The Standards Transparency and Mastery Platform (STAMP) is designed to support local educational agencies' (LEAs) utilization of New Jersey Student Learning Standards to update curricula. The Division of Teaching and Learning Services has developed this platform to provide resources, guidance documents, and other features to aid educators in:
- developing a clear, thorough understanding of the standards in each content area
- providing meaningful professional learning opportunities
- revising curricula
- designing standards-based instruction
High-quality STAMP resources ensure that New Jersey’s teachers are able to implement the New Jersey Student Learning Standards with fidelity, clarity, and effectiveness.

Assessments
New Jersey Student Learning Assessment for Science (NJSLA-S): The NJSLA-S is the state science test for New Jersey public school students in grade 5, grade 8, and grade 11. This link provides access to detailed information about these assessments.
How do we create local 3-D Assessments?
- Short Course: How to Develop 3D Formative Assessments for the Science Classroom: Formative assessment in the classroom is crucial because everyone engaged in complex learning benefits from timely and focused feedback. The process also promotes important processes of self-explanation, reflection, and learning (metacognition). This short course will help you learn how to develop and use 3D formative assessments in the classroom.

- Seeing Students Learn Science: Integrating Assessment and Instruction in the Classroom (2017)
- The Stanford NGSS Assessment Project (SNAP):SNAP is focusing on ways that high-quality performance assessment can support the implementation of new NGSS/NJSLS-S. Their resources include research and reports, exemplar assessment tasks, and professional development resources.
