An Evening Teacher Certification Program Designed for Adults Learners
Lintner, Timothy
Journal of Adult Education, v33 n2 p30-34 Fall 2004
As more and more teachers leave the classroom, states are looking to actively recruit the returning adult learner into the teaching profession. This study examines an innovative teacher certification program in South Carolina whose goal is to do just that. Issues such as planning and scheduling are presented that offer insight into the design and delivery of this unique and responsive certification program. Though this program is unique to South Carolina, it is applicable to all who seek to recruit the adult learner.
