<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>This is in response to the tidbit about how much more money college graduates earn than those who did not attend college. Although I earned more money because of having a degree, I frankly consider my time in teachers colleges in the 60s to not to have been much help in making me an effective teacher. I learned more by reading books after graduation. Then I look at the debacles we see in the financial community, the computer companies, the government and I know that the people involved had their "college degrees" and were well paid. I think we way overrated the value of a college education as the dollars and cents of a degree without common sense simply makes no sense at all.</DIV>

That's great news but whether or not you have to be certified depends on
several factors. I suggest that you contact your state Department of Education
and ask them. If students will receive some sort of diploma or certification,
then then assumption is that you are not only accredited but that the center is
as well. If you are just offering tutoring classes, then that is another matter
all together.

Subject: [LearningDisabilities 2577] Questions about literacy centers
Hello,
I and another person are planning to open up a literacy center. I wanted to
ask if we needed to be certified teachers to start our literacy center. Also,
how does one go about starting one? Where does one get materials, textbooks,
etc? All advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Carolyn
