Program Description: The purpose of the Center of Pedagogy Leadership Associates Program is to work toward developing a critical mass of leaders from the public schools, from the arts and sciences, and from teacher education who understand and are committed to the goals of simultaneous renewal of schools and to the education of educators.
Leadership Associates will work to deepen their understanding of the moral dimensions of teaching—stewardship, access, nurturing pedagogy, and democracy—and to collaborate with P-12 faculty and administrators and university education and arts/science faculty toward the renewal of schools and the preparation of educators. We will examine our roles in our respective institutions to become more effective agents for change, and propose and undertake an inquiry project to work towards these ends.
The Leadership Associates program will be held from July 10-14, 2017 on the campus of Montclair State University. Applications are now available for the 2017 program.
The compensation for full participation in the program during the summer and academic year will be $600 per participant. In addition, all educational materials and food (light breakfast and full lunch) will be provided.
Participants will be selected for the program by a screening committee and great efforts will be made to achieve a balance among faculty and administrators from the university and the public schools. Every attempt will be made to achieve as wide a district representation as possible. Administrator/teacher teams are encouraged to apply.
To apply, please complete and submit the following online application:

NJ Department of Education Seeks Public Input on Implementation of ESSA, the Every Student Succeeds Act For Immediate Release
Contact: Michael Yaple
David Saenz Date: September 2, 2016
609-292-1126
Trenton, NJ - The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is seeking input from all members of our school communities about how New Jersey will implement provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). As one of many ways it will engage with the public over the next few months, the NJDOE will host four regional listening sessions in September.
ESSA is the latest version of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which is the 1965 federal law designed to ensure equal educational opportunities and access for all students. The law is periodically reauthorized, or amended-in 2002 with the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), and again in December of 2015 with the passage of ESSA. The federal law applies to states and school districts, and includes requirements about how the NJDOE must report information about its schools, assess school performance, and determine which schools need additional support to meet students' needs. The law also establishes how federal funding authorized in the law (over $20 billion annually) is distributed to states and school districts. At the four public sessions, the NJDOE will provide an overview of provisions of the new law, the timeline for developing the state ESSA plan and then allow an opportunity for public comment.
The public sessions will be held at the following times and locations:
Additional information and the opportunity to participate in an online survey is provided on the NJDOE's ESSA webpage. Individuals can contact the NJDOE with questions and comments through an online contact form or by emailing ESSA@doe.state.nj.us.
