CAROLINA JEWETT FOR THE KIDS
Aside from competitive pay, what do you propose we do to attract and retain teachers in Charleston County?
Empower the teachers to teach and the students to learn by fostering an environment where educators are trusted and supported in their mission to deliver the highest quality education. Teachers are the cornerstone of our educational system, and they must be given the autonomy to apply their expertise and creativity in the classroom. To achieve this, it is crucial that they receive consistent and clear guidance from the school board and the superintendent, ensuring that educational policies align with the best practices in teaching. By providing teachers with the necessary resources, professional development opportunities, and a voice in decision-making processes, we can create a collaborative atmosphere that prioritizes student success. This trust and support will enable teachers to focus on what they do best—nurturing the intellectual and personal growth of our students, preparing them for a bright and promising future.
