Educators from across the state participated today in New Jersey’s 2026 Teacher Climate & Culture Institute. Dubbed From Insight to Implementation, the day was marked by district-to-district conversations spotlighting the good work being done in the areas designed to support teacher retention and growth.

Educators from across the state gathered for a full day of collaboration, learning, and practical strategies to strengthen school climate, reduce daily burdens, and elevate teacher leadership. Educators from across the state presented 16 individual professional development "Insight" sessions in the morning on the following topics:
• Strategies aimed at reducing the daily administrative burden on educators
• Leveraging teacher leadership
• Increasing teacher efficacy and growth
• Leveraging Artificial Intelligence

Commissioner Lily Laux opened the afternoon of the Institute with remarks underscoring NJDOE’s commitment to improving the day-to-day experience of teaching. Finally, keynote speaker Tony Cattani, the 2025–2026 National High School Principal of the Year, helped participants in turning ideas into actionable next steps.

The Institute reflects NJDOE’s continued commitment to empowering educators and strengthening school culture.

The Sherrill Administration and NJDOE are launching a statewide, stakeholder driven effort to overhaul New Jersey’s school funding system and strengthen opportunity for every student. This initiative advances Governor Sherrill’s commitment to ensuring that all students — regardless of ZIP code — have access to an excellent education and the opportunities that come with it. As districts face rising costs and evolving needs, this outreach will help build a shared understanding of how school funding works today and identify ways to make the system more predictable, transparent, accountable, and responsive to student needs.

The NJDOE will bring together families, educators, students, school leaders, legislators, advocates, community partners, and taxpayers for statewide conversations about high quality education, cost pressures, pathways to success, and long-term stability. Today marks the launch of the first installment of the NJDOE’s School Finance Learning Series, designed to explain school funding in plain language, with additional sessions and updates to follow.
