Reports: Teacher Test Discarded but Problems Remain

‘As a next step, we must look to eliminate additional barriers to entrance that have been placed upon educators by past administrations.’

NJASA Staff Recruitment and Retention Ad Hoc Committee Co-Chair

Dr. David Aderhold, Chief Education Officer

West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District

With schools seeing a shortage of teachers and a slowing in the pipeline of those who want to teach, New Jersey’s controversial entrance test for new teachers was seen by many as only making matters worse.

Enacted six years ago, the intensive video-based test known as the edTPA was onerous — and expensive — for aspiring teachers.

The programming runs late September-to-May and features professional learnings on equity, inclusion and belonging, gender identity, mental health issues, student support, and supporting immigrant & newcomer students.

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) strives to recognize educators who have gone above and beyond in their service to New Jersey’s students. Over the past two and a half years, educators changed the way they delivered instruction to New Jersey’s 1.4 million students. Now, more than ever before, is the time to celebrate New Jersey’s outstanding educators. Therefore, every school in every district is encouraged to participate in the Governor’s Educator of the Year program to honor the hardworking teachers and educational services professionals for their dedication to their students and the profession.
