Alternative Routes to Certification
To address critical teaching shortages
in South Carolina, the South Carolina General Assembly
provided for a conditional certification program as part of
the 1984 Education Improvement Act. The purpose of the program is to enable degreed
individuals, who otherwise do not meet certification requirements,
to gain employment in the public schools in a
content area included in the alternative certification program. Eligible candidates are enrolled in a series of training
seminars and workshops as well as graduate courses which lead
to their professional certification.
The Program of Alternative Certification for Educators
(PACE) is South Carolina's alternative route for certification.
