NJSBA is excited to announce a new Data Report Generator which allows members to select the desired parameters of teacher’s settlement and teacher’s salary guide data collected throughout the year with the ability to download that selection into a spreadsheet and/or report. Learn about the different criteria you can utilize when making data comparisons, current teacher settlement and salary guide trends, what is available in the newly designed Negotiations Data Portal page, and a demonstration on how to use the new system to run your desired reports.

Tanisha Davis, director of the Office of Recruitment, Preparation and Certification will provide an update regarding the New Jersey Department of Education’s initiatives designed to strengthen the educator pipeline, increase educator diversity, and maintain educator quality. Ms. Davis will share lessons learned and promising practices that are happening throughout the state to address the educator shortage and diversify the educator workforce.

This session provides information on using comparative data at the bargaining table; how to produce meaningful comparisons utilizing additional criteria; guidance on when and how to use the data; and points you to resources to help with your research. Current trends in teacher contract settlements will also be presented.
