Join us to learn how schools can participate in the new Sustainable Jersey for Schools Digital Schools program. The program builds on the legacy of the Future Ready Schools - New Jersey (FRS-NJ) program, which ceased operations in 2019, by integrating FRS-NJ topical areas and content into the Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification program, which the original FRS-NJ program was modeled after.
We’ll review the new slate of Sustainable Jersey for Schools Actions that encompass the former FRS-NJ indicators and discuss the Digital Schools recognition process for SJS certified schools, FRS-NJ certified schools, as well as all other New Jersey public schools. The first certification cycle for recognition as a Digital School within the Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification program begins on January 15, 2021.

The New Jersey Department of Education has released the Educator Preparation Provider Performance Reports (NJ PREP) to provide transparent data on teacher preparation providers. This presentation will provide an overview of the NJ PREP and offer suggestions for uses of the reports for school boards, school and district leaders and hiring entities.
The Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) provide reports on New Jersey public school teachers and their performance and persistence data to the institution where the teachers were trained. These reports include information on Certification and Licensure, Hiring and Persistence, School Placement and Classroom Assignment, Post-Secondary Education, and AchieveNJ Evaluation for program completers. The purpose of the reports is to promote continuous improvement and supply hiring entities and perspective educators with data about EPPs and their graduates.
