I have also been active in certification efforts at the K-12 levels for Bilingual Ed. and ESL. There are currently no state level adult ESL or adult certification requirements in our state. However, school districts tend to follow the requirements for K-12, but this is not required. Community Colleges implementing adult education tend to follow their own local institution's requirements which are often minimal when it comes to part time Adult ESL teaching. I would also refer you to a Pelavin Associates publication, State of the Practice Report which was a part of a U.S. Dept. of Education study entitled, A Study of ABE/ESL Teacher Training Approaches. It is available through the Adult Ed. Clearinghouse. I would suggest calling Joyce Campbell, U.S. Dept. of Education, ESL Specialist for further references on this topic or information about the Clearinghouse.
