Professional Development for School Leaders Initiative

New Jersey Professional Development Initiative for School Leaders, A Guide to Getting Started (427 kb PDF )

PowerPoint Presentation

The following PowerPoint slides were designed to accompany the document entitled: Introduction to the New Jersey Professional Development Initiative for School Leaders. The slides and introductory document are intended to be used as an overview of the professional learning requirements listed in N.J.A.C. 6A:9-16 which went into effect in September 2004. The initiative seeks to build the instructional leadership capabilities of principals, supervisors, and superintendents through a standard-based and job-embedded approach to professional growth.

The learning tools and others providing more in depth guidance will be updated through the first year of the new requirement. This first year, the 2004-05 academic year, is a "developmental year" for the initiative. The developmental year allows for training, preparation and feedback from the field prior to full implementation. This is part of the New Jersey Department of Education’s commitment to educators as we partner with the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association, the New Jersey Association of School Administrators and others to implement another meaningful, high quality professional learning component within New Jersey education.
