Teacher as Researcher is a transformative professional practice program brought to you for FREE by the South Carolina Department of Education. This initiative provides professional development, personalized coaching, and tools to guide teachers through implementing and evaluating evidence-based instructional strategies in their unique classroom contexts.

The initiative not only improves instructional practices but also invests in teachers, fostering self-efficacy and a sense of agency, which are known to boost teacher retention—a compelling proposition for school and district leaders committed to educational excellence.

Teacher as Researcher consists of six 2-hour virtual workshops, with time allotted in between for teachers to conduct their research cycles.

Districts and schools can register a group of teachers, or teachers can sign up to be part of a statewide cohort experience or complete the program individually.

With 4 out of 5 teacher participants recommending Teacher as Researcher, this FREE to you ($1,500/teacher value) opportunity is one you won’t want to miss.
