Extractions: Vol. 7, No. 1 National Association of State Boards of Education South Carolina's Teacher Cadet Program In 1985 South Carolina embarked upon a venture that has evolved into one of the most comprehensive efforts by a state to identify, attract, and place high-quality teaching candidates and keep them in the profession. Established by the Commission on Higher Education in December of 1985, the South Carolina Center for Teacher Recruitment (SCCTR) has grown from one small pilot project in four of the state's high schools to 12 programs that reach out to prospective candidates across the state and provide the foundation for a comprehensive effort to ensure that the state has a diverse, highly qualified teaching work force. The SCCTR initiative began with the Teacher Cadet Program. The program was designed to encourage high-achieving juniors and seniors in high school to consider teaching as a career. Originally piloted in four high schools in 1985, the project has grown to include 150 of the state's 200 high schools serving more than 2,200 students annually in the program. Twenty-three of the state's 30 higher education institutions have joined the effort, as well, with over two-thirds of the college partners granting college credit for satisfactory completion of the program, which in turn, allows students to receive an honors high school credit. Students accepted into the program enroll in a year-long course in which they study cognitive learning, child development, pedagogy, and education history. Some of the activities include classroom observations, teaching practice lessons, and tutoring. The course is taught one period per day for the entire year, or a semester equivalent.

Extractions: South Carolina Department of Social Services piloted the SFMNP through the Councils on Aging in 13 counties. The program was effective May 1, 2001, through September 30, 2001. Fifteen thousand eligible seniors were given $50 in vouchers (5 vouchers worth $10 each). Seniors registered for the program at a variety of sites, including Council on Aging sites, community centers, and churches. Farmers were not permitted to make change for the vouchers, and some seniors could not spend the entire voucher with one vendor. Nearly all participants reported that the nutrition information given with the vouchers was helpful. Despite being provided with nutrition information, most seniors did not purchase a fruit or vegetable that they had never tried before. The most frequently cited barriers to not wanting to attend nutrition classes were a lack of available transportation and poor health. Major themes from farmers' comments included positive opinions about the program for both seniors and farmers, a desire for smaller denominations for the vouchers, and a desire for advance notice about the program to prepare for the next year's crop. To increase seniors' consumption of a variety of fruits and vegetables, dietitians should take the lead in developing future nutrition education materials that include simple recipes for produce that may be unfamiliar to and overlooked by seniors.

Extractions: SPARTANBURG South Carolina senior citizens and disabled residents will have more choice in deciding how their Medicaid money is spent. Gov. Mark Sanford was at the Mountain View nursing home in Spartanburg County Wednesday to announce the pilot program South Carolina Choice. Sanford said the community long-term care program of the Department of Health and Human Services will be able to change the way their Medicaid money is used. Up to this point, senior citizens have had to go through a state-approved agency if they needed at-home health care. The new program allows them to use the money to have a friend, neighbor or relative care for them for the hours they need. Patients can contact a state advisor through the program who can help them get state authorization to spend program money on a particular service or product. Sanford said this plan will let senior citizens use the money in ways that will let them stay home, rather than move to institutional homes.
Extractions: METHODS South Carolina Department of Social Services received $750,000 and piloted the SFMNP through the Councils on Aging in 13 counties. The program was effective May 1, 2001, through September 30, 2001. Fifteen thousand eligible seniors were given $50 in vouchers (5 vouchers worth $10 each).

A brochure with nutrition information and a list of available produce was included with the vouchers.

Farmers were able to take vouchers to local banks for cash or deposit through October 15, 2001.

Extractions: Teacher Educators College HelpLine / Newsletter Mission: The primary purpose of the College HelpLine Program is to work with students in the Teacher Cadet Program, as well as others, who need help getting into college. Priority is given to students of color, first generation college-bound students and those planning to teach. The two basic goals in the program are to assist students with the college admission process and to provide them with information on financial aid. Overview: The College HelpLine, established primarily as a minority initiative for teacher recruitment, recently completed its 14th year of service. College HelpLine directs its support to those especially in need of assistance - first generation college-bound students, low-income students, students of color and non-traditional students seeking to continue their education. Surveys and studies have indicated that these students may be the least likely to request and receive help from guidance counselors, parents or college admissions offices. The primary resource for many students will be the classroom teacher who may or may not be knowledgeable about the complexities of the college admission and financial aid process.
