S.C. Teaching Now And Tomorrow

Once successfully recruited into teaching, teachers need assistance in locating suitable positions. Schools districts also seek ready access to qualified candidates. The CERRA Teacher Job Bank allows schools and districts to locate job candidates and advertise openings to teachers looking for positions.

Teachers may use the Job Bank by filling out an On-line Application and submitting it to the Center along with a copy of their teaching certificate.

An "Available Teaching Positions" vacancy list is maintained through the Job Bank and accessible in this section. Also, information about teacher salaries in South Carolina, shortage areas and initial certification is available.

Each summer the CERRA co-sponsors the SC Teacher Expo for Teacher Recruitment. The Expo is a teacher job/information fair that brings together teachers looking for new professional opportunities and South Carolina school districts looking for excellent teachers. The Expo is advertised nationally and attracts participants from a number of states. A printable/mailable Expo registration form will be available in this section.

The report to the Governor, Strengthening the profession that shapes South Carolina's future - Teaching, is now available on the web.

South Carolina, like other states, is experiencing a shortage in its Minority Teacher Supply. The Shortages and Surpluses of teachers are determined annually by the State Board of Education. The Current Profile of the Teaching Population in South Carolina includes the number of teachers overall, the number of teachers by race and ethnicity, the average years of experience, etc.
