Examining the Current State of the Teaching Profession: A Case Study of South Carolina
Fri, April 14, 11:40am to 1:10pm CDT (11:40am to 1:10pm CDT), Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, Floor: Level 2, Michigan ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium will focus on the state of the teaching profession and how it reached the point of nationwide teacher walkouts and shortages. While the topic speaks to a national trend, this symposium focuses on South Carolina as a case study example. Through our dialogue, we navigate through various influences and factors influencing the status of teaching in South Carolina, including the civil rights activism of Black educators, teacher shortages undergirding the Abbeville vs. South Carolina school funding lawsuit, state policy responses, teacher compensation, teacher working conditions, and the role of the principal in talent management. This symposium will conclude with a discussion on how to move the teaching profession forward.
