Instructor Credentialing

Research studies prove that the quality of instruction has the greatest impact on student performance.  As a result, federal and state agencies, in addition to other national organizations, require higher standards for instructors.  Since 2012, the Professional Development Team has offered a process and credentialing system to train instructors in evidence-based teaching methodologies.  These include the learning philosophies and frameworks that are unique to adult education and literacy activities. The credentialing courses and credentialing process funded through the NC Community College System and are accessible to all full or part-time basic skills instructors or community-based volunteers.  Since 2012, the CORE Credential, ASE Language Arts, and ASE Math courses are offered in a Hybrid format through Appalachian State University. Beginning in April 2020, the NCCC Virtual Learning Community will be hosting the courses previously offered through ASU. The ESL Fast Track Certificate is offered in a 100% online format through Central Piedmont Community College.

Once you have discussed your professional development goals or needs with your coordinator or director, you may register.  Courses are limited to 25 participants and must have a minimum of 12 participants.  It is extremely important to attend all courses for which you register. If you are unable to attend, please give notification at least two weeks in advance before the course start date.  As with all college courses, walk-ins or substitutions are not allowed.

The CORE Credential, ASE Language Arts, and ASE Math courses offered by ASU have reached maximum capacity and are now closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 program year.

To register for the ESL Fast Track Certificate contact Nicole Ashton at Nicole.Ashton@cpcc.edu

Registration information for the VLC courses will be posted by April of 2020.
