Education & Training

"Everyone wants to make a difference, but teachers may have the best claim to being able to shape the future. By helping children learn how best to make their way through life, teachers prepare the corps of time travelers who will be responsible for mankind’s fate 50 years from now. Whatever their motivation, teachers across the state of South Carolina are enjoying satisfying, well-paid careers in supportive environments."
