Adult Basic and Secondary Education and Literacy Teachers

Adult Literacy Instructors

‹ ›

Teach or instruct out-of-school youths and adults in remedial education classes, preparatory classes for the General Educational Development test, literacy, or English as a Second Language. Teaching may or may not take place in a traditional educational institution.

Many adult literacy and remedial education teachers work part time and receive no benefits.
Many programs require teachers to have at least a bachelor's degree; a public school teaching license may be required for publicly run programs in most States.
Job opportunities are expected to be favorable, particularly for teachers of English to speakers of other languages.
