Good morning all! I have recently become director of the community agency that was a partner for our site but is now running the site! I need to write a job description to hire a new instructor. I have the sample one from HQ but I am wondering what qualifications people look for. We are an adult program so, while I would like someone with a teaching background, it's not crucial. What other qualifications would be appropriate?

Hello
The following is the official guidance from Project SEARCH regarding adult instructors.

Adult Instructors
Must have training, experience, and a background in adult basic education, special education, rehabilitation, or a related field that meets the Project SEARCH model.
Are not required to have a special education license or teacher certification.
I have attached some documents for further guidance.
