The holiday season is now upon us. There is a crisp chill in the air. The first marking period is over. As you continue into the school year, the Department would like to keep you apprised of any new or changing information. For example, did you know that the General Education Development (GED) system has been modified? Read on to learn more about the changes.
In response to proposed regulations to the State Board to increase the bar for entry to the teaching profession in New Jersey, the Department has posted Frequently Asked Questions which you will find included.
The Department continues to provide updates on AchieveNJ. Additional information is included in this newsletter as well as information on Professional Development Planning for Teachers.
As teachers across the state implement the Common Core State Standards, the Department has launched a new website, the New Jersey Educator Resource Exchange Website, to provide tools and instructional materials to educators at all grades.
In case you were unaware, the New Jersey Career Assistance Navigator (www.NJCAN.org) is a website available to all districts and students in the state of New Jersey. Website users can create a talent and interest profile by registering on the site and completing activities that allow for self-reflection and increased college/career knowledge. Read on to find out more.
Congratulations goes to Robert O’Donnell, an outstanding Jersey City educator, who received an unrestricted $25,000 Milken Educator Award at a surprise school-wide assembly on October 9, 2013. Robert teaches sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade science at Christa McAuliffe School #28 in the Jersey City School District.
Speaking of outstanding educators, there is a call for nominations for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST).
And don’t forget to check out the Professional Development information.
