New Jersey Department of Education

In an effort to more strategically recruit and select high-quality school leaders in the state’s Focus and Priority schools, we partnered with the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) to assess their hiring needs and identify key turnaround school leader competencies. We also conducted a national landscape analysis of promising practices in turnaround school leader recruitment/selection and made a set of recommendations for the launch of similar initiatives in New Jersey.
