Who Are We?

SCADE’s purpose is to help prepare South Carolina residents to succeed in college and beyond.

How? We seek to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and resources of developmental education faculty and administrators by helping them communicate with similar professionals in the state and nation; promoting professional development, curriculum design, and research activities; providing information about exemplary materials, trends, issues, and opportunities; and sponsoring state, regional, and local conferences and workshops.
