Professional Development
The Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) program places significant emphasis on professional development to enable each adult education staff member to meet the needs of their students.
We recommend that each staff member develop a professional development plan. New-teacher training is available for ABE, ASE and ESL full- and part-time teachers.

Credit and CEU Courses
Most professional development programs offered by SDALL offer undergraduate and graduate credit (or CEU) for teachers.
Local program funds may be used to support such courses with prior approval by the local program director.
For more information or resources for such things as membership fees and dues, attendance at annual institutes and conferences, state-sponsored meetings and locally sponsored meetings and in-service sessions, please refer to the Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) Policy Manual (available in Adobe .pdf format*).
