In this session, learn how an innovative STEAM program can be accomplished even when space and funds are limited. A case study involving the Wyckoff School District will be presented.

Streamlining the Student Growth Objectives Process with an Integrated Student Information System
This session will include a discussion of a student growth objectives (SGO) software solution that saves times and reduces paperwork so districts can focus on the hard work of designing quality goals and tracking student data. Participants will learn how the tool permits teachers to enter SGOs on forms modeled after those created by the state. The screens accommodate simple or tiered goals, allow a choice of a scoring plan, and permit districts to manage approval electronically and track changes. SGOs can even be archived into a personal library that is maintained by a supervisor and curated according to district or school goals.

What Boards Can Do about Poorly Performing Tenured Teachers and Principals
When the performance of a tenured teacher or principal has been rated as less than effective for two consecutive school years, the TEACHNJ Act requires boards of education to certify a tenure charge of inefficiency against the employee. An attorney who has handled many such charges in recent years will look at issues that must be addressed in the charge, how settlement of the charge can be reached, how arbitrators are handling inefficiency hearings, and related issues.
