You do not want to miss the fall issue of School Leader, which drills down into a variety of topics to help board of education members, school administrators and other stakeholders advance the education of children.
The cover story highlights the value of work-based learning and how incorporating it into instruction can serve as an opportunity for all students.
Dr. Christopher J. Nagy, a retired superintendent from the Burlington County Institute of Technology and Burlington County Special Services School District and now the founder and president of Nagy Education Group, interviewed numerous school administrators for the article.
“(W)hat should schools be doing, creating or upgrading to meet this challenge for students graduating from high school or post-secondary programs?” he writes – and then he proceeds to tackle that question, sharing a host of insights.
Kimberly A. Gatti, director of policy at the New Jersey School Boards Association; and Gina Cuciti, the Association’s policy manager, contributed an article exploring how board members can avoid the pitfalls associated with using social media.
Other features highlight school regionalization, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association and its requirement that all member schools adopt a spectator code of conduct, a feature highlighting the NJSBA’s and ASAH’s Innovations in Special Education Award winners and more.
Plus, the issue includes all the regular features readers have grown to love, including an inspiring message of nonpartisanship from Dr. Timothy Purnell, the Association’s executive director and CEO; and a message from President Karen Cortellino, M.D., who looks back at the goals she’s accomplished and her continuing work.
