Synopsis of Services Publications Resources Selected Articles from School Leader Labor Lookout By Curt Wary Director, Labor Relations The Continuing Education Requirements: Now In Effect After much debate, controversy and several delays, the state's continuing education requirements went into effect in September. Teachers and other instructional personnel are now required to complete 100 clock hours of state-approved professional development in the next five years and then, every five years thereafter. With the commencement of this new requirement, it is appropriate to provide boards with an update and advice to deal with the months ahead. What Counts Any discussion of "what counts" toward satisfying the 100-hour requirement must first focus on the teacher's professional improvement plan (PIP). The continuing education code adopted by the state Board of Education in May 1998 states that the contents of teachers' continuing education plans must be specified in their PIP, developed as part of the annual evaluation. While the process of developing the PIP should be done collaboratively between the teacher and the supervisor, in the event of a disagreement, the supervisor retains the final approval over the content of the PIP. This final administrative approval right was reemphasized by the commissioner of education this spring. A teacher's continuing education may include in-service programs, formal coursework, and conferences sponsored by entities approved by the commissioner of education. These entities, or providers, must register with the Department of Education and include colleges, professional associations, training organizations and boards of education. Boards are automatically registered as training providers for their own staff. However, if the district intends to sponsor training for other teachers, it must register separately.

Becoming a High Schools That Work State or Site How a state can join How a school can join in a HSTW state How a school can join in a non- HSTW state How does a state become a member of High Schools That Work? The number of High Schools That Work states has increased from 13 in 1987 to 27 in 2001. They are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. When a state joins HSTW , it becomes part of a consortium comprising SREB and the member states. This consortium is dedicated to getting at least 85 percent of career-bound high school students to complete a challenging program of study and to reach or exceed the HSTW performance goals in reading, mathematics and science. The intent is to prepare students for productive careers and further learning. High Schools That Work represents a cost-effective way for states to join SREB and other states in offering high schools a proven framework of goals and key practices for raising student achievement. The consortium meets three times annually to discuss progress in improving student achievement and to address issues of leadership, staff development, technical assistance and accountability. SREB and the states are partners in delivering services to member schools and in encouraging policy-makers to enact needed legislation and policies to improve high schools for all students. States sign a memorandum of understanding with SREB and agree to assume certain responsibilities associated with maintaining and developing a state network of school-improvement sites.

28. The Schumann Fund For New Jersey - About Us professional development for early childhood teaching staff; collected new increasedphilanthropic investment in early childhood education in new jersey. http://fdncenter.org/grantmaker/schumann/about.html

Even before September 11, the year 2001 was one of dramatic change and upheaval. New leadership in Washington and in Trenton, heightened economic pressure on working families and families striving to make the transition from welfare to work, and continued turmoil in the financial markets, all contributed to greater demands on the not-for-profit organizations the Schumann Fund supports. During the last quarter of the year, the Schumann Fund trustees analyzed our grant guidelines and portfolio, and concluded that this was the time to stay the course, to continue to work to improve early childhood education, promote school innovation to enhance student achievement and to restore and protect New Jersey's environment. By doing so, we hope to contribute to the long-term well being of our state and its citizens. Recognizing that many of the organizations we support were facing unprecedented demands for their services and expertise, and that many donors had diverted funds to meet the emergency created by 9/11, we made a commitment to maintain our grantmaking budget at last year's historic high, despite the decline in the value of our corpus. At the same time, we took a careful look at the impact our work has had during the past five years. In the recent past, we have focused a great deal of our attention, staff time and new grants on early childhood education. We have done so because we recognize that it is more cost effective, and wiser, to invest in prevention rather than remediation. We are persuaded by the research, and by our own experience, that investments in high-quality, well-planned early childhood education and family support help children enter school ready to succeed, and help eliminate the achievement gap between poor children and their wealthier peers.

Dodge Foundation awards grant for University's excellent teacher preparation program The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation recently awarded Montclair State University a grant in recognition of its excellent and innovative training programs for New Jersey public school teachers. The two-year grant is for the Team Approach to Professional Development Program for advanced professional development of New Jersey public school teachers. "We believe this project is an example of excellent staff development that results in a positive impact on schools, as well as students, while sustaining quality teachers in the profession," said Dodge Foundation Executive Director David Grant. Montclair State President Susan A. Cole said the Foundation frequently cites the College of Education and Human Services as the model for working with teachers to improve and renew teaching and learning in New Jersey. "We are honored that the Dodge Foundation is so clearly validating our wonderful array of teacher education programs," she said. Grant praised the New Jersey Network for Education Renewal (NJNER) , a 14-year-old school-university partnership between Montclair State and 23 school districts. "It is a school/university partnership that represents what research-based professional development looks like in practice," he said. "All the characteristics of high-quality staff development are in place and support the conceptualization of this outstanding program."

2002 New Jersey Animal Assistance Program Man's relationship with companion animals has always been unique. This partnership has provided us with companionship and loyalty during times of need. This was nowhere more apparent than in New York City's "Ground Zero." Dogs were employed with their partners to aid in the search for victims, and also provided comfort to families during this crisis. We salute all the rescue workers and their dogs, and hope that our work honors the importance of the human-animal bond. In an effort to advance the humane treatment of animals, the New Jersey Animal Assistance Program provides funds to organizations that work diligently to reduce euthanasia, supply a temporary and safe haven for unwanted animals, and teach children to be kind to all living beings. In the past, the Foundation’s guidelines regarding size of grants were based on whether groups had been previously funded. This year we will consider a range of requested amounts from all groups, old or new, but we ask that your funding request be based on the size and operating budget of your organization and on a need that is commensurate with those characteristics. We anticipate that larger requests for funds will be for capital expenditures.

Purchasing through Compaq's education contract with the State of New Jersey, the five school districts combined are spending more than $12 million on IT infrastructure upgrades.

"Compaq has worked hard over the past five years to build strong relationships with the school districts in New Jersey and we're seeing strong, growing momentum," said George Warren, Compaq director of K-12 education markets.
