Montgomery Challenger - Special education students from Montgomery Township schools have formed a Little League baseball team. Teachers help organize and high school students volunteer as baseball buddies. With parents help and support, this competition a positive and memorable experience for everyone.

Romeo & Juliet - Years ago Marianne Eitel, a teacher at Kingsway Regional High School in Swedesboro, discovered that the traditional written exam is not always the best way to determine a student's progress in school. During a study of Romeo and Juliet, the students demonstrate what they've learned through performances, intense projects including the creation of a video and a newspaper from that era. This type of assessing student process is called Performance Evaluation.

Performance Evaluation - Educational experts debate the concept of standardized testing verses performance evaluation. NJEA Vice President Joyce Powell will discuss this educational concept with David Nash of the NJ Principals and supervisors Association and Christine Kane of the Association of Supervisors and Curriculum Development.

Thematic Gardening - A rose is not just a rose in Elizabeth Avenue School in Franklin Township. The students incorporate literature, art, computers, and science to plant a garden. This program is funded through a grant from the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education.
