On August 5, 2006, more than 300 South Carolina National Board Certified Teachers[R] (NBCTs) assembled in Columbia at a policy summit to address the vexing problem of recruiting and retaining accomplished teachers in high-needs schools. Before this summit, the NBCTs read a number of background papers and research summaries. During the summit, they listened to the state's leading policymakers and other educators articulate their views on the issues at hand and then participated in highly-structured, small-group work sessions. Facilitated by specially-prepared teacher leaders, the NBCTs analyzed the facts, grounded them in their own classroom experiences and then developed preliminary ideas about what needed to be done. This paper offers a list of ideas and recommendations that, if heeded, could solve South Carolina's staffing problems in high-needs schools. While it is unlikely that all of these ideas and actions can be implemented immediately, policymakers are urged to give close attention to the proposals because only a comprehensive set of solutions can solve the complex problem of supporting and staffing high-needs schools.
