NEW JERSEY Department of Education
New Jersey: Core Curriculum Content Standards - Adopted in 1996 and subject to revision every five years, the NJ standards deal with the arts, career education, ELA, FACS, health, math, PE, science, social studies, technological literacy, and world languages. A typical document, available as both a web page and in Adobe Acrobat format, contains the relevant standards, strands, and progress indicators.
New Jersey: Academic and Professional Standards - In 2003, the state published ten standards for teachers. Categories ranged from subject matter knowledge to professional development, with each standard having three subcategories: knowledge, dispositions, and performances. School leaders have six standards, each of which has the same three subcategories. None of the categories have short titles, the way the teacher standards do. Both sets of standards are on line in Adobe Acrobat format. This site also has a link to professional development standards for teachers that deal with the plans they create for themselves or that districts create for their staffs.
New Jersey: NJPEP - NJPEP offers online professional development resources, including a link to state standards and a fair amount of supporting material. The latter include descriptions of the strands within the standards and various classroom activities.
