Newark Teachers Union member Michael Iovino, an AFTNJ PreK-12 vice president, was one of the task force members.

“Overall, this committee did incredible work producing a 130-plus page document that included relevant research to support its findings,” said Iovino, who teaches at Technology High School. “The work produced is a fantastic treatise, and I expect changes to be announced as a result of it as soon as the legislative bodies begin to review the document and its recommendations.”

“AFTNJ commends the work of the New Jersey Educator Evaluation Review Task Force,” said AFTNJ President Jennifer S. Higgins. “Based on feedback received from our members over the years, we agree with the task force’s conclusion that student growth objectives have little, if any, educational value. We also applaud their recommendations on how to move forward toward innovative approaches to teacher evaluation. A collaborative effort between teachers and administrators that is not centered on compliance but on improving instruction will result in better educational outcomes for the students we serve.”
