By CNBNews Staff

 

BROOKLAWN, NJ (December 23, 2018)--On Friday, December 21, 2018 the Alice Costello Elementary School's gymnasium was transformed into Who-ville just in time for the holidays.

GUEST OPINION: IT’S TIME TO ADD VALUE TO NEW JERSEY TEACHER EVALUATIONS

JOHN KELLMAYER | NOVEMBER 15, 2018

 

The current system of evaluating teachers in the Garden State all but ignores an extremely important, if controversial, tool 

I was a New Jersey school principal and district superintendent for more than 25 years. I estimate that I did more than 2,000 formal teacher observations. The process by which New Jersey teachers are evaluated has changed dramatically in the last several years. However, this process is seriously flawed and occasionally has been politically motivated.

A recent report by the New Teacher Project that examined the performance of thousands of teachers and administrators in 12 districts and four states found that less than 1 percent received an unsatisfactory rating. Former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan sarcastically remarked, “Today in our country 99 percent of our teachers are above average.”

Letters to the Editor: Why I Opted Out of the NJEA

Dear Friend,

Last month I decided to opt out of the NJEA. I did so because I felt it was the only way my voice could be heard.

I am a good teacher, who passionately believes in public education and supporting public school teachers at all costs. I support my local union - the Monmouth County Education Association - which has used their very tiny slice of the union dues pie to educate and empower their membership through in-service training, terrific workshops and community outreach programs. The Monmouth County Education Association does so much with so little and uses its meager allotment to do good for its members.

I wish this was also the case for our NJEA state leadership - but frankly, it is not.

How to Land Your First Job After College

  CNBNews graphics file

(CNBNewsnet)(September 4, 2018)--University is meant to prepare you for the job you’ve always dreamed of, but today a degree alone is not enough. Many top employers want candidates to have had real work experience, meaning that the new college experience needs to include internships throughout the four years of your Bachelors. Regardless of whether you prioritized interning during your college career or not, you can land your first job after college by following this guide:

Use Your University Services Before You Go

Go to careers services and have them help you draft your resume and practice your interview skills. They are an invaluable resource that can help give you a leg up when applying for first job. A great resume can get you in the door, and a great interview can land you the position, but first you need to practice and refine these job-seeking tools.

9 Tips for Surviving Life as a Working Parent

 

(CNBNewsnet)(August 23, 2018)--It goes without saying that being a working parent is extremely challenging; long gone are the days when you could just get home from work, throw on some comfortable clothes, and relax in front of the television with a glass of wine. Nowadays, you are somehow expected to balance doing well in your career, and spending enough quality time with your family when you get home, all while fighting off exhaustion and running a household. Finding ways to fit in everything that you need to do into each day can seem like an impossibility, but luckily there are some things that you can do to make the task of balancing work and home life a little bit easier to manage; here are nine simple tips to help you survive life as a working parent.

Make lists

As a working parent, your to-do list is second to none, and with a million different tasks running about your mind at full speed you are bound to forget things from time to time (usually the most important things). Therefore, one of the best things you can do for your own peace of mind is to write everything down. Carry a small diary or notebook around with you in your bag, so that whenever something new pops up that you don’t want to forget, you can jot it down in your book. Then, when you get home, make sure to add all the items from the day into an organized to-do list (preferably prioritized), and cross of items when you complete them so that you don’t get confused.

Great Ways of Helping Students Believe in Themselves

by CNBNews staff

 

(CNBNewsnet)(May 16, 2018)--Teachers, coaches, tutors and parents have the important obligation to bring up students who can positively shape their future as early as now. It is quite disturbing to see students who have small ambitions, yet their potential looks way bigger than this. According to a popular high school principal, any student who can successfully gather research material from El Rincón del Vago Magazine for an appealing paper has great potential and should be nurtured.

Maslow’s Hierarchy has come a long way in helping psychology and sociology research to understand people. If it is applied in our schools, then tutors will understand their students better and be in a position to help them believe in themselves. Maslow’s Hierarchy also suggests that people who want to reach their highest potential must have a high self-esteem. That said, teachers can help students believe in themselves through the following ways.

The Tide pod challenge

1. It started as a spoof and then went viral in one of the most baffling social media trends of 2017: teens posting memes and videos of themselves pretending to gorge on laundry detergent pods by stuffing them in their mouths and chewing them up. Tide Pods have been a concern for consumer protection groups since their release in 2012, and for good reason: most of the reported cases of ingestion have involved young kids or older adults with dementia mistaking the colorful plastic-coated packets for something edible.
