“2008 School Counseling Reinvent Grant Winner”

NEWARK TECH

 

Newark Tech has received a Department of Education grant being administered by Kean University.  The purpose of the grant is to develop statewide systemic reform in school guidance and counseling based on the implementation of comprehensive, developmental school counseling programs that are focused on promoting life and career development and student achievement through partnerships between state government agencies, state school counseling associations, and institutions of higher education.  This will be accomplished through the development of a system to support the implementation of comprehensive, developmental guidance and counseling programs to meet the needs of all students.

 

This project will focus on providing leadership in the development and implementation of quality comprehensive guidance and counseling programs in high schools to support the NJDOE’s mission “to prepare all students for their role as citizens and for the career opportunities of the 21st century.”
