Section 6A:9-3.1 - Purpose

(a) The Professional Standards for Teachers and the Professional Standards for School Leaders set forth at N.J.A.C. 6A:9-3.3 and 3.4, respectively, shall be used in the approval of educator preparation programs, recommendation of candidates for a certificate, induction, educator evaluation, and the approval of professional development.

(b) The level of mastery of the Professional Standards for Teachers and the Professional Standards for School Leaders shall be on a continuum from pre-service and novice through veteran educator.

(c) The purpose of the Professional Standards for Teachers and the Professional Standards for School Leaders is to ensure that teachers and leaders have a comprehensive understanding of their own frames of reference and their impact on expectations for, and relationships with, students and their families. The standards are grounded in the assumption that all students bring to their learning varying experiences, abilities, talents, and prior learning, as well as language, culture, and family and community values that are assets that can be used to promote student learning.
