NBOE Teacher Talk

School Leadership Council (SLC) and Subcommittee Updates (New)

In September, we hosted a joint briefing of all Principals and SLC Chairpersons to review the research that supports the collaborative work highlighted in the new NTU Contract.

While Rutgers is leading this work with us, 16 schools, identified as Cohort 1, will be the first set of schools where the entire SLC will undergo extensive training.

All other schools are required to ensure that their SLCs are fully functional and will undergo the same SLC training as Cohort 1 later in the year.

As it relates to the five subcommittees, the NTU created a process for you to apply here.

Message from the Superintendent

Dear Teachers and Instructional Staff,

I am honored and proud to congratulate the following Students, Schools, Teachers, Departments, and Staff for these culminating celebrations and accomplishments:

Dear Teachers and Instructional Staff,

With the purpose of ensuring aligned systems and supporting reciprocal partnerships, District staff have connected with families about Marking Period 2 Report Cards and Parent/Teacher Conferences through an extension of the Give Me 5 Campaign. We look forward to a strong parent turnout at Parent/Teacher Conferences on Thursday, February 15, 2024. As you know, parental and family involvement are key levers for student success. We thank you for partnering with parents and engaging them in your classroom and school community, as you nurture these important relationships.

Have a great week of teaching and learning!

Sincerely,
Superintendent León
