Certification requirements for K-12 are always controlled by each
individual state.  The place to start is at the education department of a
nearby college or university.  they should be able to answer your
questions regarding student teaching and any other classes you need. At
the adult level certification reuqirements vary.  Some states don't
require certification to teach Adult ESL. In some states it's controlled
by same Board of Education as K-12.  In other states Adult ESL has its
own certifying boards. You may need to contact someone who coordinates
Adult ESL and literacy programs. In many states this person can be found
at the nearby community college often in continuing education. Just
remember what is good in one state won't necessarily meet another state's
requirements so it is important so you have to find out the requirements
for the state you plan to work in.
