The CCSD teacher recruiters have many years of experience as dedicated public educators. Their time in education varies from classroom instruction, teacher evaluation, teacher mentoring, instructional coaching, curriculum work, professional development and school administration. The team consist of two elementary recruiters, a middle school recruiter and a high school recruiter. Teacher recruitment begins in August researching hiring trends within CCSD for the upcoming school year. Based on these findings, recruiters travel from September through May to find the best possible teaching talent for Charleston County. Year round teacher recruiters are interviewing, clearing, and hiring teachers for CCSD. Much of their time is also spent networking with colleges/universities and local high schools to ensure future teachers are recruited. The CCSD teacher recruiters strive to be a smiling, service oriented team. Please let us know how we can assist you with your teacher hiring needs!
