A total of 755 South Carolina educators earned National Board Certified Teachers status, according to data released Tuesday by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
This is the most teachers to obtain the nation's highest teaching credential since 2002 when 1,072 teachers earned the distinction. Twenty-one school districts had at least 11 teachers become certified, led by Greenville which had 77 teachers certify.
This year's number of newly certified teachers increases the total number of nationally-certified teachers in the Palmetto State to 6,499, which is the third highest in the country behind North Carolina and Florida.
"National Board is a rigorous process that requires dedication, countless hours of hard work and a great deal of sacrifice, not only by our teachers, but by their families as well," said State Superintendent of Education Jim Rex in a written release. "Achieving teachers tell me that it strengthens what they do in the classroom and forever changes them. That can only have a positive impact on instruction. I congratulate all of them."
South Carolina became involved in the National Board process 15 years ago. In 1994, five teachers earned the designation.
