New Jersey school districts must annually certify to the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) that they are complying with the state’s requirements for the school district professional development plan (PDP) as set forth in New Jersey Administrative Code (N.J.A.C. 6A: 9C-4.2(b)6).

Within the Teaneck School District, planning for the district's professional development requires close analysis of achievement data, review of qualitative and quantitative data sets, and robust discussions among the district's stakeholders. The school district professional development plan provides information on both school-level and districtwide professional learning opportunities, the resources being allocated toward their support, and a justification for the expenditures pursuant to 6A:9C-4.1(c).  To review the district's professional development plan for the 2023-2024 school year, please click below.
