Teaching competences in adult education and continuing education

Teachers make an essential contribution to the success of continuing education programmes. However, which specific pedagogical skills do they need in the field of adult education in order to be able to offer high-quality provision that is aligned to the needs of the particular target groups? And how can their existing competencies be made visible and accorded recognition? As part of the GRETA project, a competence model has been developed to serve as a foundation for the assessment of competencies which may also prospectively lead to recognition. This article presents the development and implementation of the portfolio created for this purpose.
