Under the program, qualified seniors in high schools across the county are identified by the school district and during their senior year, through Seminole State’s dual enrollment program, take Introduction to the Teaching Profession in the fall online and Children and Adolescent Development for Educators online in the spring semester. "The intent of the TEACH program is to elevate the teaching profession by fostering and developing our own SCPS homegrown teachers and keeping that talent here in our district," said Walt Griffin, Ed.D., Superintendent of Seminole County Public Schools. The Education and Cultivation Homegrown (TEACH) program was developed so SCPS can grow their own teaching staff.
