ALTERNATE ROUTE |
In addition to the mentoring program, all alternate route candidates
must attend 200 hours of formal instruction at one of several sites
located throughout the state. The cost of attending these classes is
$1,300.00 for all alternate route candidates and is the responsibility
of the candidate. The formal instruction component of an alternate route
teacher's training is an integral part of the Provisional Teacher
Program and must be completed in a timely manner prior to recommendation
for a standard certificate. In addition to the formal instruction,
alternate route candidates must complete thirty-four (34) weeks of
full-time teaching in order to fulfill program requirements.
All certification questions should be referred to Mrs. Kathy Izzi, (908)
851-6425. |

MENTORING |
|
Effective September 2001, the New Jersey Department of
Education implemented a new and rigorous mentoring program for all
novice teachers. The Department of Education defines the goal of the
mentoring program as follows: |
|
 To enhance teacher
knowledge of and strategies related to the Core Curriculum Standards in
order to facilitate student achievement;
To identify exemplary
teaching skills and educational practices necessary to acquire and
maintain excellence in teaching; and
To assist novice
teachers in the performance of their duties and adjustment to the
challenge of teaching. For the 2005-2006 school year, all
first year provisional and alternate route teachers will participate in
the district's mentoring program. A mentor will be assigned to each
first year teacher, and mentor and mentee will participate in the
district's mentoring program plan. The stipend paid to the mentor will
be funded by the Department of Education if funding is available or by
the first year teacher. |
