The
Professional Standards and Learning unit supports the work required
to implement the New Jersey Professional Standards
for teachers and school leaders and other state and federal educator
quality initiatives. The New Jersey Professional Standards, adopted
by the State Board of Education in December 2003, provide a clear
vision of the knowledge, performance and dispositions that teachers
and school leaders need to support student learning and achievement
of the revised Core Curriculum Content Standards.
The Professional Standards and Learning unit has
responsibility for supporting teacher and school leader quality
initiatives including:
- Professional
Development for Teachers and the work of the Professional
Teaching Standards Board (PTSB);
- Professional
Development for School Leaders and the work of the
School Leader Professional Development Advisory Committee;
- The
State Action for Education Leadership Project (SAELP)
that strengthens the focus on instructional leadership;
- The
National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS)
subsidy and support program;
- The
Teacher Mentor and Induction Support
and Training Program; and
- The
Highly Qualified Teacher Initiative under NCLB.
