Explanation of the Plan
The purpose of the new
Certificate Renewal Plan is to provide a
method that certified educators employed by the district with
a contractual agreement can use to apply a broad range
of relevant professional development activities to
meet their certification renewal requirements. South
Carolina state statute and State Board of Education
regulations require that a teacher have a valid
certificate in the area(s) he or she is teaching.
It is the sole responsibility and the contractual
obligation of the employee to maintain a valid
certificate.
For additional information about
certification issues, please visit State Department of Education Office of Teacher
Certification.
It is a systematic
method to integrate the requirements of employment
with evaluation and professional development to
support the goals of teachers, districts, school
renewal and strategic plans.
