What it is:

• SC TEACHER’s top ten findings shed light on concerns around teacher retention, as well as the working conditions affecting teachers most and insights into new teacher experiences.  
• The piece helps paint a broader picture of today’s educator experiences and the educator pipeline in South Carolina.
• As illustrated in this piece, SC TEACHER is working to making research analysis more accessible and actionable through data visualization.

Why it matters:

Looking at research in conversation across SC TEACHER focus areas, state education leaders can better see patterns and trends in SC-centric data that could inform statewide policies and district practices.

Housed in the USC College of Education, SC TEACHER is a research consortium focused on South Carolina’s educator pipeline. The consortium is completing its second year of legislative funding and releases state-centric research every month.
