Abstract: Alternative route teachers continue to serve as a critical segment of the educator workforce in South Carolina. As such, there is a need to move beyond broad categorizations and toward finer-grained analyses that consider specific program features, candidate characteristics, and district contexts. This report presents a detailed analysis of South Carolina's alternative route teacher workforce for the 2023-24 academic year and examines multiyear trends in recruitment, preparation, and retention. As part of SC TEACHER's ongoing commitment to providing statewide educator workforce profiles, this publication, along with SC TEACHER's broader research, offers timely, actionable data to inform educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders. The findings are based on educator-level data provided by the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) for 2023-24, along with longitudinal data from the 2019-20 through 2022-23 academic years. The 2023-24 analyses reflect a sample of 5,079 educators affiliated with state-approved alternative certification programs. With a focus on alternative route teachers, these findings may support the development of data-informed strategies to strengthen the overall educator pipeline, improve retention, and enhance recruitment pathways across the state.
