Inexperienced School Leader- a School Administrator that has not completed their formal evaluation process (Tier 1)
Out of Field Teacher- a teacher teaching a course or courses outside their field of certification when a certification is required for that course.
ESSA regulations require states to post on their report cards information about teachers with emergency or provisional credentials. South Carolina does not award emergency or provisional credentials, thus that metric is not listed.
