Christopher Campisano, the coordinator of higher education programs at the New Jersey Department of Education for the past four years, has been selected as the director of Princeton's Program in Teacher Preparation , effective July 12. He succeeds John Webb, who will retire at the end of the current academic year.
In his current post, Campisano works with institutions of higher education across the state to ensure that teacher and school leader preparation programs maintain consistently high standards.
