Why teachers use these

Why New Jersey teachers use these

The NJSLS get revised on a rolling cycle, and every couple of years another legislative mandate lands on top: Amistad, Holocaust and genocide education, inclusive instruction covering LGBTQ and disability history, AAPI history, and climate change written into all nine content areas. Nobody hands you an extra period to cover them. A finished unit with slides, tiered tasks and keys lets you fold required content into a course you already teach instead of bolting on an assembly.

What's covered

What you get in each unit

Everything is editable, which matters when a supervisor wants the standard code and the SGO target visible in the header.

  • Worksheets at four levels
  • Editable PowerPoint deck
  • Answer keys throughout
  • Lesson plan with timings
  • Printable and digital copies

Make it work for everyone

Differentiation and SGO evidence

Run the same task at two tiers and you have a defensible baseline and a post-measure for a Student Growth Objective without inventing a separate assessment. The four levels also cover most I&RS and 504 accommodations from one file. Keep two graded samples per tier in a folder and your autumn SGO conference more or less writes itself.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Do these meet the NJSLS?

They are written to the concepts and skills the NJSLS describes. They have not been reviewed or approved by the New Jersey Department of Education, and we would not claim otherwise. Most units line up with a performance expectation or anchor standard without changes, and adding the exact NJSLS code your supervisor wants takes about a minute.

Can I cover the climate change mandate in a non-science class?

That is exactly where the mandate bites, because New Jersey wrote it into all nine content areas rather than into science alone. An English unit built on climate reporting and argument writing serves your literacy objective and the mandate at the same time. Pick the unit for the skill you need, then log the connection in your plans.

Will these prepare students for the NJSLA and NJGPA?

They build the reading, writing and reasoning those assessments sample, but they are not practice tests and they do not copy the item format. Use the units to teach the skill, then use your Start Strong results or a district benchmark to decide which tier an individual student needs next.
