This P.O.S. just popped up as an ad on my Facebook: http://www.socafe.org/How sh!tty--charging desperate adjuncts $295 for a worthless credential. |

Careful, they may hire the Oxford Round Table lawyers and sue you.

I like the adjunctpreneur neologism. It should have a TM after it.

The cloud diagram's kind of nice.
And it would not be a bad idea to offer some kind of teaching prep for some teachers I've run into.
But I agree, it's a seriously troubling scam.

If my local CC saw this they would add a program to do the same.

I wonder how many will sign up for this scam. Although, OTOH, why didn't I think this one up? I could use the cash.

Here's another scam: earn a PhD, get a good job as a college teacher.
(I am not a PhD. Just observing.)

Maybe it could be useful to professionals who would like to teach in their field but have never taught before?

I suppose, but it smells really bad and seems to target laid-off high school teachers.

Somehow this reminds me of that Who's Who thing which keeps on sending their invitation, saying there's no fee to be listed, but of course, you'd have to pay to get a copy of their issue.

Wow. I wonder what the reaction would be if someone actually listed that on a CV. I would think it would hurt more than help someone find a postsecondary job, even as an adjunct.
