The APEC Center at Columbia College welcomes the second cohort of APEC Fellows from Richland School District One, Richland School District Two, Fairfield County Schools and Lexington School District Four. A Center of Excellence in Alternative Certification awarded by the Commission on Higher Education, APEC prepares instructional assistants in partner districts with the content and pedagogy needed to be successful as a classroom teacher while completing a job-embedded teacher residency. Support from Colonial Life allowed the program to expand into Richland 2 and Lexington Four for the 2019-2020 school year.
