The South Orange-Maplewood
Education Foundation(SOMEF)
Staff development
Teachers need to stay current in new developments in the areas of educational theory, methods, and materials in order to maintain their effectiveness in the classroom. The South Orange-Maplewood Education Foundation is currently working with the school district to provide funds to augment the professional development program in ways that fulfill our mission.
Michelle Traina Riecke Fellowships afford recipients the opportunity to participate in a summer professional development experience that leads to improvements in practice, curriculum, and student achievement.
