Connected Action Roadmap

Destination: Student Learning

Endorsed by all of the leading educational
organizations across NJ as well as the NJ
Department of Education, CAR has become
the vision for school improvement in New
Jersey schools. It was recently used by
teams of educators from across the state
working with the NJDOE to develop K-12 ELA
and Math instructional units with common
student learning objectives derived from
the NJ Student Learning Standards. These
resources, when combined with the CAR conversations, offer a powerful toolkit
for PLCs to develop a shared understanding of the standards, strengthen
teacher practice and improve student learning outcomes.

CAR is a systems-based approach to strengthening teaching, leading, and
learning. It brings coherence to the work of educators by connecting curric-
ulum, instruction, assessment, professional learning, and school climate and
culture to the work of professional learning communities. Through the tools
and resources provided by CAR, the work of educators shifts from program
to practice as it improves student learning outcomes and promotes the
development of teacher leadership.
