South Carolina is currently experiencing a shortage of teachers and has a high demand for teachers certified in all areas, particularly special education. South Carolina is committed to a strong minority teacher presence in the classroom.
Recruiters are anxious to interview minority candidates in all teaching areas.
Many of the state's school districts are in rural communities. These districts want to attract teachers who are interested in and enjoy rural lifestyles. Currently South Carolina has a high demand for teachers certified in all areas. After you register for EXPO, you will receive a certification packet with your EXPO confirmation materials. Included with that packet will be information about the South Carolina Critical Needs Program, which is an alternative teacher certification program in South Carolina.
