ADEPT Teacher Evaluation & Support

Expanded ADEPT is the SC Department of Education’s system for teacher support and evaluation.

Expanded ADEPT is really the umbrella term for the levels of teacher support and evaluation process types that occur for teachers at all contract levels throughout the span of their careers.

SC has 3 contract levels: Induction, Annual, and Continuing. Your level is indicated on the employment contract you signed for this coming school year.

SCTS 4.0 Evaluations

The SCTS 4.0 evaluations are structured within 4 broad domains which are specific to their teaching discipline (i.e. classroom teachers, speech-language professionals, school counselors or school librarians). Underneath each domain are the critical elements of teacher performance, known as "indicators," or performance expectations which teachers are expected to demonstrate in their daily practice.
