TRANSCRIPT:
For South Carolina Public Radio, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments. A minute of education for students and parents.
Teacher shortages continue to challenge schools. That’s why programs like Teaching Fellows at the College of Charleston are so vital. Administered by the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement, the program recruits high school seniors into teaching. As Fellows, these students receive four years of financial support toward a teacher-education degree.
At the College of Charleston, Fellows organize service projects, fundraisers, and professional development events that deepen their commitment to teaching. In return, Fellows teach in South Carolina public schools when they graduate.
This initiative helps attract and retain passionate, well-prepared educators who make a difference in classrooms and communities across the state.
For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris.
