Mixed results for South Carolina teacher specialist program review
A six year old program relocated expert teachers to underperforming schools for a 20000 annual bonus. Teachers gave the program a 79 percent approval, saying it improved instruction and teamwork, while 65 percent of involved schools showed no rating gains in 2002 03. The review recommends three year postings, three year performance evaluations, and better match assessments, with an alternative structure proposed to boost master teachers locally. The report heads to the full Education Oversight Committee on February 19.
