Requirements for Teachers Participation
NJMTA Cooperative Teacher Work Requirements
The New Jersey Teachers Association is a nonprofit organization comprised of educators working to promote musical excellence and to motivate students to strive for quality standards. The NJMTA Board is a small group of volunteers who devote many hours to the execution of the group’s purpose. It is stated in the MTNA code of Ethics, found in this Yearbook, under Responsibilities to Or Colleagues, that members shall participate as fully as possible in the activities of the MTNA and that members shall provide professional assistance to one another when such assistance is requested. Together, we work for the benefit of all.
As it has become an enormous endeavor, we need you, the teachers, to participate actively in order to maintain the same high quality that has made this organization so valuable to the students of New Jersey. With every event, there are myriad important details that must come together to make them successful.
We need your help!
The board of Directors has determined the following policies concerning teacher participation:
- To remain a member in good standing, all teachers who enter students in any event must help. Job choices are listed on the reverse of every registration form. If this form is not completed, the registration form will be returned to the teacher and the students will not be entered.
- At the discretion of the Student Activities Coordinator(s), teachers in poor health may be excused from assisting.
- If a teacher is unable to help on an audition/competition day due to work obligations, a qualified, responsible substitute, high school-aged or older, may be sent. If the substitute does not appear, that teacher’s registration form will not be accepted the following year.
