About NJPEPWelcome to the New Jersey Professional Education Port (NJPEP). A major goal of this exciting professional development site is to support teachers and the entire educational community in the understanding and implementation of the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and their related statewide assessments. Since NJPEP's inception, the Department of Education has extended the vision to include the possibility of interaction by, and input from, teachers and other educators. The name, New Jersey Professional Education Port, is designed to imply the movement of information in and out of the site, and to and from persons in the state. Visitors to the site will find standards-based classroom activities from New Jersey educators and professional development opportunities both face-to-face and online. The online courses are via a learning management system (LMS) through a partnership with Rutgers University. Participants receive professional development hours for successful course completion. Currently, the online courses include: Online Facilitation, English Language Learners in the Mainstream (ELL) and Reading First/early literacy courses (i.e., Guided Comprehension, Fluency, Interactive Writing, Motivation and Background Knowledge, Phonics, Phonemic Awareness, and Read Aloud). Please keep visiting to take advantage of updates and new content, as well as video and sound clips of professional development activities. We look forward to your comments, multimedia clips, and ideas. You may e-mail us at NJPEP@doe.state.nj.us. |
