Starting this school year, Ridgewood teachers will have access to a new ongoing professional development consortium through a partnership between the district and Montclair State University (MSU).
Called the Montclair State University Network for Educational Renewal (MSUNER), the organization is a partnership among the university and New Jersey school districts from across multiple counties that aims to promote “the simultaneous renewal of schools and teacher education through collaboration between and among the university and member school districts,” according to the MSUNER website.
The Ridgewood school district was accepted into the program in the spring following an application process and a site visit from MSUNER representatives, said Superintendent Daniel Fishbein.
