Teacher Study Groups

The Montclair State University Network for Educational Renewal (MSUNER) provides $1000 in Teacher Study Group (TSG) grant funding for each partner district. Every September the MSUNER makes available the request for proposals for that academic year's funding. A TSG is meant to provide an opportunity for teachers to take responsibility for their own professional development and renewal by engaging in collaborative learning and inquiry that will advance the goal of simultaneous renewal of the schools and the education of educators. In other words, it gives a group of educators a chance to work and learn together about a topic of mutual interest.

At least one of the Study Group members must be a Clinical Faculty member to be eligible for TSG funding.  

The MSUNER Teacher Study Group grants are also aligned with the New Jersey Professional Teaching Standards. The graphic illustrates the connections:
