A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n National Conference on Teacher Quality - Exemplary Practices in Teacher Recruitment Exemplary Practices A-4: South Carolina Center for Teacher Recruitment History The South Carolina Center for Teacher Recruitment (SCCTR) is the oldest and most established teacher recruitment program in the country. The South Carolina Center for Teacher Recruitment, established by the Commission on Higher Education in December 1985 and funded by the South Carolina General Assembly, has completed its twelfth year of operation. Following the passage of the state’s landmark Education Improvement Act, the SCCTR was created out of a concern for the condition of South Carolina’s teacher supply pool and a need for a centralized teacher recruitment effort. SCCTR’s recruitment agenda is a comprehensive one in which the Center pursues a variety of programs for increasing the number of students in the education pipeline and recruiting and retaining certified teachers. The SCCTR’s primary target groups are middle and high school students, college students and adults. The Center for Teacher Recruitment is staffed by a director, an associate director, seven teachers in residence (including the S.C. Teacher of the Year) and four administrative assistants. The SCCTR has developed into a national model for teacher recruitment and has been adopted by approximately one-fourth of all teacher recruitment programs in the country.

Dept of Education: South Carolina best in the country for improving teacher quality, according to national report card From the Dept of Education South Carolina’s efforts to improve teacher quality are the best in the country, according to a national report card released today that also ranked the state 12th-best for raising academic standards. Quality Counts 2003, published by the respected national magazine Education Week, is the seventh annual report card on the state of school reform across the United States. “It’s very rewarding to see the emphasis that we’ve placed on quality teaching recognized as the best in the nation,” said State Superintendent of Education Inez Tenenbaum. “We’re determined to see that every child has a competent, caring classroom teacher.” The state’s teacher quality improvements earned an 87, a three-point gain from last year’s score and the highest score of any state. South Carolina received a letter grade of B+; the lowest grade of D- was earned by six states. Tenenbaum said South Carolina’s teacher quality efforts center on providing a continuum of service that range from attracting quality middle and high school students to enter the teaching profession – through ProTeam and Teacher Cadet programs – to involving retired educators as important contributors in the system.
