Features

Fair, objective, and voluntary
Nevada’s Certificate of Performance is based on outcome data collected and reported to the state and federal Departments of Education. Any adult educator who works in an established ABE/ESL program in Nevada is eligible to apply.

Uncomplicated and inexpensive
For the Initial Certificate of Performance, applicants need only provide evidence to support their outcomes; this evidence is available through standard program reports. For certificate renewal, applicants additionally supply readily available evidence of workshop completion (such as Certificate of Completion, Conference Evaluation, etc.).

Meaningful to stakeholders
There is a trend at the federal level, as well as in some states, to require that adult educators be certified or credentialed.

Unique
Nevada is presently the only state offering an Adult Basic Educator’s Certificate of Performance based on student outcomes!
