Classes
The Literacy Council provides classes at over 20 locations throughout Prince George’s County. These classes are taught by paid professionally trained teachers in the following areas: basic reading, six levels of ESOL from Beginning through Advanced, PreGED, and GED preparation.

Teaching Jobs
The Literacy Council has a continuing need for teachers to join our paid staff.  Teachers must have at least a 4-year degree from an accredited institution of higher learning.  (Accreditation can be traced by checking with the appropriate regional accreditation agency.  The agency for accrediting institutions in our region is The Middle States Association.  Their web address is http://www.middlestates.org/)

Prior teaching experience is a plus but not required. We conduct our own teacher professional development program. If interested, please contact Instructional Specialist, Eden Segal at 301-699-9770 or esegal@literacycouncil.org.

External Diploma Program (EDP)
The External Diploma program is provided by the Literacy Council of Prince George’s County at the Sports and Learning Complex in Landover near FedEx Field. This is an alternative way to obtain a Maryland State High School Diploma without having to take the GED examination. This program consists of self-study assignments and life-skills assessments in place of classroom lessons and examinations. Students meet with their Advisors/Assessors every week and each day get one step closer to a high school diploma. Students in this program are highly motivated and determined to do whatever it takes to obtain a high school diploma and a brighter future. For more information, contact our EDP Coordinator, Helen Ottley, at (301) 602 -2970 or email at helen.ottley@literacycouncil.org.
