NJTSS-ER Implementation Shows Demonstrable Growth

 

Implementation of NJTSS for early reading has not only resulted in better integration of research-based practices into classrooms, but has also been instrumental for bolstering student outcomes.

In the latest cohort of eight districts scaling implementation of NJTSS for early reading, the proportion of K-3 students attaining phonics benchmarks increased by an average of 20% in only a year and a half.

NJTSS-ER Framework

With NJTSS-ER, a staged approach is used to integrate essential components across three tiers of support to enable all students to effectively acquire early reading skills.

It takes several years to fully integrate the NJTSS-ER framework into schools.
