Purpose for the Work: StudentsAcross New Jersey, we share a common vision that all of our students have access to the high‐quality education they deserve.
This is achieved when we see that students have the opportunity to thrive as they advance through each grade and they develop the skills and knowledge needed to choose a successful path following high school.

New Jersey students have been rising to meet the challenge of our expectations
• Establishing a clear view of what students should know and be able to do at each grade level
• Creating meaningful graduation requirements where students must demonstrate they have the knowledge and skills to succeed in whatever path they choose after high school
• Providing supports to schools, districts, and educators where needed by streamlining NJDOE staff and resource support
• Administering a best‐in‐class assessment that is better aligned to college and career readiness
• Empowering educators with timely data on their students progress, opportunities, challengesStudent

Continually Improving Accountability and Support Systems
In an effort to support schools and districts to close achievement gaps, raise overall student performance, and provide all students the education they deserve, this year, the NJDOE is focusing on building on our many successes and improving our accountability and support
systems in the following ways:
Clarify the purpose of each accountability system and how it is meant to identify schools and districts in need of support to close achievement gaps and provide supports for all students.
Align all accountability systems (state, local, federal) and goals to provide a cohesive set of student and educator supports from districts and NJDOE program offices, county offices and comprehensive support networks.
Simplify and streamline existing accountability and support systems by reducing burdens for schools and districts whenever possible.
