CLAYTON PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT

Clayton Public Schools is proud to recognize Sue Taney, our Early Childhood Supervisor and District Green Team Chair, for being featured in Rowan University’s Discoveries in Education (Student Spotlight) series.
Sue was selected by the NJ Department of Education as one of only ten statewide experts to help revise the New Jersey Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards—the first major update since 2014. With nearly two decades of experience, she brought her deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and high-quality early learning to this important work.
Congratulations, Sue, on this incredible achievement—and thank you for the leadership and expertise you bring to Clayton’s youngest learners every day!
