Studies: A Comprehensive Review Of Professional Development In South Carolina The south carolina State Department of education (SCSDE) mount an The southcarolina Professional development Standards and key priorities guide all http://www.policystudies.com/studies/professional/south_carolina.html

back A Comprehensive Review of Professional Development in South Carolina A statewide review of professional development in South Carolina has yielded a series of recommendations for improving professional development for principals, teachers, and other educators. The recommendations single out strategies for meeting the state's standards for professional development; increasing local capacity to plan, organize, and provide learning opportunities for educators; and finding time and resources for professional development as priorities for state legislators. PSA's review, conducted for the Education Oversight Committee of the South Carolina State Legislature, is part of a larger strategy to improve professional development under South Carolina's Education Accountability Act. Its findings focus on the new South Carolina Professional Development Standards and the requirement that state professional development funds be spent on activities that meet the standards. Among its recommendations are that: The South Carolina State Department of Education (SCSDE) mount an aggressive effort to disseminate and build strong consensus around the South Carolina Professional Development Standards The SCSDE and local school districts establish professional development accountability systems to ensure that professional development meets the new standards Local districts provide professional development on professional development to principals, other school leaders, and district staff

id=10872 NASBE State Improvement Initiatives, Vol. 7, No. 1 National Association of State Boards of Education South Carolina's Teacher Cadet Program In 1985 South Carolina embarked upon a venture that has evolved into one of the most comprehensive efforts by a state to identify, attract, and place high-quality teaching candidates and keep them in the profession. Established by the Commission on Higher Education in December of 1985, the South Carolina Center for Teacher Recruitment (SCCTR) has grown from one small pilot project in four of the state's high schools to 12 programs that reach out to prospective candidates across the state and provide the foundation for a comprehensive effort to ensure that the state has a diverse, highly qualified teaching work force. Teacher Cadet Program The SCCTR initiative began with the Teacher Cadet Program. The program was designed to encourage high-achieving juniors and seniors in high school to consider teaching as a career. Originally piloted in four high schools in 1985, the project has grown to include 150 of the state's 200 high schools serving more than 2,200 students annually in the program. Twenty-three of the state's 30 higher education institutions have joined the effort, as well, with over two-thirds of the college partners granting college credit for satisfactory completion of the program, which in turn, allows students to receive an honors high school credit. Students accepted into the program enroll in a year-long course in which they study cognitive learning, child development, pedagogy, and education history. Some of the activities include classroom observations, teaching practice lessons, and tutoring. The course is taught one period per day for the entire year, or a semester equivalent.
