teacher tenure

Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration significantly scaled back how much of a teacher’s annual evaluation is tied to student improvement on standardized exams.

The full Assembly voted Thursday to stop evaluating teachers in part on the progress their students make in standardized test scores.

Lawmakers look to abolish, or at least limit, the use of students’ scores on standardized tests in evaluating teachers – a key provision of the 2012 tenure reforms.

The governor also called the state's teacher's union, the NJEA, the "Corleones."

On Thursday, State Sen. Joe Kyrillos (R-Middletown) is expected to reintroduce his teacher tenure overhaul legislation.

A new statewide system for evaluating teachers and principals is set to launch next year.

A New Jersey teacher caught running naked through an apartment complex is the first to lose his job under a speedier new tenure law.

Yesterday the Governor, in the presence of some of his most vicious adversaries signed a tenure reform bill into law that is, at best, a compromise. The “good”: new teachers will have to wait 4 years to achieve tenure after undergoing yearly evaluations...

Now that teacher tenure reform has become law in the Garden state, Governor Christie says he'll focus on tax reform for the remainder of 2012.

For years, Governor Christie has been feuding with the NJEA, but at least for a day, he's buried the hatchet.
