ADVISORY:
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.

The Reggio Emilia Approach:
A Panel on the U.S. School System's Response to an Italian Educational Method
Tuesday March 15, 2016 - 6.30-8.30pm
Feliciano School of Business Auditorium, Room 101
Co-Sponsored by the Dept. of Early Childhood, Elementary and Literacy Education
and Dr. Teresa Fiore from the Italian and Italian American Department
RSVP required here by Fri. March 11, 2016
This program grants Professional Development credit hours

The Reggio Emilia Approach is an educational philosophy focused on infant-toddler, preschoolers and now also primary school children. It was developed in Italy by the visionary teacher Loris Malaguzzi (1920-94) and the parents of the villages around Reggio Emilia after World War II.
The program is based on the support of the potentials of children, as well as the principles of respect, responsibility, and community. Learning takes place through exploration and discovery in a supportive and enriching environment based on the interests of the children as observed, documented and sustained by the teachers. The assumption that animates the approach is that the children are knowledge-makers; that their learning is an autonomous process that occurs inside the social environment created together by educators, children, and their families; and that this takes place through dialogue and exchange made visible by documentation of practices.
The Reggio Emilia Approach identifies in creativity a way to produce and convey knowledge, as well as a tool for the children to express and build their personal and shared learning through their "hundred languages," as Malaguzzi defined the children's plurality of views and infinite potential for searching and being surprised.
This panel will explore the Reggio Emilia Approach, its history and growth in Italy, as well as its use in the U.S. school system, through presentations that embrace the perspectives of scholars, teachers, school directors, and parents.
Some of the questions that this panel will address include:
- What is the role of the Italian cultural legacy in the Reggio approach today? How has the approach evolved from its local beginnings in a relatively small Italian town to its international diffusion today?
- How can the Reggio approach be useful in the specific context of U.S. families’ lives, where full-time working parents may not have the time to be as involved as this approach expects?
- How can the Reggio approach respond to the needs of special education children in the U.S. system?

Saturday, February 2, 2019, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

The youngest victims of the Holocaust (1939-1945) boldly chronicled their
unspeakable hardships through their original melodies and poems while interned
in ghettos and concentration camps. It is up to us to inspire our students to
strive for social justice by learning the stories, prose and music of Hitler’s
must vulnerable prisoners. Dr. Freeman will provide pedagogical strategies
and lesson plans that weave together citizenship, English, social studies and
archival Holocaust music.

The Critical Urban Education (CUE) Speaker Series is a bi-annual event bringing leading national scholars to Montclair State University. Open to all community members, CUE provides a forum to develop attendees' racial and political analysis through a series of lectures and workshops focused on social and cultural issues influencing urban schools and communities.
The summit will kick off with a performance by Newark elementary school students, local youth spoken word poets and DJ Justis. The keynote, The Racialization and Reimagination of Teachers of Color: Resisting Pushout from K-12 Schools, will be delivered by Rita Kohli, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of California-Riverside. Even teaching in predominantly student of Color spaces, teachers of Color are often minoritized professionally. Building on the narratives of justice-oriented teachers of Color, this talk will shed light on racialized struggles of working in a predominantly White profession, the toll it can take on their mental, emotional and physical well being, and how it can lead to pushout from the profession. Kohli will also outline the strategies teachers of Color have used to collectively cope, heal from, and resist racism; thus, reclaiming their deserved place as educators in K-12 schools.
Following a communal lunch, participants will have the opportunity to attend two rounds of workshops lead by urban education scholars. Topics will include: ethnic studies; trauma and healing; supporting teachers of color; social justice STEM, Teaching with Hip hop and spoken word and teaching critical theory. The day will close with an opportunity for reflection, networking and the return of DJ Justis.

Too often in these days, words like "humanities" and "languages" are associated with the word "crisis." Yet, it is by looking at innovation in the field of education that we can identify new paths to attach renewed meaning to these disciplines. Such innovation rests on synergies across education levels, disciplines, and public and private entities.
Join us on Thur Nov. 15 at 4pm for a roundtable of educators, representatives of organizations and governmental offices, as well as students, to learn about new summer projects launched two years ago in Italian in order to respond to the current challenges -- an intensive on campus course for high school students and two internships (in Business and Translation) with an international component. We are truly pleased that MLA (Modern Languages Association) Executive Director, Paula Krebs, will give the introductory speech to place these efforts in the larger context of innovative initiatives in education.
Once again, Italian functions as a use case to illustrate projects that can be adopted in many different directions as part of collaborations. While geared towards people active in the humanities to address issues of enrollment, retention, outreach, and employment opportunities, the program aims at reaching a broad and mixed audience since education is at the core of any social and economic endeavor.
RSVP Required By Nov. 13th
