A 3018 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Commissioner of Education to develop best practices guidelines concerning student preparation for State assessments.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Education to create and issue guidelines by September 1, 2023, for school districts on preparing students for state assessments. The guidelines must include best practices for test preparation, specifically addressing how to limit the amount of classroom time dedicated to test prep. These rules apply directly to all public school districts in New Jersey that administer state assessments. The bill focuses on setting clear parameters for instructional time rather than changing the assessments themselves.
