Buttram Receives Certification in
Developmental Education
Shirley Buttram of Northeast Alabama Community College has
recently received certification as a “Developmental Education
Specialist” from the Kellogg Institute for the Training and
Certification of Developmental Educators. Buttram was one of the
45 educators selected from across the United States to
participate in the Kellogg Institute and its certification
process during the 2006 academic year.
The Kellogg Institute, now in its 28th year, offers a unique
month-long living/learning experience for the training and
certification of educational professionals who work with
academically underprepared students on college campuses. Each
year 45 individuals participate in a summer training program,
followed by a semester’s practicum in which participants
implement new techniques on their home campuses.
 Buttram
was awarded certification as a result of her participation in
the training program and completion of an implementation project
at NACC. The certification as “Developmental Education
Specialist” is awarded through the Kellogg Institute, in
conjunction with Appalachian State University in Boone, North
Carolina.
