The Teacher Cadet Program in Progress. A Study of the 1987-88 Implementation.
Kuhs, Therese M.; Cook, Nancy R.
The South Carolina Teacher Cadet Program (TCP) was developed to recruit high school students with strong academic records into the field of teaching. The program enrolls such students in a senior honors class to learn more about teaching, learning, schools, and the field of education. The program is established in 54 sites in the state and invites the cooperation of "partner" colleges, which, in some cases, offer college credits for participating students. This document reports the results of surveys assessing the program's effectiveness that were sent to all TCP teachers, to the principals of schools where TCP is offered, and to representatives of the partner colleges and universities. The surveys investigated the selection of TCP teachers, recruitment of students, involvement of partner colleges, and local perceptions of the value of both the TCP curriculum guide and the cadet program itself.
