An adult education classroom is part of a public education program for adults 18 and older. However, there are several sections of Education Code that allow individuals under the age of 18 years to attend classes for adults.
An Adult Education teaching credential issued by the Commission authorizes the holder to provide instruction in the subject area on the credential in courses limited to adult education programs. It does not authorize the holder to provide instruction in traditional K-12 public schools, as identified by the California Department of Education (CDE), including charter schools. Educators teaching classes that are organized primarily for adults must either hold a Commission issued document authorizing the assignment, provided in the Documents Authorizing Adult Education webpage, or be otherwise legally authorized through statute/regulations (ie. Local Assignment Option).
