The establishment of professional credentials for adult education practitioners is one of the most innovative projects in adult education. Adult educators are typically not required to hold specialized licenses or professional credentials. The Texas Adult Education Credential Project offers two separate credentials: a Teacher Credential and an Administrator Credential. Both the Teacher Credential and the Administrator Credential value the experiences of the individual educator while providing the opportunity to tie theory to practice thus allowing for the development of strong adult education programs that ultimately result in improved student success.
