ensure program
quality for adult learners.
