Teacher Quality Partnership Grant: Clemson University Prepares Rural Educators in Priority Areas through Residency Expansion
This $2.39 million award from the U.S. Department of Education is allowing the Clemson University College of Education’s teacher residency program to expand to school districts in the Pee Dee region. The project places 16 teacher residents in participating districts in the region each year for four years, paying each a $25,000 living stipend during their residency year when the students are placed with mentor teachers.
Examining the Role of Science Coordinators in Supporting and Retaining Teachers
This research award of nearly $1 million from the National Science Foundation seeks to better understand the relationship between the professional development of science leaders in school districts and those districts’ retention of science teachers. The three-year research study will center on the impact of district science coordinators across the country, recruiting both district science coordinators and teachers, each with varying levels of professional development.
EIR Mid-Phase Grant: Validating HEROES
This $625,000 project assists in developing an instructional format for training special education teachers in one-to-one intervention for beginning readers in special education settings. The project recruits and trains at least 48 special education teachers over a four-year period.

Teacher Learning Progression uses Personalized Advanced Credentials for Teachers to improve STEM teacher effectiveness and retention while positively affecting student achievement in South Carolina’s high-needs middle schools. With $3.1 million award from the U.S. Department of Education, researchers have developed an AI-powered recommender system to improve teacher effectiveness and retention while increasing student achievement.
CTPop-ups4All: A Data Science Curriculum for Rural Elementary Students
This $1.5 million project funded by the National Science Foundation partners with rural schools in South Carolina to make computer science fun and accessible to middle school students and those with learning disabilities and emotional and behavioral disorders. The research aims to help students hone computer science skills that will likely be useful in many facets of their everyday lives.
In the NewsS.C. Department of Education Engagement Agreement
The purpose and use of the additional ESSER III funding ($600,000) is to supplement the existing Call Me MISTER programs by supporting up to an additional 60 MISTERs matriculating for three years among 18 four-year partner colleges and nine two-year colleges in South Carolina. The program expects to achieve this goal by increasing the number of inquiries and pool of potential applicants among partner colleges and providing student participants with tuition assistance, mentorship and a co-curricular academic support system.
Science Coordinators Advancing a Framework For Outstanding Leadership Development (SCAFFOLD)
SCAFFOLD is a DRK-12-Teaching Strand, Design and Development – Exploratory Study, Level 2 project ($422,000) that develops and studies a professional development program for District Science Coordinators. This project has the goal of determining the impact of coordinators on teachers, and if they are in need of professional development programming to enhance their work with teachers, which can improve student learning.
