ProTeam Overview

The ProTeam Program aims to interest middle school students in the education profession before they become "turned off" to the possibility of a career in teaching. Positive learning experiences and role models are essential to the Program's success.
Piloted in twenty middle schools in 1989-90, the ProTeam Program has served more than 22,000 South Carolina students since its inception. CERRA continues to see a resurgence of interest in the ProTeam Program as middle schools increasingly recognize the importance of expanding the pool of available teachers for the future. During the 2019-20 school year, 1,571 students completed the Program, which was offered in 45 South Carolina middle schools.
The number of ProTeam students has grown by nearly 950 students since 2014-15, and the number of sites has more than doubled during this time. Furthermore, the ProTeam curriculum has now been implemented in seven other states. CERRA’s marketing efforts continue to focus on high need schools, and CERRA continues to analyze data to determine the long-term effectiveness of the ProTeam Program in attracting males and minorities into the education profession.

The 9th Edition of the ProTeam DreamQuest Curriculum has been aligned to the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. Each module is aligned to a specific competency from the Profile. We at CERRA worked alongside members of the Personalized Learning Team at the SC Department of Education to create this alignment. We feel that this added component is essential to the success of the program.
