Extractions: Where Will They Go? The new federal education law named, No Child Left Behind, makes many changes in the Title I requirements. All schools receiving Title I funds must show "adequate yearly progress" by all students in all categories-including special education. Schools which fail to make adequate yearly progress face a series of defined consequences so that children are not be forced to attend low performing schools. On May 2, as required by the new federal law, the State of New Jersey released the list of 300 New Jersey school in need of improvement, based on their achievement in 1998-99 and 1999-2000. Paterson has 16 schools listed in category I, with flat achievement over the two years. In addition, Paterson has three schools in category II, with some improvement over the two years but which may be in danger of falling into category I. Schools identified as needing improvement must develop improvement plans showing programs and strategies to be adopted to improve teaching and learning. They must also provide their staffs with professional development to improve their skills.

Extractions: The leadership development grant will provide 3,400 principals and superintendents with the opportunity to understand how technology supports systemic change for effective teaching and learning. NJPSA will work cooperatively with the New Jersey Department of Education and the New Jersey Association of School Administrators to oversee the grant. The grant will enable superintendents and principals to develop, practice and share strategies, skills and processes for leading systemic change; locate and use resources that enable school leaders to help teachers integrate technology into their classrooms; gain an understanding of how technology and instructional best-use practices can improve teaching and learning; and, address long-range planning issues that include adequate professional development experiences for teachers and building technology capacity in the infrastructure of school facilities. In order to address the varying levels of skills and knowledge, seven institutes will be offered. Among the topics to be addressed through the institutes is how to plan for the $12 billion school construction program, including equipment needs based on learning goals, best practices in technology integration, and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of school curricula. In addition to the institutes, the initiative will promote sustainability of this effort through follow-up and ongoing assessment.
Extractions: The College of New Jersey is a highly selective institution that provides students with an opportunity to participate in a unique community of learners. This community calls upon its members to strive for excellence and to develop the objectivity and capacity for change. It also calls upon them to participate in service to others and exhibit a respect for and appreciation of others. Chartered in 1855 as the New Jersey Normal School, TCNJ is the oldest of the state's public colleges. The College offers more than forty liberal arts and professional programs through the college's seven schools: Art, Media, and Music; Business; Culture and Society; Education; Engineering; Nursing and Science. The College serves approximately 6,000 undergraduate students, 95% of whom are New Jersey residents. The School of Nursing Established in 1966, the School of Nursing consists of the Division of Professional Nursing Education and Practice (undergraduate) and the Division of Advanced Professional Nursing Education and Practice (graduate). All nursing courses are taught by well-qualified faculty who are experienced and proficient in scientific foundations and clinical applications of nursing. State-of-the-art professional instruction emphasizes that nursing is centered on caring for people. The curriculum reflects this emphasis in clinical nursing practice courses that begin in the sophomore year and become increasingly complex. Students work with children, adults, childbearing families, and the elderly in a variety of settings including acute care hospitals, using sophisticated technology and community agencies dealing with individual, family and community health care needs. Outstanding opportunities to gain valuable clinical experience are available because of excellent relationships with area hospitals, mental health clinics, nursing homes, home health care agencies, schools, and senior citizen centers.

ICPrize supports ICONnect's purpose: to position school library media specialists and school library media centers as the electronic information connection in the school. The stories below show how collaboration with a librarian can increase a teacher's success in enabling student learning and innovative student production. The catalyst for each situation was the awareness of an award, and in both cases a well prepared, professionally tuned-in librarian was able to help an English teacher take advantage of these serendipitous events and add value to the students' study of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

"All of the education foundations in central New Jersey will benefit from this partnership. We are so thankful to ETS for hosting our inaugural meeting," said Diane Senerth, Executive Director of the Lawrence Township Education Foundation. "Without their support, our group may not have come together so quickly. This kind of inter-community cooperation is difficult to establish, but has enormous potential for public education throughout the region." Attending the meeting were representatives for education foundations from East Windsor, Ewing, Hamilton, Hopewell Valley, Lambertville/South Hunterdon, Lawrenceville, Montgomery, Princeton, Trenton and West Windsor. Also attending were representatives of ETS. The meeting included panel discussions on board membership and foundation relationships with schools, businesses and communities.

Extractions: Graphic version of this page. Skip main page content to go to site map. PRINCETON, NJ, (Jan. 14, 2003) - The New Jersey Department of Education has awarded ETS a four-year, $35 million contract to oversee the development and administration of reading and math tests for more than 200,000 New Jersey third- and fourth-grade students. "I am extremely proud that we won this contract," said Kurt Landgraf, President and CEO of ETS. "It is especially meaningful to win such a significant project from our home state. We look forward to working with Governor McGreevey and Commissioner of Education Librera to ensure our tests meet New Jersey's needs and thank them for entrusting this important task to ETS." The New Jersey contract is the third testing program ETS will manage to help states and territories comply with their requirements under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, after those in California and Puerto Rico. In addition, ETS is a test-development subcontractor to NCS Pearson for K-12 testing programs in Georgia and Florida. ETS also has won a high-school testing contract with Maryland. "We've earned a lot of new business in the last two years, and every one of those contracts has been hard-won and gratifying," said John Oswald, Vice President of ETS's K-12 Assessments Division, which prepared the bid. "This project is yet another confirmation of our central place in the K-12 market, and it is another step toward our goal of becoming the leader in that market."
