The mission of the Alternative Pathways for Educator Certification (APEC) Center at Columbia College is to recruit, prepare, and retain quality teachers in critical-needs school districts in South Carolina. The Center focuses on professional development, mentoring, and support aimed at improving the performance and retention of teachers who receive alternative certification in our partner districts (Richland One and Fairchild). The APEC program was created to address the concern that many alternatively certified teachers receive inadequate preparation and mentoring for the classroom.
