South Carolina S0078 allows educators to receive credit for prior work experience related to their teaching field.
South Carolina S0078 amends the state code to allow the State Department of Education to award years of experience on an educator certificate for relevant prior work experience. Eligible individuals must have entered the teaching profession before July 1, 2025, and must complete a verification form. One year of experience credit is awarded for every two years of full-time relevant work experience. This credit is solely for advancing on the teacher salary schedule and does not affect state retirement or health plans.
