A new story for education
By OTIS RAWL
President and CEO, S.C. Chamber of Commerce

AUG.
23, 2010 -- As president and CEO of the South Carolina Chamber of
Commerce, the state's unified voice of business, I spend a lot of
time traveling the Palmetto State and talking with business leaders.
In my work with the business community, I have found time and again
that workforce development issues are at the forefront of concerns
among employers.
Rawl |
The
business community is committed to cultivating a prepared and skilled
workforce for the future. High schools, the technical college system,
colleges, universities, industry representatives and business leaders
are working together on a wide range of initiatives to help build
a strong and capable workforce. But, I often find there is a tarnished
perception among those living in South Carolina and those outside
our borders about the true state of our education system. When it
comes to reporting on education, we tend to focus on the negative.
Though there is undoubtedly much work to be done, I would argue
there is much progress being made in education and workforce development.
Did
you know the Palmetto State ranks second in the nation in online
learning programs like virtual schools and enrolls 5,000 students
in 60-plus courses? Or, that the national report card Quality Counts
2009 ranked South Carolina No. 1 in the nation for improving teacher
quality and No. 5 in the nation for academic standards and accountability?
Did you know that seven independent national studies have cited
South Carolina's academic standards as among the most rigorous in
the nation? Or, that South Carolina has placed in the top five every
year in rankings of states with the best workforce training programs?
| "Simply
stated, if students can see the applicability and relevance
of what they are learning, then more students will succeed.
It is a win-win situation for students, employers and all of
South Carolina." |
This
October will be the fifth anniversary of the convening of the Education
and Economic Development Act Coordinating Council. The EEDA, now
known as Personal Pathways to Success, was passed in 2005 by the
South Carolina General Assembly and ensures that every single high
school student in this state completes an Individual Graduation
Plan tailored to specific career clusters. Personal Pathways also
encourages parental involvement and support in the education process.
Classes are tailored to each student's career interests, making
a student's transition to higher education or the workplace more
seamless.
Employers
believe this legislation gives students leverage to become better
educated in fields that best suit their desires, ultimately increasing
competitiveness for existing and new businesses. Simply stated,
if students can see the applicability and relevance of what they
are learning, then more students will succeed. It is a win-win situation
for students, employers and all of South Carolina. The graduating
class of 2011 will be the first class to have experienced all of
Personal Pathway's many benefits. During the 2009-10 school year,
an 11.6 percent reduction was seen in the number of dropouts, perhaps
largely due to programs like Personal Pathways.
An
often-overlooked key to economic recovery and reduced unemployment
is education and workforce development. The preparedness of our
future workforce is so important that the South Carolina Chamber
of Commerce makes education and workforce development part of the
Competitiveness Agenda, the business community's annual list of
legislative priorities. It's also the reason we have prepared and
adopted rigorous 2020 Education Goals. The achievement of these
goals will require continued action between business and education.
Just as businesses work with all of their suppliers, we must become
full partners with those developing our future workforce.
The
truth is that the ship is turning, but we need the help of all South
Carolinians to maintain its speed. As business leaders, we can get
to know our education communities and invite them to our workplaces.
We can offer extended learning opportunities, like apprenticeships,
for students. We can encourage employees (and ourselves) to serve
as a student mentor or tutor. And, we can tell the true story of
education in South Carolina.

Thank a
teacher

AUG.
20, 2010 – Forty years ago this month, Frances Scott’s
fourth grade class in Jesup, Ga., started a little differently than
in previous years.
Brack |
For
the first time, it was integrated. A photo from that 1970-71 year
shows 26 students in the class – 21 white and five black.
I’m
there on the first row kneeling and hands folded in lap between
9-year-olds named Herbert and Virgil, one black, another white.
On the back row at the side stands Mrs. Scott, also black, a somewhat
stout figure in a simple navy dress and shiny black dress shoes.
In the picture, I also see Joey Jackson, Douglas Shaw and Mark Wiggins,
three childhood friends who I haven’t seen since our family
moved from Jesup in 1974. Looking at the photo forces other names
to the surface -- Michael, Greg, Dawn, Joanne, Tony, Chuck, Wayne
and Christy.
Back
in July 2006, I wrote Mrs. Scott to let her know how she was the
best school teacher I ever had:
“I
want you to know how much I appreciate your compassion, kindness,
strength and warmth all of those years ago. Enclosed is a book
of columns I’ve written over the last four years in South
Carolina newspapers. Read and you’ll easily see the influence
of my parents, Elliott and Barbara. Read a little more closely
and you’ll find your influence too. While some of them are
about arcane pieces of South Carolina politics and policy, the
columns strike recurring themes of fairness, justice, tolerance,
acceptance and common sense.”
Nine
days later, Mrs. Scott, then 75, replied:
“I
looked at the envelope and said, ‘Who could be sending me
a book from South Carolina?’ So I began to open it up and
the first thing I saw at the top was ‘Andy Brack.’ I
said, ‘It can’t be. Andy from the fourth grade. Not
my fourth grade class.’ So I began to thumb through and saw
the autograph. I said, ‘It must be.’
“I
was so happy it brought tears to my eyes. You really made my week
and added another year to my life (smile). I really know that
my 37½ years of labor with children in Wayne County, plus
three of my own, was not in vain.”
With
schools across South Carolina and the country back in session now,
we need to remember – and thank – our teachers and those
of our children.
If
you really think about teachers, you realize they’re one of
the nation’s most precious resources. Every year, we entrust
those most precious to us, our children, to their care so they can
develop into educated, young citizens who eventually will lead our
cities, state and nation.
Our
teachers in public and private schools often aren’t paid enough,
work long hours and have to deal with situations (bad behavior,
kids with cell phones, lack of resources, and on and on) that interfere
with what they want to do – teach the children. Many stay up
late at night grading papers or put in long hours coaching eager
athletes on the field.
And
for all they put up with, they stick to it.
As
South Carolina embarks on another political season, we really ought
to think about how we treat teachers. We ought to pay them more
than a Southeastern average. We ought to invest better in their
lives, just as they’re investing in our children’s lives.
And we ought to recognize them for how they’ve impacted our
lives.
I’m
fortunate to have written the best teacher I ever had, Mrs. Scott,
before she passed in 2008.
“I
will cherish this book and letter,” Mrs. Scott wrote at the
end of her 2006 letter. “May God continue to bless you and
your family. Thanks for such fond memories. Overlook the shaky writing.
It is 75 years old now (smile).”
Tell
one of your former teachers how much they meant to you. Or inspire
a younger one by recognizing their hard work. You will make their
day.

S.C. historian
extends slave cabin project to Alabama
A little-known "slave alley" in downtown Anderson called
Morris Street was the most recent stop in Joe McGill's quest to
sleep in slave cabins across the South.
McGill |
Now
he's expanding his slave-cabin awareness project beyond South Carolina
to include two locations in Alabama, and launching a speaking tour
to describe his experiences.
Since May, McGill, a Civil War re-enactor and historic preservationist,
has spent the night in six dwellings scattered around South Carolina
that were once the homes of enslaved people. On Saturday, he spread
his sleeping bag in one of four tiny cabins in Anderson, believed
to be the largest slave alley left in upstate South Carolina.
The
buildings are owned by the Palmetto
Trust for Historic Preservation, a statewide organization with
an office in Columbia. The Trust is a partner with the National
Trust.
Joe
McGill, a Civil War re-enactor and historic preservationist,
slept in a slave cabin at Hobcaw Barony to make a statement
about the importance of preserving all of our history.
|
McGill's
crusade to travel the state to sleep in dwellings that were once
the homes of enslaved people is designed to bring attention to the
endangered structures. He is a program officer with the National
Trust for Historic Preservation.
McGill
has spent the night at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens and McLeod
Plantation, both near Charleston, the Heyward House in Bluffton,
Goodwill Plantation near Columbia and Hobcaw Barony near Georgetown.
The
remainder of McGill's schedule includes:
-
Mansfield Plantation, Georgetown, Sept. 25

Duke Endowment awards
$750,000 to local health collaboration
Health
care providers from throughout Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester
counties will come together Aug. 26 at 10 a.m. to announce a $750,000
grant and a comprehensive effort to provide integrated health care
to low-income uninsured people.
The
kick-off will take place at Seacoast Church's Dream Center Clinic,
5055 North Rhett Ave. in North Charleston.
The
three-year grant is from the Duke Endowment, and more than two dozen
local health care organizations are participating in the collaborative
effort.
One
hundred fifty thousand people in our three-county area - more than
20 percent of the population - lack health insurance. They postpone
routine and preventive care and bring their acute needs to hospital
emergency rooms. They are suffering unnecessarily and their care
is costing healthcare providers and insured patients 35-40 percent
of health insurance premiums by some estimates.

Trident
Tech receives grant to protect local food culture
Trident Technical College has received a $46,047 planning grant
from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to establish a
Lowcountry Foodways Project. The project will document the African,
Caribbean, English, French and Native American roots of the region's
food-related traditions.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source
of federal support for the nation's museums and libraries. The IMLS
received 62 National Leadership Collaborative Planning Grant applications
this year and made 13 awards. TTC was the only college in South
Carolina and the only two-year college in the country to receive
an award.
Rapid regional, environmental and demographic changes threaten the
cultural traditions of the Lowcountry area between Wilmington, N.C.,
and Jacksonville, Fla. TTC will partner with the Avery Research
Center for African American History and Culture to develop a fieldwork
plan to collect foodways oral histories, identify and assess relevant
archival collections of primary sources and build a database of
materials suitable for digitization in an anticipated future project.
"Everyone loves food, particularly Southerners," said
TTC librarian Laura Barfield, who will serve as the project's director.
"The Lowcountry Foodways project will be the first culinary
collection to focus exclusively on Lowcountry culinary history.
The project will culminate with an interactive digital resource
that serves the needs of both town and gown. Along with scholarly
research, community involvement is key to the success of this project
and we will tap into the food memories and collections of our most
valuable resource, the wonderful people of the Lowcountry, who have
a unique multicultural heritage that has shaped the food traditions
of this region."

Greeks brought
spirit of entrepreneurship to South Carolina
Greek
immigrants began arriving in South Carolina at the turn of the twentieth
century, seeking to escape the economic stagnation of their own
country. Their arrival in South Carolina coincided with a burst
of development in the state's economy. They quickly found a niche
in urban areas as entrepreneurs within the service sector.
Charleston's
Greek Orthodox Church, 30 Race St., is celebrating its 100th
Anniversary this year. |
Disdaining
farm or mill labor, Greeks started out as pushcart merchants. Within
a few years of their arrival, they were able to invest in storefront
businesses such as confectioneries and restaurants. The Greek-owned
restaurant was a common feature on the main street of many Carolina
cities and towns. These sandwich shops and lunch counters, usually
conspicuous by their quaint names such as the Busy Bee or the Hob
Nob Grill, offered new venues where busy New South workers could
grab a quick lunch.
Greek
entrepreneurs were able to locate their businesses in prime locations
in the white business district alongside native white-, Jewish-,
and Syrian-owned businesses; they were not segregated into a separate
district, as were the state's African American entrepreneurs and
professionals.
The
success of their businesses was sufficient inducement for Greeks
to remain in the state. Their preference for entrepreneurship, the
arrival of Greek women, and the consequent growth of families cemented
these communities into permanent settlements. Greeks did not reside
in ethnic enclaves, and by the 1930s they were well established
in middle-class suburban neighborhoods. Their children attended
white public schools and the majority graduated from college. Most
of the first and second generations followed in the pattern of entrepreneurship
or advanced into the professional class.
The
formation of permanent settlements resulted in the establishment
of Greek Orthodox churches in the state's major cities and towns.
The church became the center of Greek cultural and religious life
for the immigrants as well as for successive generations.

Creative
five
Hawkins
|
There's a lot
of talk about creativity in Charleston these days and people really
are trying to push the creative envelope, so here are five creative
things about Charleston that Ken Hawkins, co-founder and editor
of TheDigitel
Charleston, believes you may not know about.
- Food
carts and food shacks: Stop thinking of good food as relegated
to $30 plates, and you can find some palate-busting flavors from
smaller spots. Like Tokyo Crepes on Folly or the Roti Rolls moving
food vehicle that will be dishing up local meat and veggies on
Indian flatbreads.
- Independent
local storytelling: From photography to food writing, to video
and more, the sea of independent voices talking about their community
continues to grow in Charleston. One fine example is recent work
by local professional videographer Adam Boozer about the story
of Doris Dixon at Reeves & Son Shoe Repair on King Street.
See
that video.
- Pecha
Kucha: Back for its seventh installment this event is
becoming less and less underground, but it still attracts some
great local creatives and incredible storytelling. Well worth
the $5. Aug. 25.
- BarCamp
Charleston: Dubbed an "un-conference" the event
is done in ad hoc format where you pitch your idea for a presentation
(whatever it may be) to the crowd, and if folks want to see it,
you present. Last year presentations included Web tech, video
recording tips, marketing and all you need to know about bacon.
The 2nd BarCamp is slated for Nov. 13 and they're looking for
sponsor help.
- Beer:
The days of massive breweries shoving their lime-flavored concoctions
down your gullet are numbered. There's a real upswing of craft
beer consumption and knowledge in Charleston. Stop thinking of
beer as something to consume while bored and think of it as something
to be savored, like wine.
