How can a high school teacher be teaching as if he or she were teaching a college-level course?
A teacher who teaches an SCC course in your high school must meet the very same requirements as if he or she was teaching at the College. For example, for an English class, he or she would have to have a Master’s Degree in English or a Master’s Degree in another field, which includes at least 18 graduate credits in English. This teacher is considered an SCC instructor–who just happens to teach for SCC part-time and in a different location: your high school. If a teacher does not meet these criteria, he or she may still be eligible to teach an SCC course under the Partnership program, where they partner with an SCC instructor for the college portion of the class.
