District Assessment Schedule & Information
New Jersey State Assessments
​
Governor Murphy tasked the NJ Department of Education (NJDOE) with transitioning toward a new generation of statewide assessment. Making the transition in phases ensures a smooth implementation in schools across the state and assures compliance with current state and federal mandates. Consequently, the NJDOE is recommending short term changes, now, with plans to further engage stakeholders throughout the 2018-2019 school year on longer term proposals.
To start the process, in May and June, the NJDOE logged more than 5,700 miles visiting New Jersey’s 21 counties, holding 75 collaboratives and meetings in schools and at the DOE with students, parents and educators. Online webinars and a dedicated email address also were provided for interested parties that were unable to attend in-person.
On July 10, 2018, the NJDOE issued an Assessment Outreach Report, which summarizes what was heard and describes short and long-term changes to advance a transition to the next generation assessment.
