Alabama schools now allowed to use non-certified teachers [View all]
Someone who is not a certified teacher can now teach your children in Alabama.
The State Board of Education approved a new category of educators called adjunct teachers.

An adjunct teacher is someone who has worked in a career field other than education, will work part time under a licensed teacher and has a high school diploma or equivalent.
