The Citadel Uses TeachCharleston as a Connection to Teaching in Charleston County
Staff Report From Charleston CEO
Monday, October 8th, 2018
Charleston County School District offers TeachCharleston as an opportunity for bright, talented individuals to pursue a South Carolina teacher certification in middle level or secondary math, science, or English.
As CCSD's Teach Charleston alternative certification program for math, science, and English teachers continues to expand, The Citadel and CCSD have developed a partnership to provide math majors with a pathway to SC certification. The partnership includes opportunities to explore teaching while completing coursework for a math degree, acceptance into Teach Charleston upon graduation, and a teaching position in CCSD.
Citadel cadets, Zachary Parker (Class of 2020) and Skylar Addy (Class of 2021), met with Bill Briggman, Chief Human Resources Officer for CCSD, and Dr. Richard Robinson and Dr. Mei-Qin Chen from The Citadel's Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, to secure the partnership.
