Tiered Intervention Search Engine (TISE) The tiered interventions in this search engine include resources and legal mandates for all public schools students, as well as students who may need Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS) and/or special education and related services. Classroom teachers utilizing a three tiered approach to teaching and learning - whole class, small group and individual instruction - will find resources and interventions to assist him/her in this daunting task. Schools/districts will also find suggested resources and interventions to address the needs of all students (Tier 1), targeted groups of students with particularized needs (Tier 2) and individual students with individualized needs (Tier 3).

The Newark Teachers Union and the Newark Public Schools collaborated on developing the Standards Clarification Search Engine.

It should help stakeholders better align their professional practices with state standards and assessments.

Newark School Data

Newark School Data: The New Jersey Board of Education collects a vast amount of information. In order to make this information more user-friendly, the Newark Teachers Union has compiled this data from the school report cards, No Child Left Behind Report Cards, and Comparative Spending Guide. Below you will find disaggregated test scores, school-based budgets, school report card data, and No Child Left Behind data for each school. In addition, for schools that have gone through the CAPA process, we have included the school's CAPA recommendations.
