"The Teacher Cadet Program began as a pilot project in 1985 in South Carolina...The successful pilot program attracted 28 high schools and 15 colleges in 1986-1987. Teachers and college faculty members worked together to develop curriculum materials in keeping with a broad outline prescribed by the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement (formerly known as the South Carolina Center for Teacher Recruitment), the program's sponsor..."

"In South Carolina, the Teacher Cadet Program has 54 high schools in 1987-1988 to over 170 high schools in 2009-2010. In addition, the network currently includes 21 college partners who provide support services and college credit for most of the high schools. The Teacher Cadet Program has grown not only within the state of South Carolina, but has been adopted in 34 states to date as well" (**Preface to the Tenth Edition //Experiencing Education// 2010)**.
