• Programs

• Schools

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; unpaid volunteers also teach these subjects.
• Most programs require teachers to have at least a bachelor's degree; a public school teaching license is required for public programs in some States.
• Opportunities for teachers of English as a second language are expected to be very good because their classes should be in demand by the increasing number of residents with limited English skills.
