Teachers are perhaps the most critical component of an effective academic program. Our teachers are selected first for their desire to love God and love others, as well as for the calling to teach that God has placed in their hearts. Their faith, background, education, personalities, and responsibilities all work together to seed the learning environment in each classroom. It is important to know that the teachers responsible for learning are qualified, prepared, and equipped to ensure academic success in their individual classrooms and content areas. SCS teachers are degreed and maintain certification through Iowa Board of Educational Examiners (IBOEE) and complete continuing education requirements to ensure that up-to-date and research based strategies are continually being implemented in our instructional program. Teachers are held accountable through a continual process of self assessment, observation, and continuous school improvement.
