New Jersey Department of Education

What is the Summer Learning Institute?

The New Jersey Partnership for Student Success (NJPSS) is a statewide three-year effort focused on supporting students, families, and educators with the goal of realizing academic gains, increasing graduation rates, reducing chronic absenteeism and improving student well-being and mental health.

To support this initiative, the New Jersey Department of Education's (NJDOE) Office of Special Education will be hosting a summer learning institute through the Learning Resource Centers (LRC) to empower educators with the knowledge and support to meet the needs of our diverse learners.

What is offered as part of the Summer Learning Institute?
